What Is a Non-Surgical Nose Job?

Noses are often very personal, with representations of ethnicity or heritage built in. At CabinMD, we celebrate the beauty in every nose but understand that certain features might leave you feeling more insecure or self-conscious than empowered. That’s why we offer non-surgical nose jobs to refine what you don’t love while preserving everything that makes your nose as wonderful as you.

 

What Is A Non-Surgical Nose Job?

A non-surgical nose job is a quick way to improve the look of your nose using dermal fillers. Instead of going under the knife, you can get subtle but noticeable changes with just a few well-placed injections. It’s perfect for making small tweaks, like:

  • Smoothing out bumps or unevenness along the bridge.
  • Lifting a droopy tip for a more refined look.
  • Adding definition to a flat or low nasal bridge.
  • Correcting minor asymmetry and creating better harmony with other features.

How Does It Work?

For non-surgical rhinoplasty, Dr. Cabin uses Juvéderm and Restylane—hyaluronic acid-based fillers known for their safety, versatility, and natural-looking results—to make precise adjustments to the nose’s shape and contour. These soft, gel-like injectables can add volume or smoothness to targeted areas, allowing for modest but effective changes without the need for surgery. For example, fillers can be added above and below a bump on the bridge to create the look of a level nose, and a low or flat bridge can be defined by carefully adding height. Dr. Cabin will collaborate with you to carefully tailor the changes to complement the unique proportions of your face. Together, you’ll create a balanced, symmetrical, and natural look you love.

 

What Are The Benefits Of A Non-Surgical Nose Job?

A non-surgical nose job comes with plenty of perks, especially if you’re looking for a low-commitment way to fine-tune your nose. The treatment is quick and simple, giving you control over how you refine your look. Here’s why so many people love it:

  • Minimal downtime: Since it’s a quick injection and not surgery, you can head right back to your normal routine after your appointment—no need to worry about remembering to change bandages or take post-treatment medications. 
  • Less risk: Another benefit of a non-surgical cosmetic procedure is that there are fewer risks, no anesthesia, and no scarring. Any side effects, like tenderness or bruising, are rare and usually resolve in a few days. 
  • Immediate results: You’ll leave your appointment with a fresh sense of confidence because you don’t have to wait for swelling to go down—changes are visible as soon as the fillers are placed. 
  • Temporary but long-lasting results:  Though your body will naturally break down the fillers over time, your new look can last up to one year or longer. This gives you the freedom to enjoy your results for the long term or tailor your look as your preferences evolve.
  • Customizable over time: With this temporary treatment, you have the flexibility to make small alterations every so often. Dr. Cabin can even dissolve the filler for you instead of waiting for the body to break it down!
  • Budget-friendly: Non-surgical nose jobs offer a money-saving way to achieve subtle, beautiful changes without the higher price tag of surgery.
  • Perfect for minor adjustments: Surgery can feel like overkill when you only need a little modification. A non-surgical option makes it easy to get unobtrusive yet impactful improvements without the commitment or recovery of a surgical rhinoplasty.

Should You Get A Surgical Or Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

If both a non-surgical and surgical rhinoplasty have caught your attention, here are a few things to consider when deciding which option might be right for you:

  • Do you need quick results, or do you have time for recovery?: Surgical rhinoplasty requires more planning—you’ll need to take time off work, arrange a ride home, and give yourself time to heal. If that’s not possible for you at the moment, a non-surgical rhinoplasty might be a better option, as it takes less than an hour and lets you get back to your routine immediately.
  • Are regular sessions okay, or do you need something permanent?: A non-surgical rhinoplasty provides instant gratification that you have to upkeep with consistent appointments, while surgery offers lifelong results that don’t require maintenance.
  • Do you have breathing issues or functional concerns?: Surgery can address structural problems, such as a deviated septum, that affect how you breathe, but a non-surgical rhinoplasty is purely cosmetic.
  • Are you looking for light changes or a dramatic transformation?: For surface-level adjustments, non-surgical rhinoplasty works beautifully. Surgery is better suited for making major changes, like reducing the size of the nose.
  • Are you still experimenting with your perfect look, or do you already know what you want?: A non-surgical nose job is ideal if you’re still exploring what nose works best with your features, as the fillers used are dissolvable, and the results are temporary. On the other hand, if you’re confident in the changes you want, surgical rhinoplasty provides a permanent solution that brings your vision to life.
  • Is your nose crooked or have certain irregularities from the front?: A non-surgical nose job works well for certain changes to the profile only. But for most changes from the front, a surgical rhinoplasty is required.
