How Does Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty Work?
Traditional rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes the bone, cartilage and other tissues to change the appearance of the nose or improve airflow to correct breathing issues. While it can have a significant effect on your facial profile, rhinoplasty does involve incisions, the risks of general anaesthesia and downtime. Those who are hesitant to undergo surgery may prefer a less invasive approach, which is where nonsurgical rhinoplasty comes in.
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty utilises minimally invasive techniques to alter the shape of the nose without incisions or a long recovery period. Our treatment options can bring about subtle enhancements using thread lifts or other nonsurgical methods to adjust the nasal contours, smooth out prominent bumps, address asymmetry and lift a crooked or downturned tip.
The OLA Experience
Consultation
Your treatment begins with a private consultation with Dr Aleks or Dr Indi, who will evaluate your needs and expectations, perform an exam and recommend the best approach for achieving your goals. This initial meeting helps us better understand your unique concerns and gives you an opportunity to ask any questions you may have about nonsurgical rhinoplasty.

Preparation
Prior to your nonsurgical rhinoplasty, we will guide you through any steps you need to take to get ready for your procedure. This might include guidelines on avoiding certain medications that could affect your results and advice on a pre-treatment skincare routine. Our goal is to make sure that you feel confident and prepared as you approach your scheduled appointment.

Treatment
Your nonsurgical rhinoplasty will be performed in-office at our West Perth clinic by Dr Aleks or Dr Indi. Depending on the chosen technique, you can expect your appointment to take an hour or less to complete. Local anaesthesia may be used to ensure a comfortable experience. During your procedure, our providers use precise methods to subtly enhance your nasal contours and address specific concerns, such as asymmetry, a crooked tip or a prominent dorsal hump.

What Is the Average Downtime and Recovery?
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty involves little to no downtime. After your procedure, you may experience some swelling, bruising and redness in treated areas; these side effects are normal, temporary and should subside within three to five days. Most clients experience minimal disruption to their daily schedule and can resume their normal routine right away.
What Results Could Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty Achieve?
The results of nonsurgical rhinoplasty are immediate and can be subtle yet noticeable, giving the nose a more symmetrical appearance that better complements your natural features. While these changes are less dramatic than what could be achieved with traditional rhinoplasty, they can bring more balance to your facial profile.
The effects of nonsurgical rhinoplasty are temporary and last for one to three years, but this can vary depending on factors like the techniques used, your age and lifestyle. Regular follow-up treatments can prolong your results, and during your consultation, we will discuss how often you might need maintenance sessions to preserve the enhancements to your nose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Any procedure carries a risk of adverse reactions. Although our team is highly trained, potential side effects can occur, such as redness or sensitivity in the treated area. These symptoms usually only last a few days. Additional side effects may include:
- Swelling
- Infection
- Discomfort and pain
- Asymmetry
- Bruising
- Dimpling and irregularities
- Rare side effects like allergic reactions
- Results that do not meet your expectations
- Side effects specific to your chosen technique (visible threads, migration, coiling, etc.)
Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which requires general anaesthesia and a lengthy recovery period, nonsurgical rhinoplasty is a quick and minimally invasive procedure. Most patients can return to work and normal activities immediately after their appointment without significant downtime.
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty focuses on cosmetic enhancements and is not used to address breathing issues. If you have concerns about nasal function and air flow, procedures that make permanent structural changes within the nose — such as traditional rhinoplasty or septoplasty — might be more suitable for achieving your treatment goals.
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is suitable for most adults who wish to refine the appearance of the nose without surgery. However, it’s important to have realistic expectations regarding your results and understand the degree of enhancement that nonsurgical methods can provide.
Results are typically visible immediately after the procedure. You might notice enhanced nasal contours and improved facial symmetry right away, but your final results may take two to three weeks to emerge as side effects like swelling, bruising or redness subside.
Could Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty Be Right for Me?
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty techniques are becoming increasingly popular among those who are not satisfied with the appearance of their nose but don’t want to undergo extensive surgery. Minimally invasive techniques can address a variety of concerns and refine the shape or contours of the nose, but results can vary depending on your unique needs and expectations.
While nonsurgical rhinoplasty cannot provide the same dramatic and long-lasting results as traditional rhinoplasty and is not suitable for addressing major structural issues, it could be a good option for those who are looking for subtle enhancements with minimal downtime.
