Non-surgical treatments have been a very popular solution for Australians who want to achieve the look that they want. In fact, according to research by the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia, there has been an increasing number of Australians, particularly women and men living in major cities such as Brisbane, are considering such treatments.

Now, one of the procedures that most of these individuals get is nose filler, along with anti-wrinkle injections, microdermabrasion, and hair removal. The reason for this is that you do not have to go under the knife to get the desired results.  

Formally known as “non-surgical rhinoplasty”, nose filler is a dermal filler procedure performed by a certified surgeon to change the shape of your nose to achieve the desired shape. Basically, it is done for people who want to try a new look but are not ready for a permanent solution, such as traditional rhinoplasty.

This procedure works by inserting a gel-like injectable or Botox underneath the skin of your nose where you wish to create a smoother volume and better shape. The filler will settle into the nose’s deeper skin layer, holding its form. Depending on your skin and the ingredient used, the results can last from 4 months to 3 years.

Now, you might have also heard the word “thread lift”. So, what is the difference between these two?

As the name suggests, a nose thread lift Brisbane surgeons offer is also a non-surgical procedure performed using polydioxanone (PDO) threads that can just be absorbed by the body. The threads are placed under the skin along the nasal bridge to stimulate collagen information in the area and create a sustainable lift for the nose. Also known as “lunchtime nose job”, it can be completed in just less than an hour.

Like nose filler, the results you get from a nose thread are also temporary. However, both are used to augment your nose to the desired shape. The only difference is the way they are done and the materials used.

The procedure for nose filler is quite simpler compared to traditional rhinoplasty. During the treatment, your surgeon would ask you to lie down with your face tilted up and then apply a topical anaesthetic to your nose. When the anaesthetic takes effect, your surgeon will inject the filler into the target area of your nose to achieve the desired shape.

You might feel slight pressure or pinching while the procedure is done, but the whole process will just take 15 to 45 minutes.

Within an hour or two after the procedure, you would notice the injection starting to settle down and the redness beginning to go away. During this time, you will start to see clearly the desired results. However, the full results will be visible from one to two weeks.

  

With regards to downtime, most people who had undergone this procedure attest that there is practically no recovery time. So, you can get back to your normal activities the same day.

Normally, you will experience redness and sensitivity in the area where the filler was injected right after non-surgical rhinoplasty. However, there are also other side-effects the procedure may bring, such as:

● Bruising

● Swelling

● Nausea

● Filler migration

Like when you are scheduled for Brisbane lip fillers, there are also things that you should do on your part to ensure the procedure will run as smoothly as possible. Here are some tips to help prepare yourself before the treatment:

● Avoid taking aspirin, vitamin E supplements, and other blood-thinning medications a week before the procedure, as it could make the treatment complicated.

● Boost your vitamin K levels weeks before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising.

● Eat a meal and drink enough water before you go to the clinic, but do not overeat because you may experience nausea during and after the procedure.

Like any other type of surgery, being prepared ensures the procedure will go on without a hitch.

Like the lip filler Brisbane surgical clinics offer, a nose filler can be expensive. However, the price will depend on your circumstance and expectations. It will also depend on the type and amount of filler used, as well as the surgeon’s fee. The average cost of this procedure can run from $500 to $1,100.

To know exactly how much you are going to pay for your treatment, you should request a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation.

When looking for surgeons to perform a nose filler procedure, it is best to consider the qualification and experience they have. This way, you can assure yourself that you are getting the results you truly desire while minimising the risk of having side effects.

On a similar note, do not settle for the cheapest surgeon you find during your search. When it comes to beauty, you would not want to compromise quality over price, after all.
