Non-Surgical Nose Fillers in Edmonton

Achieving a refined nose profile doesn’t always require surgery. At Albany Cosmetic & Laser Centre, we offer non‑surgical rhinoplasty—often called a liquid nose job—to correct minor nasal irregularities using injectable dermal fillers. This quick, minimally invasive procedure is ideal for smoothing small bumps on the bridge, lifting a droopy tip, or improving asymmetry without the downtime, cost, and risk associated with traditional rhinoplasty.

What Is Non‑Surgical Rhinoplasty and Nose fillers?

Non‑surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a liquid nose job, reshapes the nose by adding volume and structure where needed. By strategically placing small amounts of HA filler or inserting fine threads under the skin, an experienced injector can camouflage a hump, straighten the bridge, lift the tip or correct minor asymmetry.

Because the procedure adds rather than subtracts tissue, it cannot make a large nose smaller or address functional problems like breathing obstruction or a deviated septum. It’s best suited to patients who desire subtle, temporary improvements rather than major structural changes.

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty Summary

Cost & Pricing

Hyaluronic acid nose fillers cost about CA $550 per syringe, while PDO thread lifts start around $600. Financing and package discounts may apply sometimes.

Treatment & Procedure

After consultation and mapping, the injector applies a numbing cream. Hyaluronic acid is injected or dissolvable threads are placed under skin to sculpt nose beautifully.

Mechanism of Action

Hyaluronic acid fillers attract water and add volume to camouflage imperfections. PDO threads act as scaffolds that lift the nasal tip and stimulate collagen production

Benefits & Results

Non‑surgical rhinoplasty offers immediate improvement, minimal downtime, natural‑looking enhancements and reversible outcomes. Results last six to eighteen months.

Side Effects & Downtime

Common issues include redness, swelling, bruising or tenderness around injection or thread entry sites. PDO threads may cause dimples or tightness. Significant complications are rare.

Discomfort & Pain Level

Numbing cream and lidocaine ensure nose filler injections are tolerable. Thread insertion may cause a brief pulling sensation. Most clients describe only mild, short‑lived discomfort.
Infographic summarising dermal filler treatments: a full hyaluronic acid syringe costs about $550; appointments take 30–60 minutes; benefits include restoring volume, smoothing wrinkles and enhancing facial features; results appear within days and can last 6–18 months; possible side effects are temporary redness, swelling, bruising and tenderness at injection sites; discomfort is minimal since a topical numbing cream is applied

Why We Use Hyaluronic Acid Fillers and Threads

We exclusively use HA fillers and PDO (polydioxanone) or PLLA (poly‑L‑lactic acid) threads for our non‑surgical nose treatments. HA is a naturally occurring substance in skin that binds water, providing hydration and volume. When injected beneath the skin, HA filler creates smooth, natural contours and can be sculpted precisely. One of the greatest advantages of HA fillers is reversibility: if you don’t like your result or a complication occurs, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can dissolve the product within days.

PDO threads are dissolvable sutures placed under the skin through tiny entry points. They act as a scaffold to lift and support tissues while stimulating collagen production. In the nose, threads are particularly useful for raising the tip or creating a more defined bridge. They dissolve over about six months while your body’s collagen maintains the lifted effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are You a Good Candidate?

