A nose job without surgery, also known as an injection rhinoplasty, non-surgical rhinoplasty or a “15-minute nose job” is an excellent solution for those patients who are scared about rhinoplasty surgery and its cost or are doubtful about the surgical outcome. A nose job without surgery is painless, scarless and reversible in case the patient is not satisfied with the results. It allows patients to obtain quick results with little or no healing time.

Of course non-surgical rhinoplasty has some disadvantages in comparison with the traditional nose job since it cannot actually reduce the size of a large nose. However the creation of symmetry or smoothing out of contour irregularities can give the nose a smaller look. Furthermore, injection rhinoplasty can be a great alternative to surgical revision rhinoplasty for patients dissatisfied with the results of primary rhinoplasty.

Anyone with a mild to moderate nasal hump or a drooping nasal tip who does not want to change the size of their nose is a candidate for injection rhinoplasty.

The non-surgical nose job is a great option for Asian clients who have a flattened nasal bridge and/or a broad, poorly defined nasal tip and dorsum. The procedure does not result in a “Caucasian” appearing nose since the fundamental structure of the client’s nose is not being altered.

A non-surgical rhinoplasty is also recommended for teenagers who are concerned about a cosmetic nasal irregularity since it is a temporary procedure and does not permanently alter the normal anatomy (teenagers are still growing and cosmetic surgery of any kind is really not recommended for this age group).

For further questions, please schedule a free consultation with a board-certified Los Angeles plastic surgeon Dr. Armen Vartany.
