What is nose correction?
Nose correction is a non-surgical treatment designed to address subtle nasal imperfections such as bumps, humps, asymmetries, and a drooping tip using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
This minimally invasive approach offers immediate results with minimal downtime, making it an attractive alternative to surgical rhinoplasty.

Dorsal Humps & Nasal Bumps
A dorsal hump is a visible bump along the bridge of the nose, often caused by genetics or previous injury. Dermal fillers can smooth the profile by adding volume above and below the hump, creating a straighter, more balanced nasal bridge without surgery.
Uneven Bridges
An uneven nasal bridge features multiple dips, curves, or waviness that disrupt the smooth line from forehead to tip. Dermal fillers placed strategically along the bridge can correct these irregularities, resulting in a more refined and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Drooping Tips
A drooping nasal tip can make the nose appear longer or aged, often resulting from natural ageing or weakened cartilage. Dermal filler placed at the columella base can provide a subtle lift, creating a more youthful and defined tip.
Asymmetries
Nasal asymmetry occurs when one side of the nose differs from the other, caused by genetics, injury, or the uneven development of cartilage. Fillers can improve symmetry and facial harmony by adding volume to specific areas.

Frequently asked questions about types of nose imperfections & nose correction treatments
What causes nasal imperfections and deformities?
Nasal imperfections can stem from various causes, with non-surgical treatments focused on correction and aesthetic enhancement.
The most common causes include genetic factors, which determine the natural shape, size, and contour of the nose from birth. This can result in dorsal humps, wide bridges, or asymmetries that are hereditary.
Previous trauma from accidents or injuries can create bumps, deviations, or irregular contours. Natural ageing also plays a role as skin loses elasticity and cartilage weakens, leading to tip drooping and changes in nasal definition.
In some cases, previous surgical procedures may result in minor irregularities that can benefit from refinement.
Understanding these causes is crucial as it guides the development of targeted treatments using hyaluronic acid fillers to refine nasal contours, correct specific imperfections, and enhance overall facial harmony. Contact our team to schedule a consultation.
What is nose filler (liquid rhinoplasty)?
Nose filler, commonly known as liquid rhinoplasty or non-surgical rhinoplasty, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to reshape and refine the nose without surgery.
This technique involves strategically injecting small amounts of filler to smooth bumps, correct asymmetries, lift drooping tips, and enhance overall nasal contours. The hyaluronic acid integrates seamlessly with the skin’s natural structure, providing immediate volume and definition while maintaining a natural appearance.
Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, nose filler requires no incisions, general anaesthesia, or extended recovery time. Results are visible immediately and typically last up to 18 months, making it an ideal option for patients seeking subtle improvements or those wanting to preview potential surgical outcomes before committing to permanent changes.

How long does nose correction with dermal filler last?
Nose correction with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers typically lasts between 12 and 18 months. The longevity depends on factors such as metabolism, lifestyle choices, the amount of product used, and individual skin characteristics.
The nose area tends to retain filler longer than other facial regions due to minimal muscle movement. Discussing the timing of follow-up treatments with your aesthetic specialist is important to maintain your desired results and nasal contour over time.
What’s the difference: Nose correction (liquid rhinoplasty) vs nose job (rhinoplasty surgery)
Nose correction, or liquid rhinoplasty, is a non-surgical procedure using dermal fillers to refine and enhance nasal contours by adding volume to specific areas. It’s ideal for correcting minor imperfections, such as bumps, asymmetries, and drooping tips, with immediate results and minimal downtime.
Rhinoplasty nose surgery, or a traditional nose job, involves surgical reshaping of the nasal structure through incisions, bone and cartilage modification, and the removal of tissue. It can address more significant structural changes and reductions in size, but requires general anaesthesia, a longer recovery time, and provides permanent results.
The key difference is that liquid rhinoplasty adds volume to smooth and balance imperfections, while surgical rhinoplasty can both add and remove tissue to fundamentally alter nasal structure. Your aesthetic specialist can help determine which approach best suits your concerns and aesthetic goals.
Is nose correction safe?
Nose correction, when performed by a qualified and experienced professional using approved dermal fillers, is generally considered safe. These treatments are well-documented for their safety when administered by an experienced specialist.
However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including bruising, swelling, asymmetry, and temporary tenderness. It’s crucial to discuss these risks with your aesthetic specialist and ensure you follow all pre- and post-treatment protocols.
