Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS NON-SURGICAL RHINOPLASTY?

Volumising product is used to ‘conceal’ a dorsal hump, found on the bridge of the nose and often more visible on one’s side profile, and elevated the nose tip. The combination of concealing the dorsal hump and elevating the tip of the nose, will provide a much more well-defined front view of the nose, provide a smoother side profile. In addition, some patients will experience the tip of their nose dropping when they smile – this treatment can provide a more ‘lifted’ effected and decrease the nose from dropping down upon expression.

WHAT TYPE OF PRODUCTS ARE USED?

There are a range of products, that contain different consistencies which are often broken down into three main categories: –

  • Thin products – designed to last 3-6 months
  • Mid-range products – designed to last 9-12 months
  • Semi-permanent products – designed to last 18-24 months

These products are made from complex sugar molecules that naturally occur in your body and bind with water to support your skin and increase volume.

At Bella Plastic Surgery, we use only the highest quality products to achieve long-lasting results.

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

Your improved nasal contour will typically last for 18 to 24 months.
