Nose contouring is a cosmetic technique that alters the shape, slope, and asymmetry of the nose using fillers. Fillers offer a non surgical, non permanent way to improve the appearance of the nose with little to no downtime. Often changing the shape of the nose by adjustments with fillers can avoid the need for a surgical nose job.
Which Dermal Filler is Best for Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty?
Hyaluronic Acid fillers are preferred for nose contouring and nonsurgical rhinoplasty as they yield natural-looking and durable results, lasting several years. Plus, their effects can be mitigated or reversed using an enzyme known as hyaluronidase.
How Do Fillers Reshape and Contour the Nose?
Using dermal fillers for a non-surgical nose job can enhance the nose’s surface definition, making it appear more chiseled and often seeming smaller and reshaped. The size perception can change based on the shape of your nose; a flatter surface can make it appear broader, while a more defined surface can make it seem smaller.
What About the Nose’s Slope?
Many opt for surgical rhinoplasty due to dissatisfaction with the slope or curvature of their nose bridge. However, filler injections can be used to straighten the bridge, making the nose appear straighter from the side and often smaller.
Can Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Address Nose Symmetry?

Should the Nose Be Filled: Needle or Cannula?

How Long Do Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Last in the Nose?
