Nose Correction with Hyaluronic Acid – Nowa Estetyka in Wrocław
Nose shape correction with hyaluronic acid or a filler product is an alternative to rhinoplasty surgery, which involves surgical correction of the nose’s shape. A procedure using fillers and botulinum toxin avoids the painful recovery associated with traditional nose correction surgeries, and the results are visible immediately. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is virtually painless, and swelling or bruising rarely occurs after the filler injection, allowing the patient to return to work and regular activities right after the visit. These factors contribute to the growing popularity of this type of aesthetic treatment.
Nose Correction with Hyaluronic Acid – Procedure
During the first consultation, the aesthetic medicine doctor discusses the patient’s individual needs and realistically assesses how the desired results can be achieved without the need for surgery. If the medical evaluation does not reveal any contraindications to the procedure (e.g., an allergy to a filler component), the patient is qualified for the treatment. Before starting the procedure, the doctor explains the process and informs the patient about potential side effects related to the specific product being used. The patient can monitor the procedure in a mirror and suggest any adjustments if necessary.
Nose corrections are not performed on pregnant or breastfeeding women. A contraindication is an active infection at the injection site. For 7 days before the procedure, blood-thinning, anti-inflammatory medications, and aspirin should not be taken.

Nose Correction with Hyaluronic Acid – Results
- The nose appears more aesthetically pleasing, optically smaller, and “sleeker”
- Changes the angle of the nose tip
- Corrects tip irregularities and humps
- Adjusts tip curvature
- Reduces asymmetry and disproportion
- Elevates the nose tip
The procedure lasts 20-30 minutes. A cream/gel is applied to numb the area before injecting the product into the nose tip. Depending on the patient’s individual predisposition, the effects of the non-surgical nose correction last 8-12 months. After this period, the hyaluronic acid is naturally eliminated from the body.
Nose Correction with Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid has a gel-like consistency and is naturally present in the body, which is why allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid treatments are extremely rare. Hyaluronic acid injected under the skin immediately fills the treatment area. It has a strong ability to bind water molecules in the dermis, improving hydration and making the skin more elastic. Non-surgical nose reshaping is also an option for patients not fully satisfied with a previous nose correction surgery. Hyaluronic acid remains in the skin for 8-12 months, depending on the product used.
Nose Correction with Calcium Hydroxyapatite
Calcium hydroxyapatite, suspended in a gel, is fully biocompatible, meaning there is no need for an allergy test before the actual injections. After several weeks, the gel breaks down, and the calcium hydroxyapatite particles serve as a scaffold for new collagen and elastin fibers. In this case, the results last longer, even up to 4 years.
In both cases, the injected substance is molded by the doctor until the desired nose shape is achieved. Therefore, for at least 6 hours after the procedure, the patient should not touch their nose, and makeup should not be applied. A follow-up visit typically occurs after 14 days.
