Meet Dr Bianca: The Dentist Behind Some of Wellface's Most Precise Nose Work

Meet Me, Dr Bianca: The Dentist Behind Some of Wellface's Most Precise Nose Work

Every so often someone joins a clinic and simply fits. I'm one of those people, or at least I hope so. I'm the newest aesthetics practitioner at Wellface, a fully qualified dentist who now spends my days shaping noses, softening lines and helping patients see a version of themselves they're genuinely happy with. In a recent reel filmed alongside our founder Dr Yasmin Tayeb, I talked about why I joined, what I love about the work, and the one treatment I'd happily perform all day: non-surgical rhinoplasty.

If you've never met a dentist who does aesthetics, it can sound like an unusual pairing at first. It isn't. Some of the most skilled injectors in the country came to facial aesthetics through dentistry, and there are good reasons for that, which I'll get into. I bring that clinical background together with a real eye for proportion, and I think the combination shows in my results.

This piece is part introduction and part deep dive. You'll get to know me a little, understand why I chose Wellface, and then I'll spend proper time on my favourite treatment, the non-surgical nose job, so you know exactly what it can and can't do before you ever sit in the chair.

A dentist by background, an aesthetician by passion

Dentists spend years working within millimetres. Every filling, every crown, every adjustment happens in one of the most detail-heavy parts of the body, and it all has to look natural while it works. That training in fine motor control, facial anatomy and symmetry translates remarkably well to injectable aesthetics.

Think about what a dentist already knows intimately. The muscles of facial expression. The blood supply around the mouth, nose and cheeks. How the lower face is framed by bone and soft tissue. How tiny changes read on a face when someone smiles or talks. That anatomical fluency is exactly what you want in the person holding a needle near your nose or lips.

I also bring the softer skills that dentistry demands. Patients are often nervous. Communication has to be clear and calm. Sterile technique and safety are second nature rather than an afterthought. When I talk about aesthetics as my passion, it's the artistry layered on top of that clinical foundation that I mean. I read a face for balance, then plan the smallest possible intervention to bring it into harmony. That restraint is a hallmark of good injectors, and it's something we look for in everyone who joins Wellface.

Why I chose Wellface

In the reel, I'm refreshingly honest about how I ended up here. I didn't wait to be approached. I woke up one morning, decided I wanted to be part of the team, emailed Dr Yasmin Tayeb my CV and asked to meet. As I put it, the rest is history.

What drew me in was the standard. I describe the practitioners at Wellface as an all-star team, winning award after award and setting the bar for clinical excellence. For a newly qualified aesthetics practitioner, the environment you train in matters enormously. Aesthetics is a field where you keep learning for your entire career, and the people around you shape how good you become.

That's where the mentorship comes in. I speak warmly about working alongside Dr Yasmin, whose experience and guidance are steering my early development. At Wellface, training sits at the front of everything, not as a box to tick but as a genuine ongoing commitment. New practitioners are supported, supervised and stretched, so that patients feel the benefit of a whole team's knowledge rather than one person's.

I also love the breadth of what the clinic can offer. Many injectors stock one or two skincare lines. We carry three medical-grade ranges, which means skin can be treated properly rather than with whatever happens to be on the shelf. And because the treatment menu runs from anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers through to Profhilo, polynucleotides, Morpheus8, laser and more, I rarely have to tell a patient that something they need isn't available. As I say, the sky's the limit. That freedom to recommend the right treatment, not just the one on offer, is a big part of what keeps my results honest.

My favourite treatment: the non-surgical nose job

Ask me for my favourite treatment and there's no hesitation. It's non-surgical rhinoplasty, sometimes called a liquid nose job or nose filler. I love it because the change is immediate, the results can be striking, and there's essentially no downtime. Some of my patients have looked at their reshaped profile and decided against surgery altogether, choosing instead to top up the treatment every so often.

It's easy to see the appeal. The nose sits at the centre of the face, so even a small refinement changes how balanced someone looks. And unlike surgery, there's no general anaesthetic, no cast, no weeks of bruising and no permanent commitment.

