The nose is a prominent feature that plays an important role in facial harmony. Many patients are looking for a minimally invasive option for addressing issues with their noses, including lifting the tip of the nose. Non-surgical nose job can help enhance the overall appearance of the nose, raising your confidence as well as your nasal tip.
At Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery, our non-surgical rhinoplasty specialist, Dr. Pramit Malhotra, can help guide you through all aspects of your non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure.
What is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Traditional rhinoplasty, also called a nose job, takes a surgical approach to correct functional issues as well as enhance the appearance of the nose. Non-surgical nose job temporarily addresses aesthetic issues of the nose.
Not only can non-surgical rhinoplasty raise the tip of the nose without incisions, anesthesia, pain and discomfort, or a lengthy recovery, but non-surgical nose job can also help improve the appearance of the nose by:
- Smoothing small bumps
- Improving nasal and facial contours
- Reshaping nasal appearance
- Making the tip more prominent
- Increasing nose volume
- Enhancing symmetry
- Balancing proportions
How Does a Non-Surgical Nose Job Work?
Typically, non-surgical rhinoplasty uses a combination of FDA-approved injectables—dermal fillers and neuromodulators—to enhance the appearance of the nose.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a key element to non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures. They help to enhance the appearance of the nose and balance facial proportions. Fillers also promote natural collagen production to improve skin’s overall appearance while smoothing bumps and renewing contours.
Neuromodulators
When used in a non-surgical nose job, Botox® doesn’t raise the tip of the nose; however, it relaxes the muscle that pulls the nasal tip downward without impeding facial movement in untreated areas.
How Long Do Non-Surgical Nose Job Results Last?
The length of your non-surgical nose job results will depend on the injectables used and your individual response. Typically, results last 6 to 12 months. However, as the results of non-surgical rhinoplasty are temporary, you will require follow ups to maintain your results.
Am I a Candidate for a Non-Surgical Nose Job?
Generally, non-surgical nose job candidates in Ann Arbor include patients in good overall health who are looking for minimally invasive options to enhance the appearance of their nose.
Candidates should:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Live a healthy lifestyle
- Be non-smokers, or be willing to quit
- Not be pregnant or nursing
- Have no history of neuromuscular diseases
- Have realistic expectations
Non-surgical nose jobs are not an effective solution for patients looking to decrease the size of their nose, to restore a crooked or broken nose, or repair breathing issues, such as deviated septum. For these patients, a more effective solution is traditional rhinoplasty.
