Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping

Non-surgical nose reshaping procedures have become some of the most common cosmetic treatments. It's now possible to address issues such as a drooping nasal tip, a large nose, or nasal swelling — all without surgery. The latest trend in treating nasal concerns is precisely this: achieving nose reshaping without any surgical intervention at all.

Most traditional cosmetic surgeries require partial or full anesthesia, which significantly increases the cost. Additionally, surgery is often not preferred by doctors or patients alike due to the risk of complications. These can range from minor issues like localized inflammation to more serious problems such as infection, contamination, or even total surgical failure, resulting in unsatisfactory outcomes.

Methods of Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping

Non-surgical nose reshaping techniques are suitable for many cases, including:

• Lifting the nasal tip
• Reducing or narrowing the nose
• Smoothing out bony protrusions
• Correcting congenital deformities on the nasal surface
• Straightening nasal deviation
• Enhancing the definition of the nasal tip

Nose Thread Lift

Thread lift techniques are primarily used to address a drooping nasal tip. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, which allows patients to resume their normal activities on the same day, since the nose does not need to be splinted afterward. The doctor may choose to leave the threads in place or remove them later.

The procedure typically takes between 20 and 60 minutes. No surgical incisions are made; instead, special metallic needles are used to insert the threads into the nasal cartilage tissue. The results are visible immediately, and any post-procedure pain is minimal or non-existent.

The threads used in this procedure are a special type of invisible surgical thread (made of nylon). In most cases, these threads are not removed after the procedure.

Nose Reshaping with Filler

The filler technique (also called nose filler) is a very modern method for reshaping the nose without full surgery. It is particularly effective in cases where there is a dip in the nasal bridge, or where a bump is followed by a depression — the filler is used to fill in that dip to restore a smooth nasal profile. It can also be used to inject specific substances into the muscle responsible for lifting a drooping nasal tip to slightly increase its height. Additionally, injections on the sides of the nose can reduce the size of the nostrils.

However, it’s important to note that fillers cannot actually reduce the size of the nose, nor can they correct a deviated (crooked) nose.

Nose filler procedures are done in a single session, and the injections take only a few minutes. The downside is that the results are not permanent; the patient may need to repeat the treatment after one or two years.
