How are nose injections carried out at EST Clinic?
If you choose to have your nose filler treatment in Melbourne with us at EST Clinic, this is what you can expect:
Consultation
At your initial consultation, a Specialist Plastic Surgeon or an experienced Cosmetic Nurse will assess your facial features and spend time understanding your concerns. They will answer any questions and discuss any concerns you may have to ensure you have all the information you need before proceeding with any treatments.
Procedure
Nose filler treatments typically take between 30 and 60 mins to perform. We only use premium fillers containing a local anaesthetic, in addition to preparing the treatment areas with topical anaesthetic where required, to minimise any potential discomfort.
Some Side Effects and Risks
Non-surgical nose fillers, while generally considered safe when done by a qualified medical professional, can still carry some risks and potential side effects. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Bruising and Swelling: These are the most common side effects and can last a few days to a week.
- Pain: Some discomfort or pain at the injection site is common but usually temporary.
- Asymmetry: There's a chance the filler may not be applied evenly, leading to an asymmetrical appearance.
- Infection: As with any procedure that breaks the skin, there's a risk of infection, although it is relatively rare.
- Allergic reaction: Some people may have an allergic reaction to the filler material, though this is also rare.
Results and Recovery
You should see immediate results after having nose filler injections. Some swelling, redness and mild discomfort may occur but should subside quickly. The final result may take a few days to appear as the swelling reduces.

FAQs
If you have any more questions about our nose filler treatment in Melbourne or any of our services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime, you can find our FAQs below that may provide the additional information you’re looking for.
Nose fillers are not permanent and will typically last for about 6 to 12 months before needing to be repeated. It's important to follow the aftercare instructions (such as avoiding rubbing, massaging or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours), to ensure the best possible results.
No, if administered by a qualified professional (such as a Specialist Plastic Surgeon or experienced Cosmetic Doctors or Nurses), nose filler should not do any damage to your nose. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some possible risks and side effects, the most common include swelling, redness and mild discomfort at the injection site.
Nose filler injections are not recommended for people who have severe structural issues with their nose or for those who have had previous surgical procedures on their nose. It's also important to have realistic expectations, the procedure can correct minor imperfections but not change the entire shape of the nose.
Whether or not you need multiple injections will depend on your individual case and the desired results. In some cases, a single treatment may be enough to achieve the desired outcome, while in others multiple treatments may be necessary.
No, an injectable rhinoplasty procedure will not leave any scars. Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, which involves making incisions in the skin, injectable rhinoplasty only involves injecting a filler into the nose, so there are no incisions or scars. The only visible sign that the procedure was carried out is the small puncture marks, which should be barely visible if at all and will disappear within a few days.
Yes, you can combine nose filler treatment with other cosmetic procedures. The treatment is often combined with anti-wrinkle injections for even more effective results, as the two treatments can be used to complement each other.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
