Do you want to enhance the shape of your nose without surgery? If so, nose filler may be the ideal solution for you. This is a treatment that uses dermal fillers to reshape the nose and address concerns such as bumps and asymmetry while maintaining a natural look.

But, is nose filler safe? We have broken down everything you need to know, including risks, side effects, and what to expect. Read our blog to find out more!

 

What is Nose Filler?

Nose filler is a non-surgical procedure that uses dermal fillers, typically made from hyaluronic acid (HA), to enhance the natural appearance of the nose.

This is a temporary and reversible procedure, which is ideal for those looking to change the shape of their nose without having to undergo surgery.

Nose filler (sometimes referred to as non-surgical rhinoplasty) can help smooth out bumps and create a more balanced profile without the downtime of a surgical procedure.

 

What Are the Benefits of Nose Filler?

Nose filler is a non-invasive procedure that allows you to achieve your desired look without going under the knife. Here are some of the benefits it offers:

• Quick results - treatment usually takes up to 15 minutes
• Temporary results - allow you to try facial enhancements without a permanent commitment
• More affordable than surgical rhinoplasty

 

How Long Do Nose Fillers Last?

Nose fillers aren’t permanent, and they last around 12-18 months. However, this varies from person to person as everyone is different, and a range of lifestyle factors, such as metabolism, play a part in how long your filler lasts.

They last a lot longer than other types of fillers, such as lip fillers, because we don’t move our nose as much as we do our lips. We also recommend repeat treatments for optimal results and to allow your filler to last longer.

How Much Does it Cost?

The price of this treatment depends on where you go and how many ml of filler you choose. For example, at Hannah McCoy, we charge £300 for nose filler in Liverpool, £350 for full nose sculpting in London and £190 for Botox nose slimming and lifting in the Isle of Man.

 

What Are the Side Effects?

Once you have received nose filler treatment, you should expect some common, but temporary side effects which will gradually subside. Minor side effects include:

• Mild swelling at the injection site
• Redness
• Tenderness
• Slight bruising

Side effects can last from a few days to a couple of weeks.?? If you do happen to have any worries or concerns, be sure to reach out to your practitioner for expert guidance.

 

What are the Risks of Nose Fillers?

Like all treatments, nose fillers can come with risks if not administered by a qualified practitioner, which may require immediate medical attention. Some risks include:

• Infection - Although this is rare, any injection carries the risk of infection if hygienic protocols aren’t followed correctly
• Allergic reaction - Sometimes, people can be allergic to the filler material, which can cause redness, swelling and itching
• Vascular occlusion - Incorrect injection technique can cause the filler to block blood vessels, leading to tissue damage or more serious problems

This can be a very risky area to administer filler because there are multiple blood vessels in this area. If filler is injected into a blood vessel, it can block blood flow and, in rare cases, lead to complications such as tissue death or even blindness.

This is why it's so important to do your research before choosing your practitioner. At Hannah McCoy, all of our practitioners come from medical backgrounds and have excellent knowledge of facial anatomy, so you can rest assured you’re in safe hands.

 

Can Nose Filler Migrate?

Yes, nose filler can migrate if placed incorrectly; however, when administered by a professional with the proper technique and products, this risk is extremely minimal.

You will be able to tell if your filler has migrated by noticing changes such as lumps and unevenness in the treated area.

 

Does it Hurt?

Nose fillers involve injections, and the level of discomfort can vary depending on your pain threshold.

At Hannah McCoy, we use high-quality, modern fillers that contain some local anaesthetic, which helps to minimise pain during treatment. We also use a gentle technique, which makes the procedure quick and painless.

It’s our priority to make sure you feel comfortable and safe at all times.

 

So, is Nose Filler Safe?

You may be thinking to yourself, ‘Is nose filler dangerous?’ or ‘How safe is nose filler?’, and we understand your concerns.

However, although the nose is a delicate and potentially risky area to treat, nose fillers are considered safe if you do your research and go to a qualified practitioner.

When choosing your practitioner, here are some things you should ask yourself:

• Is the practitioner qualified? Make sure the practitioner holds the right certification and has the right medical credentials and training.
• Do they have positive reviews? Reviews give you an insight into what a practitioner is like. Look for before and after photos and the type of reviews they have.
• Do they work at a reputable clinic? Check for hygiene standards. A good practitioner will have the right safety protocols in place at all times.
• Do they offer consultations? A good practitioner will offer initial consultations to assess your anatomy and discuss your goals and risks before treatment.

Remember, cheaper isn’t always better. Investing more means you’re paying for premium-quality products and the expertise of a highly skilled practitioner.
