Nose filler treatment, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty or liquid rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic treatment that uses dermal filler to reshape the nose without invasive surgery. It can help smooth out bumps, lift the tip of your nose, or create a more balanced facial profile using strategically placed hyaluronic acid-based fillers.

The procedure is quick and lasts around 30 minutes with little to no downtime needed. That said, there are certain aftercare instructions that you should follow to ensure that your nose filler heals correctly without any complications.

So, what is the correct nose filler aftercare process? Great questions! This blog has the answers you’re looking for, so keep reading to find out more!

 

What Is Nose Filler Aftercare?

Nose filler aftercare refers to the steps you’ll take following your treatment to support healing, reduce side effects, and help your filler settle properly. Aftercare instructions are designed specifically to protect your skin, minimise swelling or bruising, and ensure the results look their best.

 

Why Is Nose Filler Aftercare Important?

After nose filler treatment, it can take up to 14 days for your nose to fully heal. Because of this, taking care of your skin is important and will allow the filler to properly integrate, reduce the risk of complications, and help your results last longer.

Poor aftercare, on the other hand, may lead to uneven results, unnecessary swelling, or even infection, which is why it is important to follow nose filler aftercare guidelines.

 

What Are The Possible Side Effects of Nose Filler?

Although nose filler is generally a safe and low-risk treatment when performed by a qualified professional, you should expect a few short-term side effects – as with any cosmetic procedure. Common nose filler side effects may include:

• Mild redness
• Different stages of swelling as you heal
• Some bruising
• Tenderness around the injected site for approximately 48–72 hours

 

Best Practices for Nose Filler Aftercare

When caring for your nose filler post-treatment, make sure to only take advice from professionals. For a smooth healing process and to reduce harsh side effects, follow these five simple yet effective nose filler aftercare tips:

 

1) Avoid Touching or Pressuring the Area

Refrain from touching, pressing, or rubbing your nose for at least 24 to 48 hours. This gives the filler time to settle and reduces the risk of potential infection. Make sure to also avoid wearing glasses, heavy sunglasses, or sleeping on your face in the first few days, as this can interfere with how the filler sets.

 

2) Keep Your Head Upright

Keeping your head elevated helps reduce swelling and supports proper filler placement. When resting or sleeping, use an extra pillow to slightly raise your head. This said, try to avoid bending forward or lying flat for long periods during the initial recovery.

 

3) Stay Away From Intense Heat and Cold Temperatures

Extreme temperatures can affect your skin and interfere with its ability to heal. Where possible, try to avoid hot baths, steam rooms, and high-intensity workouts for at least two days. Cold weather or placing ice directly on the skin can also disrupt the filler’s position, so it's best to avoid both ends of the temperature scale.

 

4) Avoid Makeup and Active Skincare

Avoid applying makeup or active skincare products to the treated area on the day of your nose procedure. This helps to reduce the chance of irritation or infection from bacteria entering the skin. Once any redness or swelling settles, you can gently return to your usual skincare routine.

 

5) Monitor Your Nose for Unusual Symptoms

It’s normal to notice some nose swelling, but if you start to notice severe pain, persistent discolouration, or any signs of infection, contact your practitioner as soon as possible. They are trained to help you, and early detection of complications is always best to prevent more serious side effects.
