The modern trend of surgery is towards less invasive solutions, the so-called minimal-invasive procedures, including those for nose. With the advent of aesthetic medicine, it is possible to correct part of the nasal profile defects only with small injections, sutures or Botox. Initial reports of nonsurgical rhinoplasty date back to the middle of the 1980s where they use injectable contouring.. The minimal-invasive medical rhinoplasty rests its therapeutic base on three pillars: First, Injectable fillers, Second, Thread lifts and Third, Botox. Techniques are based on precise and well-documented rules that allow those who know them thoroughly, to obtain reproducible results over time. Volume is not as important as it is the harmony of volumes. Our objective was to correct mild to moderate deformities of the nose whether primary or secondary with minimal invasive procedures. Twenty two patients of both sexes were involved in this study. As a result fifteen patients were treated with Hyaluronic acid only, in 4 patients we add thread lifts to up rotate the tip more and in 3 patients, we add botox to treat more droopy tips. All patients achieved significant improvement in nasal shape and contour immediately after the procedure. This technique is apparently quite simple must be applied carefully to avoid possible complications that can sometimes be very serious. Majority of the patients included in this study injectable fillers alone were enough to correct the deformity, some patients we add the thread lifts to up-rotate the nose, and the third group Botox added to induce more upward rotation and decrease the droopy tip appearance which aggravated by smiling. In comparison to surgical rhinoplasty, the medical rhinoplasty has the privilege of no recovery time needed after the procedure, no general anesthesia, reversibility of this technique and eventually offers the patient immediate evaluation of the result
