Injection rhinoplasty in Geneva

Reshape your nose without surgery—quick, safe, and reversible

Non-surgical rhinoplasty—also known as injection rhinoplasty or liquid rhinoplasty—is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses injectables to temporarily reshape the nose. It’s an ideal option for patients looking to improve nasal contours without undergoing surgery. This technique is especially useful for smoothing out bumps, refining the nasal tip, or correcting minor asymmetries.
At our clinic in the heart of Geneva, we use advanced hyaluronic acid nose fillers to deliver natural-looking, precise results—often in under 30 minutes. Botulinum toxin or steroids may be used, depending on the request of the patient.
Whether it’s your first cosmetic rhinoplasty or a small correction after previous nose surgery, non-surgical rhinoplasty offers a subtle yet effective transformation with no downtime.

What injection rhinoplasty can address

Subtle reshaping without surgery – non-surgical rhinoplasty

Injection rhinoplasty using fillers — also called a liquid nose job — is ideal for patients seeking minor corrections without undergoing surgery. Hyaluronic acid fillers smooth irregularities, enhance symmetry and refine nasal contours in under 30 minutes.Common aesthetic corrections include:
- Smoothing dorsal humps: Fillers can camouflage a bump by adding volume above or below it, creating a straighter profile.
- Lifting or refining the nasal tip: For a droopy or under-defined tip, targeted filler placement can subtly improve shape.
- Balancing asymmetries: Small dents, dips, or contour irregularities can be corrected for a more symmetrical nose.
- Post-surgical touch-ups: Liquid rhinoplasty is sometimes used to correct minor imperfections following a surgical rhinoplasty.
- Nasal valve support: In select cases, fillers can help stabilize collapsed nasal valves.
Results: Instant, lasting 9–18 months

Downtime: Minimal — most patients resume normal activities the same day

Botulinum Toxin (botox)Botox can be used strategically in injection rhinoplasty to relax certain nasal muscles, improving the appearance of nasal flaring or a drooping nasal tip when smiling. Results: Appear in 3–7 days, lasting 3–4 months
Downtime: None

Corticosteroid InjectionsIn cases where there is post-surgical swelling, minor irregularities, or scar tissue following rhinoplasty, low-dose corticosteroid injections may be used to:
- Reduce localized inflammation
- Soften firm tissue or thickened skin
- Improve contour or symmetry
These are generally used selectively in post-operative care or for refining subtle imperfections without additional surgery.

Note: This procedure is not suitable for patients seeking significant size reduction or correction of major structural issues, such as deviated septum or breathing problems.

Results: Gradual improvement over 2–6 weeks

Downtime: Minimal to none

What to expect: the injection rhinoplasty process

operation-rhinoplasty-surgery-switzerland

Before the operation

Our first step is a personalized consultation at our Geneva clinic. We take the time to assess your nasal anatomy, listen to your aesthetic goals, and discuss whether liquid rhinoplasty is the right choice for you.

As part of our commitment to precision, we use Vectra 3D imaging to simulate potential outcomes of non-surgical rhinoplasty. This technology helps set clear expectations and ensures a shared vision between patient and surgeon.

Common goals discussed during the consultation, such as :

Camouflaging bumps (dorsal hump) on the bridge
Enhancing nasal bridge height
Refining the nasal tip
Correcting minor asymmetries or contour irregularities

The consultation also includes a full explanation of what injection rhinoplasty can and cannot do. While it can achieve impressive results, it’s important to understand that fillers cannot reduce nose size or correct major functional issues like a deviated septum.

During the procedure

The treatment typically takes under 30 minutes and is performed in-clinic. No anesthesia is required, though a numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

Using hyaluronic acid fillers, we precisely inject targeted areas to sculpt and balance the nose. Strategic placement may also help stabilize nasal valves or correct subtle post-surgical irregularities.

Because it’s non-invasive, there’s minimal downtime—you can return to daily activities immediately. Most patients experience only minor swelling or bruising at the injection site, which fades within a few days.

What results to expect?

A well-performed injection rhinoplasty delivers subtle yet visible improvements that enhance the overall balance of your face. Most results are immediate, with full effect visible once any minor swelling subsides—usually within a few days.

Typical outcomes from non-surgical rhinoplasty include:

A smoother nasal bridge
Improved nasal tip definition
Better profile balance
Correction of minor asymmetries or surgical irregularities

The results from hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty generally last 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used (e.g., Restylane®, RHA4, Voluma®) and your body’s metabolism. In some cases, patients may notice longer-lasting effects.

How long is the recovery period?

One of the biggest advantages of non-surgical rhinoplasty is the minimal recovery time. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after the procedure, with only minor swelling or redness that resolves within 24 to 48 hours.

There are no splints, stitches, or general anesthesia involved—just quick, subtle refinements with hyaluronic acid nose fillers.

To minimize the risk of complications, we recommend avoiding intense exercise and pressure on the nose for the first 48 hours.

Our team will provide you with clear post-treatment instructions and remain available if you have any concerns during your healing period.
