Nose Fillers

Nose fillers work by strategically adding volume and contour to specific areas of the nose through precise injections of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal fillers. This non-surgical approach enhances nasal shape, corrects minor imperfections, and creates a more proportionate and balanced profile—all without the need for invasive surgery.

The success of non-surgical rhinoplasty relies on the skill and precision of the injector. The procedure involves:

• Consultation and assessment — a thorough evaluation of the patient’s facial anatomy and desired outcome helps determine the most suitable filler type and injection sites.
• Preparation — a topical numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort. Some HA fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, to enhance comfort during the procedure.
• Precise injection — using either a fine needle or a blunt-tip cannula, the filler is carefully injected into targeted areas of the nose. Common techniques include:
  • Linear threading — the filler is injected in a straight line along the nasal bridge for height and definition.
  • Droplet technique — small, precise filler deposits refine the nasal tip.
• Sculpting & moulding — once injected, the filler is gently massaged and moulded to ensure an even and natural shape.
• Final review — the patient and practitioner assess the results, and minor adjustments can be made if needed.

The longevity of nose fillers depends on factors such as the type of filler used, metabolism, and lifestyle. On average:

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers — 9 to 12 months
• Non-HA Fillers — 12 to 18 months (less commonly used)

As the body gradually metabolises the filler, follow-up treatments may be required to maintain results. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible, which means that they allow for adjustments if needed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.

Nose fillers provide a non-surgical, customisable solution for refining the shape and symmetry of the nose with minimal downtime. This treatment is ideal for those looking to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing nose without the risks or recovery time associated with surgery. Key benefits of nose fillers:

• Enhances nose bridge height — ideal for individuals with a flatter nose bridge, fillers add definition and structure for a more contoured look.
• Smooths out bumps and irregularities — softens dorsal humps or uneven contours, which helps create a straighter and more symmetrical nasal profile.
• Lifts and refines the nose tip — provides subtle elevation and definition, especially beneficial for noses with a slightly drooping tip.
• Corrects minor asymmetries — balances out uneven nasal features for a more harmonious facial appearance.
• Quick and minimally invasive — the procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, with no downtime, so it allows patients to resume normal daily activities immediately.
• Reversible and adjustable — hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if adjustments are needed.
• Customisable to individual preferences — tailored to each person’s facial structure and aesthetic goals for natural-looking results.
• No surgical risks or long recovery — unlike traditional rhinoplasty, nose fillers avoid incisions, anaesthesia, and prolonged healing periods.
• Immediate results — visible improvements right after the procedure, with optimal results settling within a few days.

At Cove Aesthetic Clinic, we use nose fillers to enhance facial harmony by addressing common nasal concerns without surgery. This minimally invasive treatment allows for precise contouring and correction of imperfections, helping individuals achieve a more balanced and symmetrical nose shape. Concerns that nose fillers can correct:

• Dorsal humps — fillers smooth out bumps on the bridge of the nose, helping create a straighter profile.
• Flat or low nasal bridge — adding volume enhances definition and structure for a more contoured look.
• Drooping nasal tip — fillers lift and refine the tip, improving projection and definition.
• Minor asymmetries — precise filler placement balances uneven areas for a more symmetrical appearance.
• Post-surgical irregularities — fillers can refine minor imperfections following rhinoplasty.
• Slight depressions or indentations — softens hollows and uneven contours for a smoother shape.

Each nose filler treatment is carefully developed according to the individual’s unique facial features and aesthetic goals to ensure natural-looking results that complement their overall appearance.

At Cove Aesthetic Clinic, we recommend nose fillers for individuals seeking a non-surgical solution to enhance their nasal contours with minimal downtime. This treatment is ideal for those looking to refine their nose shape without committing to permanent surgical alterations. You may be a good candidate for nose fillers if you:

• Want to enhance your nose shape without surgery — nose fillers provide a temporary yet effective way to improve nasal contours without incisions or a lengthy recovery period.
• Wish to correct minor bumps or asymmetries — fillers help smooth out small dorsal humps and balance uneven areas for a more symmetrical appearance.
• Have mild post-surgical irregularities — if you have had rhinoplasty but still notice minor imperfections, fillers can refine the shape and improve symmetry.
• Prefer a reversible and adjustable option — unlike surgical rhinoplasty, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if necessary, allowing for modifications or a return to your original nose shape.
• Are in good general health — candidates should have no active infections, allergies to dermal fillers, or underlying medical conditions that could interfere with treatment.

Individuals seeking significant nose size reduction or structural changes (surgical rhinoplasty is more suitable).

• Those with severe nasal asymmetry or functional breathing issues.
• People with a history of vascular complications or certain medical conditions affecting healing and circulation.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, as dermal fillers are not recommended during this period.

Before any aesthetic procedure, we will conduct a thorough consultation to assess suitability and create a personalised treatment plan that aligns with your desired results.

Nose fillers are generally safe when performed by experienced aesthetic professionals, but as with any injectable treatment, there are potential risks and side effects.

Yes, they can. Especially in high-movement areas, nose fillers can shift over time. This is why it’s important to utilise the right injection technique and the right amount of product — an experienced doctor will work at the right depth with the appropriate product amount to prevent migration. Aftercare is also crucial. In days after your procedure, do not rub your nose or sleep on your face to prevent nose filler migration.
