A non-surgical nose job, also known as a liquid nose job, is a quick and effective way to reshape the nose without surgery. Using small amounts of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, this treatment can lift the nasal bridge, smooth out bumps, and improve overall symmetry with no stitches, no general anaesthetic, and very little downtime.
But how long do the results last? And is there anything you can do to maintain them?
At HAVA Aesthetics in Esher, Surrey, Dr Hadeel Nimaa leads every treatment with expert care, tailoring each plan to your goals and facial structure. Here’s everything you need to know about longevity, recovery time, and when to return for a top-up.
How Long Do Results Last?
In most cases, results from a non-surgical rhinoplasty last between 12 to 18 months. This can vary slightly depending on your metabolism, how your body breaks down the hyaluronic acid, and how much product was used in the treatment.
Because the nose does not move as much as areas like the lips or cheeks, the filler tends to last longer than in more mobile areas of the face.
What Factors Can Affect Longevity?
A few different things can influence how long your results last:
- Your metabolism – faster metabolic rates break down filler more quickly
- The type of dermal filler used – some formulations are designed to last longer
- The volume injected – smaller corrections may not last as long as larger reshaping
- Lifestyle factors – stress, poor sleep, and certain medications may affect longevity
At your consultation, Dr Hadeel Nimaa will assess your facial structure and advise you on how long your personal results are likely to last.
Can You Get a Top-Up?
Yes. Many patients choose to return for a top-up at around the 12-month mark to maintain their desired nose shape. Regular assessments can also help ensure the nose filler is integrating well and that results remain natural-looking over time.
A top-up session is often quicker than your initial appointment and uses less product, since the foundation has already been created.
What to Expect After Treatment
Following a liquid nose job, most patients see results immediately, even if the treatment is performed to correct a misshapen nose. However, a few things to note:
- You may experience initial swelling, especially around the nasal bridge
- Mild bruising or tenderness can occur at the injection points
- Final results are usually visible once swelling settles within 7 to 10 days
Because the procedure is non-surgical, the recovery time is minimal. You can return to your day shortly after your appointment, although we recommend avoiding exercise, heat, and facial treatments for the first 24 hours.
Are There Any Side Effects?
As with any injectable treatment, there are potential side effects. These are usually mild and short-lived but can include:
- Redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site
- Tenderness when touching the treated area
- In rare cases, complications such as vascular occlusion
Choosing a highly experienced practitioner is key to ensuring safe and effective outcomes. At HAVA Aesthetics, all procedures are performed by Dr Hadeel Nimaa, who has extensive training in facial aesthetics and advanced dermal filler techniques.
How to Maintain Your Results
To prolong your results after a non-surgical nose job, consider the following:
- Avoid excessive facial massage or pressure on the nose
- Use SPF to protect the skin and support skin quality
- Keep hydrated and support your body’s natural collagen function
- Book in for review appointments to assess if a top-up is needed
Every patient’s skin and facial structure are different. A personalised plan ensures that your results stay balanced and in harmony with your natural features.
