Quick answer
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a medical procedure, without incisions, in which hyaluronic acid is applied at points on the nose to soften small irregularities, such as a slight bump or an under-defined tip. It does not make the nose smaller or fix breathing problems. The effect is temporary.
What it can soften
- A small bump on the bridge.
- An under-projected nasal tip.
- Small asymmetries or dips.
It works by compensation: filling strategic points makes the profile look more even.
What it cannot correct
It does not reduce the nose, narrow bones, correct a deviated septum or breathing problems. In those cases, the assessment may indicate that a surgical consultation is the right option; Mya does not perform surgery.

Risks and why a doctor performs it
The nose has a delicate network of blood vessels. Non-surgical rhinoplasty therefore requires anatomical knowledge, careful technique and small amounts, always by a doctor. Swelling and tenderness in the first days are common.
How it works
Profile assessment, anaesthetic and hyaluronic acid applied at a few points. The session is short and you can usually return to your routine the same day, avoiding pressure on the area (for example heavy glasses) for a few days.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it last?
It is temporary; duration varies from person to person.
Does it hurt?
Anaesthetic is used. Most people describe mild discomfort.
Can it be undone?
Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with a specific enzyme if the doctor considers it appropriate.
Is it part of facial harmonisation?
It can be, when the plan justifies it. See facial harmonisation in the Algarve.
