What is Nose Shape Enhancement?
Nose shape enhancement is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to improve the appearance of your nose using advanced, minimally invasive techniques. Whether it’s smoothing a bump, lifting the tip, or improving symmetry, subtle changes can bring remarkable balance to your facial features.
What Does it Do?
Nose shape enhancement is a quick outpatient procedure that involves administering approved quantities of injectable ingredients into the skin to achieve the desired outcomes. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, it doesn’t include cutting, anesthesia or downtime. This makes it popular for people seeking temporary yet natural-looking nose shape enhancements.
The approach helps to:
Smoothes Out Bumps and Dips
- Fills in small depressions or indentations on the nasal bridge
- Masks small bumps on the nose for a straighter profile
- Creates the illusion of a more even, symmetrical nose
Lifts a Drooping Nasal Tip
- Adds volume beneath the nasal tip to gently lift and support it
- It can give the nose a more refined appearance.
- Helps correct downward-pointing tips without surgery
Improves Nose Bridge Definition
- Enhances the height and contour of a flat or low nasal bridge
- used for Asian or African nose enhancements, where a higher bridge is desired.
- Provides a more defined and structured look
Enhances Overall Symmetry
- Balances out uneven contours or crooked nose appearance
- Fills in asymmetrical areas to create a more harmonious facial profile
- Ideal for minor post-surgical corrections
Refines the Tip of the Nose
- Improves tip projection without invasive techniques
- It can make the tip appear sharper or more delicate, depending on the facial structure
- Especially helpful for rounded or bulbous nose tips

How to Prepare for Nose Shape Enhancement
Choose a Qualified Practitioner
- Research certified physicians or aesthetic doctors with experience in non-surgical nose reshaping.
- Check before-and-after photos and patient reviews.
- Book a consultation to discuss your goals and suitability for the procedure.
Schedule a Consultation
- Discuss your expectations, concerns, and desired outcomes
- The practitioner will assess your nose shape, skin type, and facial structure
- Medical history will be reviewed to ensure you’re a good candidate
Discuss Medications and Allergies
- Inform your practitioner of any medications you’re taking
- Mention any allergies, especially to the injectable ingredients
- Your provider may adjust the treatment accordingly
Avoid Blood-Thinning Substances
- 7 days before treatment, avoid:
- Aspirin or ibuprofen (unless prescribed)
- Vitamin E, fish oil, garlic supplements, or ginkgo biloba
- Alcohol and green tea
- These can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding during the procedure
Stop Smoking (If Applicable)
- Smoking can slow down the healing process and affect results
- Ideally, stop or reduce smoking for a few days before and after the procedure
Avoid Facial Treatments Beforehand
- Avoid chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or facials for at least 3–5 days before the procedure
- These can cause skin sensitivity or irritation that may interfere with treatment
Come with a Clean Face
- On the day of your appointment:
- Do not wear makeup, creams, or lotions on your face
- Wash your face with a gentle cleanser
- Avoid using active skincare ingredients like retinol that day
Eat and Hydrate Beforehand
- Have a light meal and drink plenty of water before your appointment
- This helps maintain blood sugar levels and comfort during the session
Understand the Procedure and Aftercare
- Make sure you’re clear on what the procedure involves and how to care for your nose afterwards.
- Ask about potential side effects, downtime (minimal), and what to avoid post-treatment
Plan Your Schedule Accordingly
- While there’s little to no downtime, you might experience slight swelling or redness.
- Avoid scheduling essential events or photoshoots for 1–2 days after your session
Aftercare tips
Proper aftercare post-treatment supports healing, reduces side effects and improves the longevity of positive results.
Avoid Touching or Pressuring the Nose
- Do not press, rub, or massage the treated area for at least 24–48 hours
- Avoid wearing glasses or sunglasses that rest on the nose bridge for 1–2 days
- Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated to avoid pressure
Stay Upright for the First Few Hours
- Keep your head elevated and avoid lying down for 4–6 hours after treatment
- This helps prevent ingredient migration and minimises swelling
Limit Physical Activity
- Avoid strenuous workouts, yoga, and heavy lifting for 24–48 hours
- Increased blood flow can worsen swelling or cause bruising
Avoid Extreme Temperatures
- Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and cold weather for at least 2 days.
- Temperature extremes may affect the stability of the injectables
No Makeup or Skincare on the Nose Area
- Refrain from applying makeup or skincare products on the treated area for 12–24 hours.
- This reduces the risk of infection or irritation.
Apply Cold Compress (If Needed)
- Use a gentle cold pack or clean ice wrapped in a cloth to reduce swelling or discomfort.
- Do not apply ice directly or for too long—10 minutes at a time is ideal
Watch for Unusual Symptoms
- Mild swelling, redness, and tenderness are normal for 1–2 days
- Contact your provider immediately if you notice:
- Severe pain
- Blanching (whitening of the skin)
- Dark discoloration
- Visual changes or signs of infection
Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners
- Skip alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment
- Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinners unless medically necessary (as advised by your practitioner)
Follow-Up Appointments
- Attend your follow-up visit (if scheduled) to assess results and make any minor adjustments
- Touch-ups may be recommended to perfect symmetry or refine contour
Maintain Results with Proper Skincare
- Use sunscreen daily to protect the skin and prevent sunburn
- Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced skincare routine
- Consider maintenance treatments every 6–12 months, depending on the injectables used
