Rhinoplasty is just the medical term for nose reshaping. An innovative and industry-leading technique, non-surgical rhinoplasties utilize dissolvable polydioxanone (PDO) threads or dermal filler to help give you the nose you’re after. Whether you’re looking to contour, reshape, lift or define your nose, this is the non-surgical alternative to the traditional surgical nose jobs, with much less downtime and fewer complications.
