Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty (Nose) Brisbane

Surgical rhinoplasty is an invasive procedure that permanently alters the structure of the nose through incisions and tissue manipulation. Non-surgical rhinoplasty temporarily modifies the appearance of the nose without incisions or general anaesthesia. The non-surgical option offers immediate results with minimal downtime but provides temporary results, while surgical rhinoplasty offers permanent changes but requires significant recovery time.

The duration of treatments can vary depending on several factors, including the type of product used, individual metabolism, and lifestyle. Typically, you can expect the effects to last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. As the results gradually fade, you may choose to schedule follow-up treatments to maintain your desired nasal appearance.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment. We use topical numbing cream and/or local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Some patients may experience a mild pinching sensation or pressure during the injections, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated.

While generally considered safe when performed by qualified practitioners, cosmetic nose treatments do carry some risks. These may include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness at the injection sites, and rarely, more serious complications such as vascular occlusion. During your consultation, we will thoroughly discuss all potential risks and how we work to minimise them.

Cosmetic nose treatment may not be suitable for certain individuals, including those under 18 years of age, pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with certain allergies or hypersensitivities, those with active infections at the intended injection site, people with bleeding disorders, or those who have had recent surgery in the area. A thorough consultation will help determine if you’re an appropriate candidate for the treatment.

No, this treatment cannot address all nasal concerns. They are most effective for adding volume, smoothing bumps, improving symmetry, and altering the nasal tip. They cannot reduce the size of the nose, narrow the nostrils, or correct functional issues such as breathing difficulties. During your consultation, we will discuss whether your specific concerns can be addressed or if alternative treatments might be more appropriate.

After your treatment, we will provide you with personalised aftercare instructions. Following these instructions carefully is crucial to minimise the risk of complications, promote faster healing, and achieve the best possible results. General post-treatment care may include:

• • Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or massaging the treated area unless specifically instructed to do so
• • Manage Discomfort: If you experience mild discomfort, you may take paracetamol as needed. However, it’s important to avoid any anti-inflammatory medications that can thin the blood, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 24 hours
• • Expect Temporary Swelling and Bruising: Initial bruising and swelling may occur and typically subsides within a few days. If any asymmetry persists after two weeks, it can be addressed during a follow-up appointment, which may incur additional costs
• • Rest and Avoid Certain Substances: For the first 24 hours after treatment, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous physical activity, alcohol, and caffeine
• • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: It’s best to avoid exposure to extreme heat for two weeks following the procedure. Additionally, refrain from hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms for at least 24 hours
• • Be Patient for Final Results: While results are often visible immediately, it may take up to 2 weeks for any swelling to fully subside and to appreciate the final results of the treatment
• • Minimise Pressure: Avoid wearing heavy glasses or sunglasses that put pressure on the treated area for at least 48 hours after the procedure

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you experience any unexpected symptoms or have any questions during your post-treatment period. We are here to support you throughout your healing process.

During your complimentary consultation, we will openly discuss the potential risks and complications associated with non-surgical rhinoplasty. This information empowers you to make an informed decision about whether the procedure aligns with your comfort level and expectations. We will also provide you with personalised aftercare guidance to help minimise the likelihood of any post-treatment issues. 

• • Swelling and Bruising: Some bruising and swelling at the injection site is common and usually temporary, resolving within a few days to a week
• • Infection: Although rare, there’s a small risk of infection at the injection site. Choosing a clinic with qualified and experienced practitioners helps minimise this risk
• • Allergic Reactions: While products made from substances naturally found in the body are typically well-tolerated, allergic reactions can occur. Symptoms may include redness, itching, or swelling at the injection site. If you experience these, contact the clinic immediately and seek medical attention if necessary
• • Asymmetry or Irregularities: In some cases, the product distribution may result in slight asymmetry or unevenness, which can usually be addressed during a follow-up appointment
• • Vascular Complications: Although rare, the treatment can inadvertently enter a blood vessel, leading to potential complications. Choosing an experienced practitioner with a thorough understanding of facial anatomy helps minimise this risk
• • Bumps or Nodules: In rare instances, small bumps or nodules may form at the injection site
• • Migration: Over time, there’s a slight possibility that the product may shift from its intended location. This can sometimes be corrected with additional treatment

Understanding these potential risks allows you to make a well-informed decision about whether Non-surgical rhinoplasty treatment is the right choice for you.
