Non-surgical rhinoplasty: How long does it last?

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a liquid rhinoplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses dermal fillers to reshape the nose. It’s often chosen by individuals who want to improve the appearance of their nose without undergoing surgery. One of the most common questions patients ask is how long the results will last.

How long do the results of non-surgical rhinoplasty last?

The longevity of non-surgical rhinoplasty depends on the type of filler used, the individual’s metabolism, and other factors. In most cases:

• Results typically last between 6 to 18 months.
• Hyaluronic acid fillers, the most commonly used type, gradually break down and are reabsorbed by the body over time.

Certain factors, such as the amount of filler used and the specific area of the nose treated, can also influence how long the effects last.

What happens after the results fade?

As the filler is naturally absorbed by the body, the nose gradually returns to its original shape. At this point, patients can choose to repeat the procedure to maintain their desired look. Since non-surgical rhinoplasty is temporary, it offers flexibility for those who may want to adjust their treatment over time.

How many times can you get a non-surgical nose job?

There is no specific limit to how many times you can undergo non-surgical rhinoplasty. As long as the skin and underlying tissues of the nose remain healthy, the procedure can be repeated to maintain or refine the desired results. However, it is important to:

• Allow enough time between treatments for the previous filler to dissolve completely, if necessary.
• Follow the guidance of a qualified practitioner, who will assess your skin and nasal structure before recommending further treatments.

Repeated procedures are generally safe when performed by an experienced professional, but overuse of fillers can sometimes lead to unwanted changes in the skin or nasal tissues.

What are the key considerations when it comes to non-surgical rhinoplasty?

• The results are not permanent, making it an excellent option for patients who want to trial changes before committing to surgical rhinoplasty.
• Regular touch-ups may be needed to maintain results, depending on individual preferences and the speed of filler breakdown.

If you are considering non-surgical rhinoplasty, consulting with an experienced practitioner can help you determine if this treatment is right for you.
