Quick answer
Non-surgical rhinoplasty (nose filler) is the application of hyaluronic acid to the nose to support a drooping tip and disguise the hump, with no surgery. It does not make the nose smaller, because filler always adds volume. It is indicated for mild to moderate adjustments to the shape of the nose, and surgical cases I refer. The result is temporary, and how long it lasts varies from person to person.
A patient came in with a question I hear a lot: I have had a droopy nose my whole life, is there anything that can improve it without surgery? In many cases, there is. Nose filler is the application of hyaluronic acid to the nose, at carefully chosen points, to support the tip and disguise the hump.
At the consultation, I look at your nose from the front and in profile, together with the lip and the chin. When the tip droops, I work on the support so that it sits higher. When there is a hump, filler above and below it makes the bridge look straighter. The nose does not get smaller, because filler always adds volume, but the shape of the profile changes.
The nose is a delicate area, with important blood vessels, which is why I am careful about the indication and the amount. Some noses are not for filler: when the concern is to make the nose smaller, the indication is surgical, and I refer you. For those who are indicated, what I am after is to restore self-esteem and reclaim identity, so you can recognize yourself in the mirror again with ease.

Cases published on my Instagram. Disclosure follows Brazilian Federal Council of Dentistry (CFO) Resolution 196/2019. Results vary from person to person and depend on individual evaluation.
After a nose filler, swelling, bruising, tenderness and temporary asymmetry can occur. The nose is an area of higher vascular risk, because it has vessels that connect with the circulation of the eye area. Complications such as loss of blood supply to the skin of the nose and changes in vision are rare, but serious, and require immediate recognition and treatment. That is why the application must be performed by a qualified practitioner with knowledge of anatomy. When necessary, hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Let me know beforehand about pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies, medical conditions, previous nose surgery and any medication you take regularly. Results vary from person to person, and the indication comes out of the consultation.
No. Filler always adds volume, so it does not reduce the size of the nose. What it does is change the shape: it supports the tip and disguises the hump, and with that the profile can look more harmonious. When the concern is to make it smaller, the indication is surgery, and I refer you.
The result is temporary, because hyaluronic acid is gradually absorbed by the body. There is no single number: how long it lasts varies with the product and with each person, and there are reports in the literature of a longer-lasting effect in the nose than in other areas. At the consultation, I explain what to expect in your case.
Every filler carries risks, and the nose is one of the areas that demand the most care, because it has vessels that connect with the circulation of the eyes. Vascular complications are rare, but they are serious and need to be recognized and treated right away. That is why the application must be performed by a qualified practitioner with knowledge of anatomy. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with hyaluronidase when necessary.
Rhinoplasty is surgery, which changes the bone and cartilage structure of the nose. A nose filler is an injectable, with no incisions, with a temporary result and limits to its indication. I do the nose filler, and when your case is surgical I explain why and refer you.
