A Guide to Nose Fillers in London

Nose fillers in London have become an increasingly popular cosmetic treatment in recent years for reshaping and contouring the nose. If you’re considering getting nose fillers, here is a guide to everything you need to know.

What are Nose Fillers?

Nose fillers, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty, are injectable dermal fillers that can be used to change the shape and size of the nose without surgery. The most common fillers used are hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane. These are injected into specific areas of the nose to alter its contours. 

Some of the effects that can be achieved with nose fillers include:

• Raising the bridge of the nose

• Making a flat or rounded nasal tip more defined 

• Smoothing out a bump or uneven areas

• Correcting nasal asymmetry

• Improving the overall proportion and balance of the nose
  

Nose fillers provide an affordable, non-invasive way to enhance the nose temporarily. Results can last 6-12 months before further injections are needed to maintain the effect.

The Nose Filler Procedure

Nose filler procedures are carried out as an outpatient appointment and take 30-60 minutes to complete. The process involves:

• Numbing cream applied to the nose for comfort   

• The filler is injected with a fine needle into precise locations around the nasal region

• The effects are seen immediately and some minor swelling/redness may occur post-treatment

• Arnica cream and painkillers can help manage swelling and tenderness afterwards
  

You’ll be able to return to normal activities right away. Some minor bruising around the nose can occur which settles within a few days.

Choosing a Practitioner

It's important to choose an experienced medical aesthetic practitioner like Hampstead Aesthetics to perform your nose filler injections. This is a precision treatment and improper technique risks uneven results or filler clumping. 

Check your chosen London clinic has several years of experience with nose fillers. Look at before and after photos and reviews. Make sure the practitioner is fully trained and qualified in advanced filler techniques. 

Aftercare and Results

Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area for 24 hours post-treatment. Sleep on your back with your head elevated to reduce swelling. Cold compresses can also help.

You’ll see the instant effect from your nose fillers. However, it can take 2-3 weeks for any swelling to fully settle, revealing your final enhanced nose shape. Results typically last 6-12 months.

Are there Any Risks or Side Effects?

As with any cosmetic injectable treatment, there are some possible side effects and risks to be aware of with nose fillers. Some common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injection sites. These usually resolve within a few days. More rarely, the filler material can be felt under the skin if too much is injected in one area. 

Over time, the filler can also migrate slightly which may impact results. There is a small risk of infection anytime a needle punctures the skin. Make sure to choose an expert injector who understands nasal anatomy thoroughly.

Discuss your medical history to assess risks.
