Non Surgical Nose Job Dr. Jennifer Levine

A non-surgical nose job, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that uses injectable treatments to sculpt the shape of the nose without the need for invasive surgery. This innovative procedure can help correct minor imperfections, refine the nasal bridge, and create a more balanced appearance.

As a world-renowned rhinoplasty surgeon and a top 1% injector in the country, Dr. Jennifer Levine uses dermal fillers and PDO threads to enhance the nasal shape or straighten the nasal bridge without surgery. If you would like to explore the possibility of a non-surgical nose job, schedule a consultation with Dr. Levine today or call our Manhattan office at (212) 517-9400.

About Non-Surgical Nose Jobs

Dr. Levine expertly administers dermal fillers with precision and care, delivering stunning results that look natural. Fillers are injected into specific areas of the nose to enhance nasal contours, add volume, and straighten the bridge for a balanced, refined appearance. Instead of traditional surgery, which can require significant downtime and more invasive incisions, this method uses hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers to effectively contour the nose. (1)

While this procedure does not reduce nose size, it enhances symmetry and smooths irregularities for a more harmonious appearance. For example, patients can receive injections to augment or raise a flat nose bridge, reduce depressions or dents, or smooth the appearance of a hump on the bridge. Patients dissatisfied with the results of a previous surgical rhinoplasty can use fillers to refine and enhance their appearance.

Dr. Levine understands the intricacies of facial anatomy, ensuring a natural-looking result tailored to each individual’s needs. For patients who want to avoid the downtime that is required with traditional rhinoplasty, this procedure offers excellent results to make the nose look more proportional to the face. The injection is often limited to the top and sides of the nose, as opposed to the tip or base. (1)

Benefits

Opting for a non-surgical nose job offers many benefits, including:

  • Non-invasive treatment: Quick application of fillers requires no incisional surgery, leading to reduced anxiety for patients and less risk of complications.
  • Visible results: Most patients notice enhancements soon after their treatment, rather than having to wait weeks to heal as with a surgical rhinoplasty.
  • No downtime: Patients can return to their daily activities soon after receiving the injections, making it perfect for those with busy lifestyles.
  • Semi-permanent nature: If you are unsure about making permanent changes, the temporary results allow you to enhance your appearance with fewer commitments.
  • Customization: The use of injectables means that adjustments can be made during follow-up appointments based on the patient’s preferences and desired outcomes.
  • Safety and effectiveness: Especially when performed by qualified professionals like Dr. Levine, the procedure carries less risk than surgical rhinoplasty and provides stunning results.
  • Increased confidence: Patients who are more satisfied with the appearance of their nose may feel more confident in their daily lives.

Candidates

Any patient discontent with the shape and appearance of their nose can benefit from a non-surgical nose job. This treatment is particularly effective for individuals with bumps on the dorsal side of their nose, an asymmetrical nose, a flat or under-projected nose bridge, or a drooping nose appearance. (1)

Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s limitations. Additionally, those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to any of the filler materials may be advised against the treatment.

Personal Consultation

The first step in any non-surgical nose job at our practice is a personal consultation with Dr. Levine. This appointment will be your opportunity to discuss your goals and explore the various options that can help you achieve them. Once you and Dr. Levine have explored your options and decided on a path for treatment, she will develop a plan tailored to meet your goals.

Your medical history will also be reviewed at this consultation. Non-surgical nose jobs come with less risks compared to a surgical rhinoplasty, but it is important to screen your medical records for any allergies, medications, past procedures, and more. Many patients receive their first round of injections immediately after their consultation!

Preparation

Minimal preparation is required for non-surgical rhinoplasty injections. However, there are a few steps that patients can take to enhance their outcomes. For example, we recommend being fully hydrated before arriving at your appointment. Patients should also avoid any blood-thinning medications or supplements, as well as alcohol. We recommend washing your face before arriving at your appointment, but our professionals will thoroughly cleanse the area before administering injections.

Procedure

Once you and Dr. Levine have determined your ideal treatment plan, you will receive your non-surgical rhinoplasty injections immediately after your consultation. These “liquid nose job” treatments typically take only 30 minutes. Patients do not experience any breathing issues or blocked nasal cavities during these procedures. (1) Non-surgical rhinoplasty offers a streamlined approach, achieving noticeable improvements without the need for the intricate planning and recovery associated with surgery. Dr. Levine utilizes dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid (and others). These medications work in a variety of ways. Some dermal fillers may be non-reactive filler mediums that serve only to increase the mass of parts of the nose. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and promote healthy skin. (2) When injected, HA fillers add volume and shape to targeted areas by binding with water molecules in the tissue, creating a smooth and natural contour. Dr. Levine typically uses the specialized hyaluronic acid compounds Juvederm and Restylane for these kinds of treatments, but many various fillers and injections may be incorporated into your unique treatment plan.

Recovery

Non Surgical Nose Job Dr. Jennifer Levine

Because these procedures are non-surgical, recovery and downtime is minimal. Patients can receive numbing cream during their injections if necessary. After the procedure, it is normal for patients to experience some mild swelling, bruising, and soreness, which will fade naturally as the treatment settles in.

You will have a follow-up examination one week after your procedure. You should avoid sleeping on your side or your front for the first couple of nights, and it helps to keep your head elevated while reclining as well. After your appointment, you should avoid touching your nose as much as possible.

Results

You can expect to see some results from your non-surgical nose job immediately, but it may take a couple of days to see the complete results of your treatment. You can expect to see fuller results appear in about two to four weeks–after swelling and bruising subsides. After your non-surgical nose job, you can enjoy the results of a sculpted nose that is more in line with your aesthetic goals. Results from a non-surgical nose job are long-lasting but temporary; patients may see results that last for up to 6 months to over a year.
