Nose Fillers Melbourne

We apply nose filler with a series of strategically placed injections of a special dermal filler. We use a topical anaesthetic to dull the injections, which cause a slight sting. Our priority is your comfort, so we work with you to ensure you are always comfortable. There is no need to be afraid of a painful procedure or recovery, but you can expect a little redness and swelling post-procedure due to the inflammation caused by introducing a substance by injection into the skin.

Results are visible immediately; however, the filler does need to settle and the slight swelling and redness to subside. The swelling will reduce and the filler settle over 1-2 weeks.

Because we look at facial features as a whole, making a prominent nose appear less prominent is not as contradictory as it might appear at first glance. By creating symmetry and modifying the angles of the nose, we can make it appear smaller in some cases, even though we are adding volume.

The strategically placed injections work to balance out facial features, lumps, bumps and ridges.

It’s important to realise that fillers by their nature add volume. It’s the strategy part of the treatment that tricks the eye. Your nose will be larger after treatment but may look smaller, symmetrical and straighter.

Each of you will have a different nose, thus how many millilitres of filler liquid are required to get the desired result will vary, sometimes considerably. You’ll need to speak directly with your cosmetic doctor in your appointment to get an accurate quote. We dispense the products by the millilitre, and each dose has a set cost.

There are risks with all medical and cosmetic procedures, especially with injections. There are risks to doing filler injections facially, particularly if the filler substance gets into the bloodstream accidentally.

Wrongful placement of injections is usually more of a problem with untrained, inexperienced practitioners.

A rare risk is a compromised blood supply when the filler gets into arteries that supply the nose or eyes. If filler gets into an artery, it can cause a blockage, which results in the affected tissue lacking needed blood supply.  Local blood supply integrity is of great importance, so having a well-trained practitioner is key. This undesirable situation can affect the nose and eyes, depending on which artery is affected.

In Australia, there has been some cases of blindness from filler.  Previous nasal surgery can increase risks. . 

Unexpected adverse reactions to the filler we use can happen, it’s not impossible to have a bad reaction to an injection. We monitor you after treatments and are available 24 hours a day if something seems to be going badly. We are all unique and can react in unexpected ways.

Because the nose is a low-movement area, dermal filler treatments last up to two years. It lasts so long because the nose hardly moves at all, which results in the filler staying put for a long time before it absorbs into the body. The lips, on the other hand, are a high-movement area, so lip filler lasts months, not years.

You will need to have the treatment repeated every 18 months to two years. The filler is a temporary augmentation, which is just how we like it. Temporary means you can go back to your regular nose naturally over time if that’s what you want.

You will see results immediately, but as the injection sites settle, you’ll see the final look over the course of about ten days. You can expect some swelling after treatments, but this will dissipate naturally as your body accepts the filler, deeming it to fit in with your body (as opposed to being a foreign substance even though it is developed in a lab).

If for some reason you aren’t happy with your new nose, we can inject a dissolving substance into the treated area. We can also modify the filler that already exists with tweaks, adding and subtracting as needed. 

You will receive post procedure directions from your prationair.  Avoid massaging  and touching the area. Massaging will dislodge the filler and may cause irregularities, especially at first. Once the product settles into your nose, you can behave normally and touch your face, blow your nose, and make faces to your heart’s content. We will instruct you on how to care for your new nose at your appointment.
