When considering enhancing the appearance of your nose, two prominent options often come up: the non-surgical nose job and rhinoplasty. Both procedures aim to reshape and refine the nose, but they differ significantly in terms of methods, results, and recovery. Let’s dive deeper into what each offers and answer some frequently asked questions to help you choose the best option for your aesthetic goals.
Also known as liquid rhinoplasty, a non-surgical nose job uses dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid to temporarily modify the nose’s appearance. This is a great solution for those seeking minor adjustments without committing to surgery.
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that provides a permanent solution for those seeking more substantial changes. At BeautyLand Plastic Surgery, Dr. Oliver Pope Simmons M.D. and Dr. Jaime Flores M.D. perform rhinoplasty to address both aesthetic and functional concerns, such as breathing issues caused by structural problems.
Results from a non-surgical nose job typically last between 6-18 months, depending on the type of filler used and how your body metabolizes it.
No, there’s minimal to no downtime. You may experience mild swelling or redness, but most people resume normal activities right after the procedure.
Ideal candidates are those looking to correct minor imperfections, such as small bumps, dips, or asymmetries, without undergoing surgery.
Rhinoplasty can address size, shape, symmetry, the nasal tip, and nasal bridge. It can also correct breathing issues related to the nasal structure, such as a deviated septum.
Initial recovery takes about 1-2 weeks, during which swelling and bruising are common. Full results may take several months to a year to become fully apparent as the swelling gradually subsides.
Risks are minimal but can include bruising, swelling, or in rare cases, vascular complications. However, these risks are reduced when performed by an experienced provider.
Yes, functional rhinoplasty can correct structural issues like a deviated septum, leading to improved breathing and reduced snoring.
One of the major benefits of a non-surgical nose job is its reversibility. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using a special enzyme, returning your nose to its original shape.
While some changes are visible immediately, full results take time to settle. Initial swelling subsides within a few weeks, but the final outcome may take up to a year to fully appear.
It depends on your goals. A non-surgical nose job is ideal for minor, temporary adjustments with no downtime. Rhinoplasty is a better option if you’re seeking more dramatic, permanent changes or need functional improvements.
If you’re looking for a subtle change or simply want to test out what a nose enhancement would look like, a non-surgical nose job might be the best option. This treatment is quick, requires minimal recovery, and provides temporary yet satisfying results for minor imperfections.
On the other hand, if you’re aiming for more substantial, permanent changes, or if you’re dealing with breathing issues, rhinoplasty is likely the better solution. Performed by our expert surgeons, Dr. Oliver Pope Simmons M.D. and Dr. Jaime Flores M.D., rhinoplasty can reshape the nose for a lifetime of improved aesthetics and function.
