When used in the nasal area, dermal fillers will instantly lift the areas of the skin that need more support. They can also create definition and symmetry where required. They are injected into the underlying skin tissues and create a ‘scaffold’ for the uppermost layers. They can disguise a bump on the nose, produce more of a tip, even out asymmetry and re-shape the nose for a more attractive appearance.

Results will be seen straight away as the dermal filler will physically lift and support the tissues of the skin and can be moulded into shape by your practitioner. However, there may be some slight swelling immediately after your treatment which can mask the true results, but this eases after a day or so.

The product can take up to 2 weeks to fully settle and this is typically when the optimum results are visualised. After such time, you may wish to return to the clinic for a top-up or re-balancing, which may be required in some cases.

The longevity of your results somewhat depends on your individual response to dermal fillers and how quickly your body metabolises the product injected. Most dermal fillers used in the nose are longer lasting as they are more viscous and contain a cross-linking agent, which stabilises the product and makes it ‘thicker’.

At The Harley Street Face Clinic London, we use products that are proven to provide the highest safety records as well as exceptional performance. Some patients only need to have a non-surgical rhinoplasty once a year. However, expect to visit your practitioner every 6 to 12 months for repeat treatments. You will get to know how your body responds to the treatment and how often you will need treatment.

Most patients have minimal recovery time, walk out of the clinic and continue with their normal, everyday activities. You may have some slight swelling and tenderness.

In some rare cases, bruising follow your treatment. However, this will ease in a day or so and will not prevent you from undertaking your daily routine.

Aftercare includes avoiding saunas, hot baths, steam or excessive exercise for 24 hours post-procedure. Be careful not to rub or touch the area for at least 48 hours.

It’s important to be careful with your face after any cosmetic treatment and to use facial products that are approved for post-procedure care.

On rare occasions, there can be a serious issue with fillers to the nose, resulting in damage to vision. For this reason, it is important to see a specialist who has knowledge of the underlying anatomy of the face who knows how to avoid these issues.

At The Harley Street Face Clinic, our practitioners are medically qualified to administer the treatment safely and carry out multiple important steps that are necessary to ensure a good result free of issues.
