Nose reshaping

15-minute nose reshaping

The non-surgical 15-minute nose reshaping procedure is a new and exciting alternative available to people interested in enhancing/improving the shape and contour of their noses without the pain, the price and the recovery time associated with an invasive surgical nose job.

Using dermal fillers can change the appearance of your nose if you are unhappy about the shape or have an unattractive bump, depression or asymmetry. Nose fillers are also ideal if you have had an accident which has caused a deformity or if you have had nasal surgery and are not entirely happy with the results.

Dr Bong’s skills and expertise in this area are unparalleled, having carried out hundreds of these procedures.

You may wish to have a 15-minute nose job for:

• Bridge augmentation
• Nasal defect/hump correction (straightening your profile)
• Nasal tip projection
• Enhance nose balance and correct asymmetry
• minor smoothing indentations,
• Post-accident deformity
• Post nasal surgery surface irregularity
• Create a more tapered and slender-looking nose

Dr Bong prides himself on his innovative approach to advanced non-surgical facial treatments. He is well known for his unique methods of achieving beautiful yet natural results with minimal pain and downtime.

Non surgical Nose Reshaping

Frequently Asked Questions

A nose job without surgery is an excellent option for people who wish to have a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure and are looking for fast, satisfying results. Unfortunately, those with significant nose deformities and those looking to reduce the size of their nose significantly are not candidates for this procedure. For these people, surgical intervention is necessary.

Dr Bong’s skills and expertise in this area are unparalleled, having carried out hundreds of these procedures. You may wish to have a 15-minute nose job for:

• Bridge augmentation
• Nasal defect/hump correction (straightening your profile)
• Nasal tip projection
• Enhance nose balance and correct asymmetry
• minor smoothing indentations,
• Post-accident deformity
• Post nasal surgery surface irregularity
• Create a more tapered and slender-looking nose

  • Non-surgical nose reshaping is far less invasive than surgical rhinoplasty.
  • This treatment does not require a general anaesthetic.
  • Bruising is far less evident, and there will not be the typical black eyes gained following surgery.
  • There’s no downtime.
  • It is far cheaper than surgery.
  • If you really want a surgical procedure but are still unsure, a non-surgical nose reshaping treatment will let you see what your nose would look like before making a final decision.
  • Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a safe procedure, but only when performed by a skilled and experienced medical professional.

To do the nose job, a fine instrument is used to place a small amount of soft tissue filler beneath the skin. Once injected, Dr Bong can then mould the substance into a more desirable nose for you, with only his fingers!

During the procedure, you will have the opportunity to look at yourself in a hand-held mirror and have control over the results.

Blunt-tipped instrument

The safety of our patients is critical to us. Dr Bong is one of the few doctors in Scotland who uses a blunt-tipped instrument for this procedure. This is an advanced technique and requires a high level of precision and a steady hand. It is also the safest way of injecting soft tissue filler because this instrument is designed to avoid accidental injection of filler into a blood vessel. See the next question for more information about the advantages of using this instrument.

While traditionally, soft tissue fillers have always been injected using sharp-tip needles, a new alternative to using needles is using blunt-tipped cannulas. Although there is a role for both injection methods, the cannula offers some excellent benefits to patients.

Sharp needles can pierce veins and arteries beneath the skin. Since blunt cannulas push aside any arteries and veins encountered beneath the skin, there is a reduced risk of bleeding and bruising.

Sharp tip needles use a very thin, short, sharp needle to inject dermal fillers. Multiple injection points are required when using needles, which can increase the risk of hitting a vein. If a vein is hit with a needle, there is a higher chance of bruising after the procedure.

Sharp tip needles may also result in trauma to the skin, causing swelling.

Cannulas have a hollow bore, like needles, allowing the filler to pass through into the tissue. However, cannulas have a rounded, blunt end instead of sharp tip-like needles. It is a bit like a long needle, but the tip is blunt. The process involves numbing the skin with ice and injecting a small amount of local anaesthetic beneath the skin with a tiny needle. When the skin is numb, a needle is used to pierce the skin, and then the cannula is threaded into the puncture site, sliding along the natural planes of tissue, providing access to a large area for filler placement.

