Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Long Island
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure in which dermal fillers are used to temporarily change the shape of your nose. It's a popular alternative for people who don't want to undergo plastic surgery.
Getting A Non-Surgical Nose Job
In this procedure, we inject dermal fillers into the bridge, slope and tip of your nose to the improve shape and size. Clients often come to us unhappy with certain features - a large dorsal hump, a bulbous tip, or a wide bridge are all common complaints. ​Thankfully, we can address all of these concerns with injectables!
When you come for your consultation, we'll discuss your aesthetic goals and determine a treatment plan to help you achieve the nose of your dreams. The treatment can be done in one office visit and results typically last up to six months.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Procedure:
Please arrive for your appointment with a clean face (no makeup, moisturizer, etc.). After an initial consultation, the area may be numbed with a topical anesthetic. "Before" photos will be taken so we can assess the results over time, then the area will be cleaned with alcohol and injection will begin. Injection takes anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of procedure. Arnica oil will be applied post-injection and "after" photos will be taken.

Healing from Nose Filler:
Minor bruising, redness, swelling and tenderness is common for a few days after filler is injected. Patients should avoid touching, picking at or scratching the area of injection during healing, as well as strenuous activity within the twenty-four hours after treatment. Patients should ice the area intermittently on the first day, as well as apply arnica gel or take arnica pills and eat pineapple to prevent bruising. Patients should avoid taking NSAIDS, aspirin or alcohol for 48-72 hours after injection.
