Before treating the nose with dermal filler, it is important to understand both the visible nasal structure and the underlying anatomy. Factors including bridge height, dorsal contour, tip projection, skin and soft tissue, previous procedures and overall facial proportions can influence whether treatment is appropriate.

The vascular anatomy of the nose also requires particular consideration. Product placement, injection depth and the amount of filler used must be carefully planned rather than determined solely by the aesthetic change a patient would like to achieve.

At Derma Plus Medical London, non-surgical rhinoplasty begins with clinical assessment by an experienced medical clinician. Treatment is only recommended when the anatomy, medical history and intended outcome are considered suitable for dermal filler.

In appropriately selected patients, changing relatively small areas of the nose can alter how the complete facial profile is perceived. However, the nose should be assessed in relation to surrounding facial structures rather than treated as an isolated feature.

For example, the height and contour of the nasal bridge, projection of the tip and relationship between the nose, lips and chin can all influence profile proportions. Dermal filler may be used to refine selected points where doing so creates a more appropriate relationship between these features.

When planning non-surgical rhinoplasty in London, our medical clinicians consider these proportions during assessment to determine whether changing the nasal profile with filler is likely to achieve the intended result.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty does not remove a dorsal hump. Instead, hyaluronic acid dermal filler can be strategically positioned within suitable areas above or around the prominence to alter the line of the nasal profile.

Creating a smoother transition can reduce the visual prominence of the hump when the nose is viewed from the side. This is an optical correction rather than a physical reduction in the underlying bone or cartilage.

Whether this approach is appropriate depends on the existing size, shape and projection of the nose. If disguising a dorsal hump would require an unsuitable amount of additional volume, our clinicians may advise that nose filler is not the appropriate treatment.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is an advanced dermal filler procedure because of the vascular anatomy of the nose. Alongside expected temporary effects such as swelling, tenderness, redness and bruising, there are uncommon but potentially serious complications associated with injecting this area, including vascular occlusion.

Safe treatment therefore requires appropriate patient selection, detailed anatomical knowledge, careful injection technique and the ability to recognise and respond to complications should they occur.

At Derma Plus Medical London, nose filler is carried out by experienced medical clinicians as part of a CQC-registered, medical-led aesthetics business. Relevant risks, expected outcomes and aftercare are discussed as part of the consultation and informed consent process before treatment.

Previous dermal filler can remain within facial tissues for varying periods, meaning the nose should be assessed before further product is added. The appearance of the original result reducing does not necessarily mean that all previously injected filler is no longer present.

Your clinician will consider when previous nose filler was administered, the product used where known, its placement and the current appearance of the area. In some circumstances, further filler may not be considered appropriate without addressing existing product first.

If you have previously undergone non-surgical rhinoplasty elsewhere and are considering nose filler in London at Derma Plus Medical, provide as much information as possible about your treatment history during consultation. This allows further treatment to be considered from a clinical rather than purely aesthetic perspective.
