In short, reshaping your nose without surgery is now possible.
Medical rhinoplasty consists in reshaping your nose without surgery, to make facial features more harmonious and correct imperfections.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is one of the most requested aesthetic-oriented medicine procedures.
Rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid injections makes it possible to correct

Listening to your needs, Dr. Valeria Romano performs medical rhinoplasty procedures in Geneva.
Rhinoplasty through hyaluronic acid injections, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty or medical rhinoplasty, is a non-invasive method to reshape the nose.
While injections can improve many aesthetic imperfections, certain corrections—such as bone reductions, excess skin treatment, and tip narrowing—can only be achieved through surgical rhinoplasty.
Medical rhinoplasty has completely transformed the approach to nasal aesthetics.
Compared to surgery, this technique offers the following advantages :
How to refine a nose that is too big ? How to reduce a nose that is too long ? How to treat a bump on the nose ?
Injections of hyaluronic acid in the nose are an effective way to respond to these requests.
The product used can be highly cross-linked or moderately cross-linked.
Depending on the aesthetic corrections to be performed, the injection can be deep or superficial.
This injection must be performed by an experienced physician who has been trained in this technique for a long time.
The consequences of a failed injection are not only aesthetic, they can be tragic : blindness and necrosis of the nose (necrosis is the ‘death’ of the skin and underlying tissues).
From an aesthetic point of view, it is especially important to avoid masculinizing a woman’s nose or feminizing a man’s nose.
Unfortunately, this is often seen.
Hyaluronic acid injections make it possible to smooth out certain nose imperfections. It is therefore possible to :
Volume reductions are only possible through surgery. However, depending on the anatomy of the nose, it may be possible to slightly narrow the nostrils and refine the tip.
The results of medical rhinoplasty are natural and rebalance the face.
An extremely important area of the face, the nose must above all be adapted to the shape of the face to be harmonious. A rhinoplasty is often associated with a genioplasty (chin modification).
The result is immediate, however on the day of the injection there is slight swelling and the product is visible under the skin. For the product to integrate completely and for the result to be definitive, you will need to wait seven days.
The results of medical rhinoplasty generally last between six and twelve months, depending on the type of product used and individual metabolism. For the first injection, the result lasts rather six to eight months.
Maintenance injections will be necessary to maintain the results.
Potential side effects are redness, bruising, slight swelling, and a feeling of discomfort at the injection site. These effects are generally temporary and disappear within a few days. The patient has a feeling of a hard, cardboard-like nose for one week.
It is important to choose a trained and experienced physician to avoid serious complications such as nose necrosis and blindness. These complications are little known but possible.
In order to avoid the occurrence of side effects or result abnormalities, it is recommended to avoid sports activity for two days, wearing glasses (including swimming goggles), sauna, hammam, UV booths, massage, and facial steam for one week.
It is possible to touch the nose and follow your ‘facial beauty products’ routine, but it is not recommended to apply strong pressure on the nose for one week.
How much does it cost to reshape the nose without surgery ? The cost of medical rhinoplasty varies depending on the product used, the defect to be corrected, and the amount of product required. It is lower than that of traditional surgical rhinoplasty.
The price of a hyaluronic acid injection in the nose is 750 CHF per syringe. In the vast majority of cases, one syringe is sufficient to achieve a natural and harmonious result.
The total cost of a hyaluronic acid injection in the nose is therefore fixed, unless a combined treatment involving another area of the face is planned. A personalised quote is provided during the preliminary medical consultation.
Patient reviews of those who have opted for medical rhinoplasty are generally very positive. Many describe the simplicity and speed of this procedure, which is performed in five minutes at the clinic. Patients appreciate the immediate and natural results obtained without pain or scarring.
The quick recovery is described as a major advantage, and it is possible to resume daily activities immediately after the session.
The structure of the nose cannot be modified without surgical intervention. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is indicated for certain minor imperfections.
Good candidates are generally patients who wish to make small changes to the shape of their nose, such as removing a hump, raising the tip or correcting asymmetry. Medical rhinoplasty is less suitable for major structural changes.
No, this procedure is not recommended for everyone because some indications are surgical. An initial consultation with an experienced physician will determine whether this procedure is indicated in your case.