Less Pain During Treatment – Being injected multiple times with sharp needles can be painful. Still, while it may sound a bit uncomfortable to have a cannula beneath your skin, there is minimal discomfort. Patients often note that they experience a strange “pushing and tugging” feeling, but there is very little pain. Fewer actual pokes with needles also reduce the amount of pain, even when multiple areas of the face are being treated.

Decreased Risk of Bleeding and Bruising – Sharp needles can pierce veins and arteries beneath the skin. Since blunt cannulas push aside any arteries and veins encountered beneath the skin, there’s a reduced risk of bleeding and bruising.

A Safer Option – When using needles for filler injections, one of the scariest potential complications is accidentally injecting filler into an artery, which can cause tissue death. In sporadic cases, blindness has occurred. Cannulas do not pierce arteries, offering a much safer option for patients.

Minimal Downtime – Since needle-injected fillers can cause swelling and bruise after the procedure, they often have some social downtime. Since the cannula injection method cuts down on swelling and bruising, there is minimal downtime post-procedure.

Precision – With blunt-tipped cannulas, fillers can be injected more accurately, reducing the amount of filler needed to achieve the desired results.

Greater Flexibility – A much larger surface area can be treated with just a single injection site when using the cannula method, making it possible to get more done with fewer injection points.

The results with dermal fillers are instant. After the treatment, the treated area may be slightly red and slightly swollen. However, you can resume normal activities, drive home, or return to work immediately after the treatment.

The results typically last 9-12 months. However, the exact length of time will depend on the structure of your skin and other factors such as lifestyle, age and the degree of perfection demanded by the individual. Additional touch-up treatments can be performed at any time after the initial treatment.

Although uncommon, possible adverse effects may include:
There may be some mild redness in the treated area, which usually resolves after a few hours. Noticeable swelling is uncommon. Occasionally bruising can occur, which, if significant, may last 5-7 days. During this time, make-up can be applied.

A 15-minute nose job avoids the risks of surgery and does not affect nasal breathing since it involves only an injection into the skin. The procedure is much more precise than surgical rhinoplasty, so specific adjustments to nasal contour are possible. The procedure does not cause nosebleeds or persistent swelling.

Not at all. Dr Bong prides himself on his innovative approach to advanced non-surgical facial treatments. He is well known for his unique methods of achieving beautiful yet natural results with minimal pain and downtime.
90% of our patients do not require any form of an anaesthetic agent at all, and they describe this procedure as less uncomfortable than getting a vaccine or having a blood sample taken from your arm. To provide further relief and alleviate as much pain as possible, we use only premium, industry-leading soft tissue fillers which contain a pre-mixed anaesthetic agent.

If you are a new patient, a booking fee will be taken at the point of making your appointment.  Please read our full terms and conditions here.

We respect that your time is valuable, and we appreciate that you understand ours is too. Unfortunately, if appointments are cancelled or rescheduled at short notice, or if you do not attend an appointment, we cannot allocate your appointment slot to someone else; however, we still have overheads and staff salaries to pay. Please read our full terms and conditions here.

Please note for all patients, a £50 fee will be charged if you cancel or reschedule ANY appointment (including appointments which do not require an upfront deposit, such as a ‘check-up’ or review appointment) less than 48 hours before the appointment time. Patients who have pre-purchased a course of treatment will forfeit one of the treatments instead of paying this fee.

Late arrival to your appointment may result in reduced treatment time or the forfeiting of the appointment. We will endeavour to ensure that your appointment runs on time.

To help our patients minimise the chance of losing their deposit or pre-paid treatments, we issue text reminders a minimum of 48 hours ahead of appointments. Patients should be aware that there may be reasons beyond our control, meaning that the text message does not reach them. Patients should diarise themselves when making follow-up appointments and not rely solely on the text message from the clinic as a reminder.

Dr Bong was truly professional and I feel like it looks so natural and I have my confidence back. The procedure was painless, it was a remarkable experience and has totally changed my life.
