Question 1

Is Non-surgical Rhinoplasty treatment safe?

Accepted Answer

We use only CE-marked, hyaluronic-acid-based dermal fillers from established manufacturers. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in your skin, which means it is well tolerated and, importantly, can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if ever needed. Safety comes from the injector as much as the product: your treatment is carried out by a medically qualified practitioner with detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, working with sterile technique in a clinical setting. We keep hyaluronidase and an emergency protocol on site as standard.

Question 2

What are the contraindications of Non-surgical Rhinoplasty treatment?

Accepted Answer

We will not proceed with non-surgical rhinoplasty where treatment is not clinically appropriate. Contraindications include: pregnancy or breastfeeding; known allergy to hyaluronic acid or lidocaine; active skin infection, cold sore outbreak or inflammation in the treatment area; autoimmune or connective tissue disease that is active or poorly controlled; blood-thinning medication, which increases bruising risk and needs discussion first; recent dental work or planned vaccination within two weeks; unrealistic expectations, or body dysmorphic disorder; previous surgical rhinoplasty within the last twelve months; previous permanent filler in the nose. This list is not exhaustive, your full medical history, medications and previous treatments are reviewed at consultation, and we will always tell you honestly if we think you should wait or not proceed at all.

Question 3

What are the possible side effects of Non-surgical Rhinoplasty treatment?

Accepted Answer

Side effects are usually mild and short-lived. The most common are: swelling and tenderness for two to seven days; bruising, which can last up to a fortnight and is easily covered with make-up after 24 hours; small lumps or firmness that usually settle, and can be massaged or adjusted at review; rarely, infection, nodule formation or vascular occlusion, the reason we treat only in a medical setting with hyaluronidase on hand. Serious complications are rare in a medical setting. You will be given full written aftercare, our direct contact details and 24/7 access to our WhatsApp helpline so that anything unexpected can be reviewed quickly.

Question 4

How long does the treatment take?

Accepted Answer

Around 30 minutes. Your first appointment always includes an unhurried consultation, so please allow a little longer for that visit.

Question 5

Does the treatment hurt?

Accepted Answer

Discomfort is mild and short-lived. The fillers we use contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, and we can apply numbing cream beforehand. Most patients describe pressure rather than pain, and are comfortable throughout.

Question 6

When will I notice results?

Accepted Answer

Immediate, with any minor swelling settling within a week.

Question 7

What is the aftercare for Non-surgical Rhinoplasty treatment?

Accepted Answer

Aftercare is simple: keep the area clean and avoid make-up over the injection points for 12 hours; avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and sunbeds for 48 hours; avoid alcohol for 24 hours to reduce bruising and swelling; sleep slightly elevated for the first two nights if swelling is noticeable; do not massage or press the area unless we have specifically asked you to; avoid dental work, facials and laser treatments for two weeks. We provide written aftercare instructions after every appointment and review you at two weeks so we can check the result together.

Question 8

How long do results typically last for?

Accepted Answer

Twelve to eighteen months, often longer, as the nose moves very little.

Question 9

How many treatments do I need?

Accepted Answer

One session is usually sufficient; a small refinement at two to four weeks is sometimes helpful.
