Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

Hello,

I would just like to know if you currently offer the non-surgical nose job, and if so, what is the average typical cost of this procedure.

Thanks.

Leanne,
Yes, but you have to be a candidate. I use Restylane, Radiesse, and silicone. The costs vary between 550 to let's say 2100. If you have a very large hump, for example, I would recommend a formal rhinoplasty. If you have only the slightest hump and a low starting point that is your nose starts lower I can treat it with a few drops of silicone. Sometimes however you need more than one treatment. Therefore, I gave you the worst case scenario with 700/treatment of silicone x 3 spaced over several months with a month between injections. If you do Restylane it is $550. Radiesse is $800. Radiesse typically lasts longer possibly over a year to year and half versus Restylane which is perhaps about a year or slightly less. Here are my thoughts if you are not a candidate for silicone in that you really need a surgical rhinoplasty, then I would HIGHLY recommend doing Restylane for two reasons. First, it is reversible in case you don't like it or want to proceed with a formal rhinoplasty. Second, it won't mess up my rhinoplasty. Radiesse really is not advisable if you are contemplating rhinoplasty anytime in the future because it sticks around and messes up tissue planes and you could have a lumpy result in the treated area after rhinoplasty. I hope this answer makes sense.

Okay.... Thank you so much for your quick response and all of your information. I actually just have a slight bump on the bridge of my nose, it's not large enough for me to want to go through any type of surgery to have corrected, but it is just big enough to bother me to the point, that I just want it to go away. I will call your office to make an appointment for a consultation to see what you think.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad that I could be of help, and I look forward to meeting you to make the proper decision to assist you.
best,
