Nose Correction Without Surgery | Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

A nose correction with hyaluronic acid is suitable for all who want their nose corrected without undergoing surgery. There may be different reasons for this, e.g. refusing operations on principle, or being afraid of a general anaesthesia. As long as the correction is not too laborious, it can also be performed without surgery.

A nose correction with hyaluronic acid is possible e.g. for correcting a (not too pronounced) saddleback nose or long nose (“hooknose”). Also, small humps along the ridge of the nose, notches or dents at the tip of the nose, and slight asymmetries can very well be evened out by injecting hyaluronic acid. For correcting larger deformities or for changing the size of the entire nose, this treatment method is not suitable, however; in such cases, surgical methods cannot be avoided.

During a detailed personal consultation, we will first of all discuss which changes you wish for and if and how we will be able to realise them by means of a hyaluronic acid treatment.

At the day of the treatment, the nose will first be disinfected and – upon request – an anaesthetic creme will be applied locally. As soon as this takes effect, the hyaluronic acid is injected at the designated spots. This allows bolstering of small areas so that irregularities get evened out.

After the treatment, you are free to leave the Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery right away and continue your normal day-to-day activities. There is no need for special aftercare. But please make sure to follow our advice on how to support the treatment.

During the nose correction without surgery, hyaluronic acid is used. This is a substance that occurs naturally in the human body; it retains moisture and can thus enlarge the volume of the skin. That’s why it is also a popular wrinkle treatment. In the case of a nose correction, it will be applied in a focused way at designated spots in order to even out irregularities and to shape the nose.

That depends on just which kind of correction is to be performed. In most cases, the hyaluronic acid injection in the interest of nose correction will take between 5 and 20 minutes. However, please plan more time than that for consultation and answering your questions.

The hyaluronic acid will need a few days to spread in the tissue and work its effect there. Please be sure not to touch your nose during this time, not to massage it or exert any pressure so that the filler does not get shifted inadvertently. That could have a negative impact on the result.

Over time, the body will absorb the injected hyaluronic acid. This means that the result of the nose correction will lessen. When exactly this will happen depends on different parameters, such as the individual metabolism and the material used. According to the experiences gathered in our Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the result will last between 8 and 12 months for most patients. Of course, the treatment may be repeated at any time, refreshing the result. If treatments are repeated several times, the time between the sessions may be extended.

No, since very delicate syringes are used for the injections, the punctures do not hurt. Upon request, we will anaesthetise the treatment area beforehand with a locally effective creme so that you will not feel the injection practically at all.

The nose correction with hyaluronic acid is considered to be a very low-risk and well-tolerated treatment. The injection punctures may temporarily show a slight reddening, tiny bruises or swellings; but those will disappear by themselves after a short time. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the human body, so that the risk of intolerances can practically be excluded.
