Non-Surgical Nose Jobs

A new and popular form of nose job has been developed that does not require invasive surgery. It has been called, “the fifteen minute nose job”, and it really works.

As the name suggests, a nose job is basically the reshaping of the nose. When a major abnormality exists, or a major reduction in size is what is wanted, surgery is necessary. However, many patients are looking for some minor reshaping. This often involves bumps or irregularities on the surface of the nose. These can now be treated in simple non-surgical procedures using certain injectables such as Botox, Restylane, or Radiesse. These materials can be used to provide nasal reshaping and smoothing that can be done quickly and requires little or no recovery time.

The procedure can be performed in a single visit. The doctor simply injects filler into the soft tissue of the nose in the area that is being reshaped. Any minor bulges and bumps disappear and the nose is left smooth and straight. It is possible through this procedure to have a contoured and shapely nose that does much to improve your appearance and also your self confidence. This can all be accomplished in a mere fifteen minute doctor visit.

The major concern with the use of filler to reshape the nose is the idea that the nose will be larger. Many people fear this and think of the procedure as much like breast implants. The idea is that with the nose, larger is not better. However, this is not the case. The nose is made straighter and smoother and the overall effect is not an increase in size.

A surgical nose job involves incisions and often even the breaking of nasal bones to achieve the desired result. Non-surgical nose jobs avoid this and very little recovery time is needed after the procedure. In some cases, slight swelling occurs for a few days after the procedure. The other important consideration is cost. Normally, non-surgical procedures will cost one tenth as much as a surgical procedure. Since Medical Insurance does not usually cover a nose job for cosmetic purposes, this is a very important fact.

It is important to remember that major nasal reconstruction and size reduction can not be accomplished without surgery. Non-surgical nose jobs are for minor issues. You should be aware of it as an option, however, and discuss the possibility of a non-surgical procedure with your surgeon. Although the common term, 15 minute nose job, may seem to indicate a quack and ineffective procedure, this is not true. It is a viable alternative for minor conditions.
