Do you have a bump on your nasal bridge, a drooping nose tip or a slight asymmetry that bothers you? Then a treatment with nose fillers in Ghent can be a subtle solution, without surgery and without a long recovery period. With a few precise injections we refine the line of your nose, while your face remains recognisably yours. On this page you can read how nose fillers work, who they are suitable for and when they are precisely not the right choice. We are honest about that: for some noses a surgical correction is safer or better. During a consultation with Dr T. we assess together what suits you.
During a nose filler treatment, we apply small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler to very specific spots around your nasal bridge, nose tip, or transition to your forehead. This way we can visually smooth out a bump by filling the hollows around it, slightly lift a drooping nose tip, or bring some balance to an asymmetry. The nose itself does not become smaller; we mainly correct the line and the shadows that catch your eye.
This treatment is also called a non-surgical nose correction or liquid rhinoplasty. The difference with surgery is significant: nothing is removed or broken, we only work with filler that adds to the existing volume. As a result, the outcome is refining and subtle, exactly the style that suits Dr T.
Important to know: filler adds volume, it does not take it away. So you cannot truly make a nose smaller or narrow a wide nose with fillers. For that, surgery remains the appropriate route, and we tell you that honestly during your consultation.
Nose fillers are suitable for a bump or unevenness on the nasal bridge, a nose tip that tends to droop slightly, a mild asymmetry, or a small irregularity after a previous procedure. Those who want a natural, restrained refinement without surgery often find this a great intermediate step.
Sometimes a filler is not the right choice. If you want your nose clearly smaller or narrower, you have a large bump or need a pronounced shape correction, or if there are breathing difficulties involved, we prefer to refer you to a surgical solution. Also with active skin infections or certain autoimmune conditions, we postpone or advise against the treatment. During pregnancy or breastfeeding, we never treat.
The nose is an area with fine and important blood vessels. That is why we only perform this treatment when it is safe and meaningful, and never just because we can. Honest advice weighs more here than a quick yes.
Everything starts with a calm consultation. We examine your nose from different angles, listen to what exactly bothers you, and assess whether a filler can genuinely add something here. If the treatment does not suit your nose or expectations, we tell you immediately and together we look for a better-fitting alternative.
If you decide together with Dr T. to proceed, we thoroughly cleanse the skin and use a filler with a numbing component, often combined with a local anesthetic, so the treatment is well tolerated. With a few very targeted injections, we precisely place the filler and sculpt the line while you watch. The treatment itself usually takes a short time.
Afterwards, you can usually go on with your day immediately. You receive clear aftercare advice, for instance, not to massage the area for a while and not to touch your nose unnecessarily. If you have any doubts afterwards, you can always contact us.
The great thing about nose fillers is that you see the result almost immediately. The line of your nose already looks more refined and smoother after the treatment. The true final result appears when any slight swelling subsides in the first days and the filler has settled nicely.
The effect is temporary. Hyaluronic acid filler is gradually broken down by your body, so the result slowly fades over time. Exactly how long this takes varies from person to person and depends on the type of filler and your own metabolism. We discuss a realistic estimate of the expected duration during your consultation.
We deliberately aim for a natural and respectful result: a nose that sits more harmoniously in your face, not a nose that stands out because something has been done. Subtle is welcome, exaggerated is not.
As with any injection, you may get some redness, slight swelling, or a small bruise around the treated area. That is part of it and usually subsides within a few days. A tender or slightly pressure sensation in the first hours is normal.
The nose requires extra caution because important blood vessels run through it. In rare cases, filler can block a blood vessel, which can have serious consequences for the skin or, in exceptional cases, for eyesight. That is precisely why thorough anatomical knowledge and a calm, precise technique are so important here, and we treat the nose only when it is responsible.
If you feel unusual pain, severe discoloration, or visual complaints after the treatment, contact us immediately. We clearly explain before what to watch out for, so you can go home reassured.
The price of nose fillers depends on several things: how much filler is needed, which type of product suits your nose, and how extensive the correction is. That's why we don't work with one fixed amount that applies to everyone.
During your consultation, we look at what exactly your nose needs and you receive a fair and transparent estimate of the costs, before anything happens. That way, you know what to expect beforehand and can decide calmly.
