Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty: How Long Does It Last & Do You Need Top-Ups?

A full guide from Serenity Clinique

Non-surgical rhinoplasty – also known as the liquid nose job – is one of the most popular treatments we offer for clients who want to refine their nose without surgery. In less than an hour, we can soften a dorsal hump, lift a drooping tip, correct asymmetry and create a more balanced profile – no stitches, no downtime, and no surgical risks.

But naturally, most people want to know:
How long does it last? Do I need to top it up? Is it safe?

Let’s walk you through everything you need to know.

 What Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

It’s a non-invasive procedure that uses high-quality hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to reshape the nose. With precise placement, we can:
• Smooth small bumps or dips
• Lift and refine the nasal tip
• Create a straighter bridge
• Correct minor asymmetry
• Improve side profile harmony with chin, lips and jawline

The treatment usually takes 20-30 minutes, results are visible instantly, and there is minimal downtime.

 How Long Do Results Last?

On average, results last 12-18 months.

However, longevity depends on:
• Your metabolism – faster metabolisms break filler down more quickly
• The type of filler used – structural fillers last longer
• Lifestyle factors – frequent pressure on the nose, sun exposure, smoking or poor skin health can shorten results
• Injection technique – correct depth and safe placement = longer-lasting, natural results

Some clients still maintain beautiful results 18+ months later, while others prefer a small refinement around 12 months.

 Do You Need Top-Ups? When Is Best?

Yes – if you want to maintain the shape and structure of your nose, a maintenance appointment is recommended.

Ideal time for a top-up:
10-12 months after your initial treatment

Why this timing?
• Filler hasn’t fully dissolved yet
• We can build on the existing structure instead of starting from scratch
• It keeps your nose looking consistent and refined – no sudden return of bumps or asymmetry
• Less product is usually needed

 How to Make Your Nose Filler Last Longer

1. First 2 Weeks – Be Gentle

• No heavy glasses or sunglasses pressing on the nose
• Avoid sleeping face-down
• Don’t rub, press or massage your nose unless advised to
• No saunas, steam rooms or intense workouts for 48 hours
• Avoid makeup for 12 hours and keep the area clean

2. Long-Term Care

• Apply SPF 30+ daily – UV breaks down filler faster
• Stay hydrated – hyaluronic acid draws water to maintain volume
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle – sleep, hydration, reduced alcohol and no smoking all improve longevity

 Who Is Not Suitable for This Treatment?

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not suitable for:
• Pregnant or breastfeeding clients
• Clients with previous surgical rhinoplasty – the anatomy can be altered post-surgery, so treatment may only be possible after an in-person assessment and with caution

 Can It Be Reversed? Is It Safe?

Like all injectable aesthetic procedures, it does carry some risks – including bruising, swelling and in extremely rare cases, vascular complications.

However:
• We only use hyaluronic acid filler, meaning results are reversible
• If needed, the filler can be safely dissolved using hyaluronidase
• At Serenity Clinique, your treatment is performed by highly trained injectors with extensive anatomical knowledge and advanced safety techniques (correct injection planes, aspiration, emergency protocols)
• Complications are extremely rare, but if they occur, we are trained to manage them safely and effectively

Your safety and natural results will always come before anything else.

 Final Thoughts

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a beautiful way to enhance your nose without surgery or downtime – giving subtle, natural and confidence-boosting results.

The results aren’t permanent, but with proper aftercare, healthy lifestyle habits and well-timed maintenance appointments, your new nose can stay refined for up to 18 months and beyond.
