What is medical rhinoplasty?
Medical (or non-surgical) rhinoplasty uses hyaluronic acid injections to correct small contour irregularities of the nose, without surgery. It is a quick, reversible gesture, performed in the office — a complement to surgery, not a substitute for it.
What it can do
- camouflage a small bump by filling above and below it;
- slightly lift or support a drooping tip;
- soften a discreet asymmetry or a small irregularity;
- refine the profile line, subtly.
Its limits
Medical rhinoplasty adds volume; it cannot reduce the size of the nose, correct a large bump or a marked deviation, nor treat a breathing problem. Its result is temporary, as the product is gradually resorbed. For a genuine, lasting transformation, surgery remains the appropriate option.
How a session unfolds
The session is short and performed in the office, after a numbing cream. The result is visible immediately and settles over a few days; it generally lasts several months to about a year. Pricing for medical rhinoplasty ranges from €500 to €900 per session — see the detailed pricing.
Medical or surgical: how to choose?
The two approaches do not answer the same needs. Medical rhinoplasty adds volume to camouflage a small defect, with an immediate but temporary result and no downtime. Surgical rhinoplasty reshapes the very structure of the nose (bone, cartilage) for a genuine, lasting transformation, and can also improve breathing. The choice depends on your nose, your expectations and the extent of the correction — it is discussed together during the consultation.
A safe, reversible gesture — in expert hands
The nose is a delicate area, crossed by blood vessels: injecting it is not a trivial act and requires a precise knowledge of the anatomy. This is why medical rhinoplasty should be entrusted to a practitioner who is an expert in the nose. The product used, hyaluronic acid, has the advantage of being reversible: it can be dissolved with an injection of hyaluronidase if needed, which adds an extra margin of safety.
Who is it for? The right indications
Medical rhinoplasty is aimed at people who want to correct a small imperfection without surgery, to smooth a slight bump, support a tip or refine the profile line. It is also useful for touching up a minor irregularity after a surgical rhinoplasty, or for previewing the effect of a small change. For a reduction of the nose or a marked deformity, on the other hand, surgery remains necessary.

Frequently asked questions
Medical rhinoplasty: your questions.
Is medical rhinoplasty painful?
Not much. A numbing cream is applied before the session; you mainly feel light pressure during the hyaluronic acid injections.
How long does the result last?
Generally from several months to about a year: the hyaluronic acid is gradually resorbed by the body. A touch-up can then be considered.
Is medical rhinoplasty reversible?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an injection of enzyme (hyaluronidase), which makes the gesture reversible if needed.
Does medical rhinoplasty replace surgery?
No. It corrects small irregularities and adds volume; it cannot reduce the size of a nose, correct a large hump or treat a breathing problem. It is a complement to surgery.
How much does a session cost?
Between €500 and €900 per session, depending on the amount of product and the correction performed. A quote is provided during the consultation.
