Introduction to Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Your nose defines your face. It is the most prominent facial feature and, depending on its position and size affects the perception of your other features. This is why so many patients may feel insecure about their noses. We have high standards for our unique faces, and a disproportionately sized nose affects more than our facial harmony.
However, you may not feel comfortable opting for surgical intervention with rhinoplasty just yet. This is why so many patients will come to Raj Dedhia MD Facial Plastic Surgery in San Francisco, CA, to receive non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures. With his keen eye and expertise, Dr. Dedhia can help you achieve natural results without the commitment of a permanent change.
What is a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
A non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure uses dermal fillers to gently enhance and contour the nose to achieve a temporary shape or size. This procedure is best suited for correcting minor irregularities such as bump tips or improving volume in the nose. The dermal fillers eventually dissolve, allowing a patient to comfortably “try on” a new nose without committing to drastic changes.
One caveat of the non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure is that it cannot help make noses smaller. To better understand your unique nose’s options, please schedule a consultation at Raj Dedhia MD Facial Plastic Surgery in San Francisco, CA.

What’s the first step?
If you are a prospective patient in the San Francisco area interested in exploring a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure, please contact Raj Dedhia, MD of Facial Plastic Surgery. Dr. Dedhia will personally meet with you to examine your nose and facial proportions. He will ask you questions regarding your medical history, address any questions or concerns you might have, and outline his approach to correcting and reshaping your nose with dermal fillers. He will also recommend dermal fillers that will be best suited for your nose and aesthetic goals.
You will be given the option of undergoing photography, morphing, and reviewing “Before” and “After” photos of previous patients to understand what is and isn’t possible for your nose. Should you want to proceed with a non-surgical rhinoplasty, Dr. Dedhia will develop a customized procedure plan. Our patient coordinator will then schedule an appointment for your non-surgical rhinoplasty at a later date and time.
What to Expect on the Day of a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Treatment
On the day of your non-surgical rhinoplasty treatment at Raj Dedhia MD Facial Plastic Surgery in San Francisco, our staff will warmly greet you and take you to your treatment area. Our staff will clean and prep your face for your procedure, and Dr. Dedhia will meet with you once more to review the treatment plan for your injections. When you are ready, Dr. Dedhia will strategically mark the injection sites on your face. If you prefer, you may request local anesthesia, or we can apply a topical numbing gel to help you feel as comfortable as possible.
Dr. Dedhia will then use a thin syringe to carefully inject your chosen dermal filler into the targeted injection sites on your face. After every injection, he will carefully massage the filler to disperse it evenly in the area. This will be a gradual process to ensure you reach the desired results.
When the procedure is complete, your skin will be cleansed of any remaining filler residue, and you will be given an ice pack to soothe any swelling or discomfort. Then, you can proudly show off your new nose the same day!
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Recovery
The recovery process for a non-surgical rhinoplasty will vary based on the type of filler chosen and the patient’s individual health. In general, most people will be able to resume their normal activities right after the procedure. However, Dr. Dedhia recommends avoiding intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to reduce bruising and swelling. The nose and surrounding tissue may feel sore, but this side effect is normal and temporary. Most patients regain full softness in the area within 7-10 days.