You may be an ideal candidate for HA nose fillers or thread lifts if you:
  • Have minor cosmetic concerns such as a dorsal hump, flat bridge, drooping tip or asymmetry.
  • Want to test changes before committing to surgical rhinoplasty.
  • Prefer a quick, minimally invasive procedure with little downtime.
  • Understand that results are subtle and temporary.
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding, free of active infections, and have no allergies to filler ingredients or lidocaine.
Non‑surgical rhinoplasty is not appropriate if you want to reduce the size of your nose, narrow wide nostrils, fix significant structural deviations or improve breathing. Patients with bleeding disorders, autoimmune diseases, unrealistic expectations or a history of severe scarring should consult carefully with a specialist or consider surgical options.
Proper aftercare helps optimize your results and minimize complications:
  • Use cold compresses intermittently for the first day to reduce swelling.
  • Avoid vigorous exercise, saunas, or hot yoga for 48 hours.
  • Do not wear heavy glasses or sunglasses on the nose for about a week, especially after thread placement.
  • Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for several nights.
  • Avoid massaging or applying pressure to the treated area unless instructed.
  • Skip alcohol, smoking and blood‑thinning medications or supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for a few days before and after treatment.
  • If you experience increasing pain, skin discoloration, vision changes, or signs of infection, contact your practitioner immediately.
The results can last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and your body’s metabolic rate.
Fillers and Threads are two popular non-surgical methods for reshaping and contouring the nose. Both offer a less invasive alternative to traditional rhinoplasty, but they operate differently and can deliver different results. Nose Thread Lifts involve the insertion of fine threads into the nose. These threads create a scaffolding that helps lift the tip of the nose. Moreover, it stimulates collagen production for more natural-looking results. This method is often praised for its precision, especially when lifting the nose tip, and its results can last between 1 to 2 years.
Yes, when administered by trained professionals like our team at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, fillers are safe. We only use FDA-approved fillers and adhere to strict safety protocols for all our procedures. Moreover, we use a blunt cannula to avoid any adverse events.
Choosing between non‑surgical and surgical nose reshaping depends on your goals:
  • Non‑surgical techniques using HA fillers and threads are ideal for refining the nose’s appearance without altering bone or cartilage. They require little to no downtime, provide immediate results, cost less, and are reversible. Drawbacks include temporary results and an inability to correct functional issues or significantly reduce the size of the nose.
  • Surgical rhinoplasty can reshape both the external and internal structures of the nose, permanently altering size, width, and function. It is the only way to address breathing problems or large deviations. However, surgery involves anesthesia, a substantial recovery period, potential scarring, and higher costs.
Many patients opt for a liquid nose job to “preview” changes before committing to surgery or as a long-term alternative if they only require subtle modifications.
Common issues include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the injection sites or thread entry points. PDO threads may cause dimples or slight tightness, which typically subside as the tissues adapt. Sleeping on your back with your head elevated and avoiding heavy glasses or sunglasses for a week helps maintain shape and reduce swelling. More serious complications are rare but can include infection or vascular occlusion, which can lead to skin injury or, in extreme cases, vision changes. Selecting an experienced medical professional and following aftercare instructions are the best safeguards against complications.
After a thorough consultation and facial assessment, your injector marks the injection points and applies a topical numbing cream. Using a fine cannula, the practitioner introduces HA filler into the predetermined areas. The cannula allows safe navigation around nasal blood vessels, reducing the risk of vascular complications. The filler is moulded gently between injections to achieve a smooth profile. The procedure typically lasts about 30 minutes, and results appear immediately.
After mapping and numbing, your provider introduces fine threads through tiny punctures in the skin. The threads are anchored to lift the tip or create a scaffold along the bridge. Once placed, they’re trimmed and hidden beneath the skin. Mild swelling is common, but the lift is visible right away and improves as collagen forms over the following months. Most thread lifts also take about half an hour.
Nose fillers do not physically shrink the nose, but they can create a more balanced nose by improving symmetry and contour. For example, by filling in a dorsal hump or lifting the nasal tip slightly, the overall shape becomes more streamlined, making the nose appear smaller or more refined in proportion to the rest of the face.
The best fillers for non-surgical nose jobs are typically hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers with firm consistency, low flexibility, and strong structural support. Popular and trusted choices include:
  • Juvederm Voluma
  • Revanesse Contour
These fillers provide the necessary structural support, precision, and longevity essential for reshaping the nasal bridge, defining the tip, and correcting bumps or asymmetries. Additionally, hyaluronic acid fillers are fully reversible using the enzyme hyaluronidase, offering added safety.
