Non-surgical nose job is perfect for anyone who's not sure if they want a permanent change.
Artefill
This is the first permanent filler that was FDA approved almost 9 months ago.
It's microscopic beads of plastic, same kind of collagen used to fill in wrinkles. The collagen is absorbed by the body, beads stay as scaffolding, skin cells grows around the beads and maintain the filling effect.

The cost is $2000.
Side Effects
Virtually none. Possible bruising or tenderness on the tip of the nose.
Touch-ups
It's good to do a touch-up about 3 weeks later. When you're injecting you get swelling, and when the swelling comes down, you can see the actual result to get it perfect.
Candidates
Most people are pretty good candidates.
