Should you bite the bullet and go under the knife, or are dermal filler injections the answer to your dream nose? It depends on your goals – let’s chat about it.
When you’re ready to make a change with your nose, choosing between a traditional rhinoplasty, aka a surgical nose job, or nose filler can feel overwhelming. Both procedures can help balance your nose with the rest of your facial features, but the time commitment, price, and ultimate outcome of each are different. Read on to find out more.
What’s the Difference between a Nose Filler and a Nose Job?
Nose Filler (aka Non-Surgical Nose Job)
Nose filler, or a non-surgical nose job, is an injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance in your body) to help your nose appear more harmonious in relation to the rest of your facial features. Nose filler can help with:
- subtly improving asymmetry in the nose
- concealing and balancing a hump on the dorsum of the nose
- gently balancing the proportions of the face/profile
While nose filler can be used to change your nose shape and improve its appearance, it doesn’t change the underlying structure of your nose, and it isn’t permanent (results last 12+ months, and touch-ups may be required for optimal results).
This makes nose filler the ultimate treatment choice for those who are seeking subtle, less-dramatic improvements, who are mainly interested in facial and profile balancing, or who want to “try out” effects of a surgical nose job without the commitment.

Traditional Nose Job (aka Rhinoplasty)
A nose job, or rhinoplasty, is more invasive than nose filler. Rhinoplasty is a highly technical and artistic surgical procedure. You’ll be under anesthesia, where your surgeon will cut cartilage and bone to reshape your nose. A rhinoplasty can help those who are concerned about:
- overall nose size and shape
- width of the nose
- wide nostrils
- bulbous or misshapen nasal tip
- a bump on the dorsum of the nose
- overall balance and proportion
Rhinoplasty surgery can also help with nasal function, including breathing issues such as a deviated septum. A surgical nose job requires more downtime than dermal filler–you’ll need to wait at least two weeks before returning to work or school–but it also results in permanent results, which some clients prefer.
Which one should I choose?
If you’re looking for permanent results or are interested in restructuring the entirety of your nose, a nose job is likely best for you. If you’re looking for an option that doesn’t require any downtime, isn’t invasive, and are most concerned about overall balance and proportion, you may be a candidate for a non-surgical nose job with filler.
