A non-surgical rhinoplasty is a safe and effective treatment for most patients who are looking to enhance the appearance of their nose without undergoing invasive surgery. However, the treatment may not be suitable for everyone, and Dr Saleki will need to assess your nose and medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

During your consultation, our experienced cosmetic doctor, Dr Mahsa Saleki, will assess your nose and discuss your aesthetic goals with you. She will then recommend the best course of treatment to help you achieve your desired results.

During the procedure, a small amount of numbing cream is applied to the nose to minimise any discomfort. Dr Saleki will then use a fine needle to inject small amounts of dermal filler into specific areas of the nose to create the desired effect. The filler will be gently massaged into place to ensure a smooth and natural-looking result.

The fillers used in non-surgical rhinoplasty treatments are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the body. This means that the treatment is safe and well-tolerated by most patients.

There are several benefits to choosing a non-surgical rhinoplasty over traditional surgery, including:

• Non-invasive: The procedure is minimally invasive and does not require any incisions or general anesthesia.
• Minimal downtime: There is no recovery time needed, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
• Quick and convenient: The procedure can be completed in just one appointment and typically takes less than an hour.
• Immediate results: You can see the results of your treatment immediately after the procedure is completed.
• Reversible: If you’re not happy with the results, the fillers can be dissolved, and the procedure can be reversed.

The most common technique, uses fillers to smooth out any bumps on the bridge of the nose to make the profile of the nose straighter. Dermal filler can also be placed at the tip of the nose to lift and create a more feminine shape. Botulinum toxin A can also be injected below the tip of the nose to relax the muscle pulling it down resulting in a lifted tip. More recently PDO threads are being used to lift the tip and straighten the bridge simultaneously. This is a more desired technique for those who want to change the shape of their nose without adding too much volume to their nose.

As with all aesthetics treatments, consumption of alcohol should be avoided for 12 hours before and after treatment, the same is said for smoking but for 6 hours. Particular to this treatment, you should avoid any pressure on your nose for 2-3 weeks and that includes avoiding the use of glasses/ sunglasses.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the skin, joints, and eyes of humans. It helps retain moisture, making skin look plump and youthful. When used in cosmetic treatments, it provides volume and hydration. Because it’s a naturally occurring substance in our body, it is generally considered safe for cosmetic use. However, always ensure you’re getting treatments from licensed professionals.

Yes, many patients combine non-surgical rhinoplasty with other treatments like Botox, cheek fillers, or lip augmentation to achieve a comprehensive facial makeover. However, it’s important to discuss your goals with Dr Saleki to ensure compatibility and to schedule treatments appropriately.

Since the fillers used are usually made from substances naturally found in the body, allergic reactions are rare. However, it’s always a good idea to discuss any allergies or skin sensitivities with your doctor during the consultation.

While results can last between 6 and 12 months, individual experiences vary. Some patients might require touch-ups sooner to maintain the desired appearance. Regular consultations will help determine the best schedule for you.

Initially, you may notice a slight difference in the softness of the treated area. However, with time, as the filler integrates with your skin, it should feel natural.

If you choose not to continue with touch-ups, the fillers will gradually be absorbed by your body, and your nose will return to its pre-treatment state over time.

It’s recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E for about a week before treatment to minimise the risk of bruising. Always consult with Dr Saleki or your primary doctor before stopping any medication.

It’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to the treated area to avoid potential infections or irritations.

Following post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding excessive sun exposure, not applying pressure to the treated area, and keeping the area clean, will help ensure optimal and long-lasting results.
