0455 859 548A non surgical rhinoplasty is a temporary way to change the shape of the nose without undergoing surgery. By cleverly adding volume to precise areas of the nose, it can conceal bumps, alter the shape of the nose tip and more.
While the results of the treatment can be quite long lasting, its non surgical nature means that they will not be permanent. Essentially, the longevity of your results will depend on multiple factors, such as how the body processes the treatment, the technique used, and individual lifestyle habits.

How does a non surgical rhinoplasty work?
The treatment works by adding volume in specific areas of the nose to adjust its shape. By carefully placing the material, certain features can be temporarily adjusted, and minor irregularities can be addressed.
Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, which involves reshaping the bone and cartilage, non-surgical rhinoplasty only modifies the external appearance.
To make these changes, different techniques can be used that align with your needs, tailoring the approach to your nose’s unique structure and meeting your goals.
How long do the results typically last?
Since this is a temporary procedure, the body will gradually break down and absorb the added volume over time. The effects of non surgical rhinoplasty generally last anywhere between six to 18 months, but it can vary from person to person.
There are a variety of factors of the treatment that can influence long results of non surgical rhinoplasty treatments will last, including the body’s natural metabolism, the technique used, how well the nose is protected after the treatment and certain personal lifestyle habits.
Firstly, when it comes to the body’s metabolism, the body will naturally process and absorb the material over time. Those with a faster metabolism may notice that the results fade sooner, while others may retain them for longer. This is normal and simply an aspect of the treatment process that will need tailoring to each person – for example, to maintain the results, some patients may need more frequent treatment sessions than others.
The way the treatment is applied can also impact how long it lasts. A well-placed treatment may maintain its effect for a longer period, whereas uneven distribution can lead to faster absorption. This is why choosing an experienced Cosmetic Physician like Dr Scott can help!
Results can also depend on how well you protect your nose. For example, external pressure on the nose by consistently pressing or manipulating the nose can affect how long the results remain visible. Dr Scott can discuss how to protect your nose after your treatment, but it is generally a good idea to make sure that you can avoid excess pressure where possible.
Certain lifestyle factors, such as smoking, excessive sun exposure, and general skin health, can also influence how the body processes the treatment. Maintaining good skin hydration and overall care can help to extend the results for longer.
Overall, results can be long-lasting, but multiple factors can influence how long each person’s results will last.

What happens to the appearance of the nose as the results fade?
Since non surgical rhinoplasty (or liquid rhinoplasty) does not involve permanent structural changes, the nose will gradually return to its original shape over time. The process is not immediate but occurs slowly as the body absorbs the added volume.
For those who want to maintain the results, follow-up treatments are typically required. The timing of maintenance treatments depends on how quickly the volume diminishes and personal preferences regarding the shape of the nose.
How often can a non surgical rhinoplasty treatment session be repeated?
While the treatment can be repeated once the previous results have begun to fade, it will still be important to allow enough time between sessions to assess how the body responds and to ensure that the area is ready for the additional volume.
Just like the longevity of the results will depend on a variety of individual factors, so will the frequency of your top up treatment sessions. For example, some people choose to have touch-ups every six months, while others may wait over a year before considering another session.
During each follow-up treatment, thanks to the temporary nature of the treatment, you can even make some changes to the previous results, if you like. Just discuss any adjustments you would like to make with Dr Scott!
Can a non surgical rhinoplasty be a long-term alternative to surgery?
A non surgical rhinoplasty can be great for its adjustable, temporary and non-extensive nature, as it allows for flexibility, prevents the need of undergoing surgery and can mean that you don’t need to commit to a permanent change.
However, if you do find that you would like some changes to be permanent, this is when you may think about the possibility of a surgical rhinoplasty. Sometimes, people will even have a non surgical rhinoplasty treatment to see how certain changes might look before deciding on surgery.
So, while the treatment doesn’t necessarily replace surgery, it can still be a long-term treatment option for those who do not want permanent changes.
