HOW DOES NONINVASIVE NOSE RESHAPING WITH FILLERS WORK?
The Non-Surgical Nose Augmentation* (also known as the 15 minute nose job) is performed by injecting a FDA approved dermal filler in certain parts of the nose bridge and or nose tip to achieve a number of cosmetic outcomes. Within a few minutes, immediate correction will be achieved with minimum to no pain and minimal recovery and downtime.
The Non-Surgical nose job is ideal for those who wish to have a more attractive nose without having to go through the possible complications, downtime, and high costs associated with Rhinoplasty (surgical nose correction). It is ideal for individuals with a wide variety of aesthetic nose complaints. This includes: crooked nose, depressions, small bridge, sharp angles, unattractive tip, bumps, etc. By correcting these imperfections with the FDA approved dermal fillers, your nose will become smaller, more symmetric, and attractive. Juvederm™ and Radiesse™ are the fillers of choice in this case.
