Many people are unhappy with the shape of their nose, but have generally resigned themselves to living with it as surgery is out of the question. However, now using dermal fillers, you can instantly reshape your nose without surgery. A non-surgical rhinoplasty has now opened up the possibility of improve the concerns countless people have about the appearance of their nose.
What is a 3 point rhinoplasty?
A 3-point rhinoplasty is another name for a non-surgical rhinoplasty that uses dermal filler to reshape the nose. It is so called because there are 3 key areas of the nose that are targeted during the treatment. These are:
- The bridge of the nose: Also known as the radix, this is the area between your eyes.
- The dorsum of the nose: This is the point half way between the nose bridge and nose tip.
- The nose tip.
Other areas of the nose can also be treated such as the side walls and columella (the part between the nostrils), but these are generally supportive and do not form the foundation of the 3-point rhinoplasty.

Benefits of a 3 point rhinoplasty vs surgical rhinoplasty (nose job)
3-point rhinoplasty has a number of attractive benefits. It takes 10-20 minutes, gives an immediate result and has no downtime. While the result is temporary, it generally only needs maintaining every 6-24 months on average. Further, the result can be immediately reversed in the rare chance it just isn for you, or in the very rare case of a side effect. 3-point rhinoplasty does have a few limitations. It can’t reduce the size of a very large nose, or fully correct large imperfections, however this is only applicable to a very small number of people.
In contract, rhinoplasty surgery is invasive, much more expensive and requires a general anaesthetic. There may be external scars depending on the approach, and the result is permanent (good or bad depending on how you feel about the result). Furthermore, you’ll need some time off work, and the final result won’t be visible for 6-12 months as the swelling takes time to subside. Surgical rhinoplasty is better suited for people with very large noses or imperfections, and for those who are ready to commit to a permanent change.
