Non-surgical rhinoplasty — commonly known as a "non-surgical nose job" or "liquid rhinoplasty" — has become one of the most in-demand treatments at aesthetic clinics across London. Using carefully placed dermal fillers, a skilled practitioner can reshape, refine, and balance the nose without a single incision.
At The London Aesthetic Clinic, non-surgical rhinoplasty is one of our most technically demanding treatments — and one we approach with the utmost care. The nose sits at the centre of the face and has a profound impact on overall facial harmony. Our practitioners combine a deep understanding of nasal anatomy with a refined aesthetic eye to deliver results that are subtle, balanced, and transformative.
What Can a Non-Surgical Nose Job Correct?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is highly versatile, but it works by adding volume rather than removing it. This means it is best suited to specific concerns:
| Concern | Can Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Help? |
|---|---|
| Dorsal hump (bump on bridge) | Yes — filler above and below the hump creates a straighter profile |
| Crooked or asymmetric nose | Yes — strategic filler placement can improve symmetry |
| Drooping nasal tip | Yes — filler at the base can lift the tip appearance |
| Flat or undefined bridge | Yes — filler can add height and definition to the bridge |
| Wide nose | Limited — filler adds volume, so cannot narrow a wide nose |
| Very large nose | Limited — surgery may be more appropriate for significant size reduction |
How Much Does a Non-Surgical Nose Job Cost in London?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty in London typically costs between £350 and £700, depending on the amount of filler required and the practitioner's experience. Given the technical complexity and the risks associated with injecting in this area, this is not a treatment where you should seek the cheapest option.
The Risks: Why Practitioner Choice Is Critical
Non-surgical rhinoplasty carries a higher risk profile than most other filler treatments due to the complex vascular anatomy of the nose. The nasal area has a rich blood supply with vessels that connect directly to the ophthalmic artery — meaning that in rare cases, filler injected incorrectly can cause vascular occlusion, which can lead to tissue necrosis or, in extremely rare cases, vision loss.
This is why it is absolutely essential to choose a practitioner with:
- Advanced knowledge of nasal vascular anatomy
- Extensive experience in non-surgical rhinoplasty specifically
- Access to hyaluronidase for emergency dissolution
- A clear emergency protocol for managing vascular complications
At our London aesthetic clinic, we only offer non-surgical rhinoplasty to appropriate candidates and always have hyaluronidase available on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a non-surgical nose job painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment, and most modern fillers contain lidocaine. The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.
How long does a non-surgical nose job last?
Results typically last 12–18 months, depending on the filler used and individual metabolism. The nose is a relatively low-movement area, so filler tends to last longer here than in areas like the lips.
Can a non-surgical nose job make my nose smaller?
Not directly — dermal fillers add volume rather than remove it. However, by strategically adding filler to camouflage a dorsal hump or straighten a crooked bridge, the nose can appear more refined and proportionate, which can give the illusion of a smaller nose.
What happens when the filler wears off?
As the filler gradually breaks down, your nose will return to its natural appearance. There is no 'sagging' or distortion — the nose simply reverts to its original shape.
