With an ever uncertain economy, more people are interested in all types of non-surgical cosmetic surgeries. Among men at least, rhinoplasty is the leading invasive procedure.
Unknown to most people, if you only need correction on the outside of the nose, a permanent non-surgical rhinoplasty may be right for you. The only catch is, most cosmetic plastic surgeons use fillers like Juvederm or Radiesse that dissolve in six months to a year.
But in the United States, there are perhaps three to five plastic surgeons skilled in using permanent fillers like Silikon 1000 during non-surgical nose jobs.
Tons of RealSelf.com readers report on their cosmetic surgical experiences and the fees paid. The section on non-surgical rhinoplasty reports that 88 percent of those patients mark the procedure as “worth it.”
Typical of most such patients, Handle271 writes: “After 2 rhinoplasties I was left with an over-resected bridge, giving my nose a pointy appearance. After two treatments of silicon (sic) injections about 3 months apart my nose looks 110% better. Well worth the it. No regrets, no downtime.” (Continued below)

(Continued from above) Penned Ruby23: “I’ve always been self-conscious about the bump I had in my nose. And always wanted to get a nose job but never really had the money. So The experience I had with the injections was pleasant – it was painless and fast and the doctor was very friendly. The results were visible the next day..”
Dana3262 had a first rhinoplasty that left a bump on one side and a dent on the other. She did not know about permanent injection rhinoplasty until her consultation with a Beverly Hills cosmetic plastic surgeon.
She writes: “Dr. K was able to even out the ridge so it doesn’t stand out quite as much and he filled in the dent making it even across my entire bridge. The procedure’s were quick, painless, permanent and I went back to work after each injection without any marks or bruising….This is the only surgeon who will ever touch my face again!”
Kiki2011 writes that she had flat, bumpy, “potato nose” and that she had been saving for a surgical rhinoplasty “…but from what I can tell, they usually cost over $5000 and I just wasn’t up for the recovery time.
“I just had Restylane injections in the bridge of my nose and it looks AMAZING. The entire bridge is more straight and defined..”
