A non-surgical nose job gave me a bump-free nose in 10 minutes

At some point or another we have all muttered the words, “Ugh, I hate my nose”. For some reason, it tends to be a body part we feel very self-conscious about. However, for most of us the hang up just doesn’t seem worth the hospital stay, price tag and overall hassle of a surgical nose job.

This is why the phenomenon of non-surgical nose jobs are on the rise. The non-invasive procedure can, in some cases, do the same or very similar job to that of surgery through using dermal fillers. Fillers are still something of a mystery – and it doesn’t help that some celebrities who’ve signed up for the procedure are left a shadow of their former selves. So, it’s safe to say I was more than a little worried about being injected with toxins that could potentially leave me looking comically fake.

But it was a straight nose I was after and this seemed the only way to achieve it without going under the knife.

I went to ‘Body Fixers’ very own Dr Esho, one of the UK’s leading celebrity cosmetic doctors. His ESHO Clinic has a six-month waiting list, with clients flying over from 50 different countries. Dr Esho alone has seen a 15 per cent increase in interest in non-surgical nose jobs in the past year.

And it’s easy to see why. The procedure was surprisingly simple and took no more than 15 minutes – plus the results last up to 18 months.

As someone who has never had any cosmetic work done (and was nervous getting my flu vaccine) I was a little anxious. But I didn’t need to worry. After what felt like a couple of minutes, the job was done and I had felt almost no pain. There were four tiny needle marks and an immediately visible bump-free nose to reward me.

What’s scary is how easy it all was.

The ease of the procedure left me considering whether I should book in for better cheek bones and bigger lips. But I had to stop myself. It’s our impatient manner and the rush to fix so-called ‘imperfections’ that has given filler procedures such as non-surgical nose jobs a bad reputation. Most bodged cases are due to people rushing into them because of the cheap prices (average price is £400) and not researching their surgeon carefully.

My advice? Book a professional and take your time before going for it. You may get the results you want but always think carefully before sorting out your schnozzle – or any other body part that gets you down.
