Are non-surgical nose reshaping treatments safe?
Cosmetic nasal treatments should always be performed by qualified and experienced medical professionals. It is important to carefully choose a provider who prioritises thorough consultation, safety, and personalised treatment plans.
At Contour Clinics, our cosmetic doctors have extensive experience in performing nasal enhancement treatments and provide educational training to medical professionals. During your personalised consultation, they will comprehensively discuss your individual suitability, potential outcomes, associated risks, and expected benefits of treatment.
What are the risks of non-surgical nose reshaping?
Non-surgical nose reshaping is a minimally invasive option for subtle nasal refinements, but like all cosmetic procedures, it comes with potential risks that vary by individual factors such as your anatomy, medical history, and previous treatments. At Contour Clinics, we prioritize safety by discussing these in detail during your consultation to help you make an informed decision—results differ from person to person, and not everyone is suitable.
Common side effects include mild bruising, tenderness, or swelling, which are usually short-lived, easily concealed with makeup, and resolve within a few days. To support recovery, options like LED light therapy may be suggested post-procedure to potentially aid in reducing these effects, though effectiveness can vary.
Although rare, a key concern is the possibility of affecting the nasal blood supply, known as vascular compromise, which could lead to complications like skin necrosis (tissue damage) or, in extreme cases, vision issues. This risk may be higher if you’ve had prior nose surgery, as it can alter normal blood flow and anatomy. Other uncommon risks include infection, redness, hematoma (blood collection), cysts, asymmetry, or allergic reactions.
Serious complications are very uncommon when performed by qualified professionals, but they’re important to consider. Your cosmetic physician will review risks specific to you at your complimentary consultation, ensuring the approach aligns with your health and goals.
Can nose reshaping treatments cause headaches?
Occasionally, you may experience a headache after non-surgical nose treatments. This may be due to nose swelling and tenderness and usually goes away within a few hours.
Headaches that become severe or do not go away require assessment by a medical professional. Please call us to discuss with your Contour Clinics cosmetic doctor.
Are non-surgical nose reshaping treatments permanent?
At Contour Clinics, all nasal cosmetic procedures are performed by qualified medical professionals who use carefully selected temporary materials compatible with your body’s natural structure.
Your suitability for treatment, including any potential risks and benefits, will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation. Permanent materials are not recommended for nasal cosmetic enhancement, and all available options and their associated risks will be clearly explained by your medical professional.
No guarantee of specific outcomes or results can be provided.
What is the aftercare after my non-surgical nose reshaping?
After non-surgical nasal treatments at Contour Clinics, the recovery process and associated experiences vary individually. While many individuals may resume normal daily activities shortly after treatment, mild side effects such as redness, tenderness, or swelling can occur.
Detailed aftercare guidelines, including recommendations about activity levels and managing potential side effects, will be provided clearly during your personalised consultation.
All treatments carry potential risks, including bruising or swelling, which will be discussed thoroughly by your medical professional prior to treatment.