How a non-surgical nose job actually works

The name can be a little misleading. A non-surgical rhinoplasty doesn't make the nose smaller. It reshapes it by adding tiny, precise amounts of dermal filler to specific points, so that the eye reads the nose as straighter, smoother or more refined.

A common example is the dorsal hump. If someone has a bump on the bridge, placing a small amount of filler just above and below it creates a straighter line down the nose, so the hump no longer casts a shadow or draws the eye. Filler at the tip can lift a drooping nasal tip and make it look more defined. A touch at the base can improve how the nose looks in profile. In each case, I'm working with light and shadow as much as with structure, camouflaging irregularities and creating symmetry.

This is why anatomical knowledge matters so much. The nose has an important blood supply, and I need to know exactly where to place product and, just as importantly, where not to. My dental training means I'm thoroughly comfortable with this region, and at Wellface every injector works to strict safety protocols.

What a session with me involves

It starts with a proper consultation. Before any needle comes out, I'll talk through what's bothering you, look at your nose from every angle and be clear about what filler can realistically achieve for your face. If I think surgery would serve you better, I'll say so. Honesty about limits is part of good practice.

The treatment itself is quick, usually around twenty to thirty minutes. Numbing cream is applied first to keep you comfortable, and the filler is placed through a fine needle or cannula in a series of small, controlled deposits. Many patients are surprised by how manageable it feels. Throughout, I'll check the shape as I go, often with a mirror, so the result is a collaboration rather than a surprise.

Downtime and how long results last

This is the part patients love. There's no real recovery period. You might have a little redness or minor swelling at the injection points, and occasionally a small bruise, but most people head straight back to work or out to meet friends the same day. As I say in the reel, you can go straight back to your life.

The refinement is visible immediately, though it settles fully over the following couple of weeks as any minor swelling subsides. Results typically last somewhere in the region of twelve to eighteen months, depending on the filler used and how quickly your body breaks it down. When you're ready, a top-up maintains the look. Because the product is temporary, there's a reassuring flexibility to it. If your tastes change, the nose gradually returns to its starting point.

Is a non-surgical nose job right for you?

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is brilliant for certain concerns and simply not the answer for others. It shines when the goal is to smooth a bump on the bridge, lift or define the tip, straighten a slightly crooked profile or improve balance and symmetry. It's also a thoughtful option for anyone considering surgery who wants to preview a more refined shape before committing to the operating table.

What it can't do is make a large nose smaller or narrow a wide one, because it works by adding volume rather than removing it. If reducing size is your main aim, surgical rhinoplasty is the more suitable route, and a good practitioner will tell you that at the consultation rather than sell you something that won't deliver.

There are also a few situations where the treatment isn't advised, including active skin infections around the nose, and it's not offered during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you've had previous surgical rhinoplasty or filler in the nose before, do mention it, as it affects planning. All of this is exactly what the consultation is for.

Getting the most from your treatment

Aftercare for a non-surgical nose job is straightforward, which is part of why patients like it. For the first day or two it helps to leave the area alone. Try not to press, rub or massage the nose, and be careful with glasses or sunglasses that rest on the bridge, as constant pressure can affect freshly placed filler. Give heavy exercise, saunas and very hot environments a miss for a couple of days, and keep makeup off the injection points for the rest of the treatment day if you can.

Beyond that, a little patience goes a long way. If there's any minor swelling, it settles quickly, and the final shape is usually clear within a fortnight. I'll talk you through everything specific to you before you leave, and the clinic is always happy to answer questions afterwards.

Common questions about non-surgical rhinoplasty

Does it hurt?

Most people find it far more comfortable than they expect. Numbing cream takes the edge off, and many of the fillers used contain a local anaesthetic too. You'll feel some pressure and the occasional sharp sensation, but it's generally well tolerated and over quickly.

How is it different from surgery?

Surgery physically alters the bone and cartilage and can reduce the size of the nose, with results that are permanent but involve anaesthetic, downtime and recovery. The non-surgical version adds filler to reshape and refine, with immediate results, minimal downtime and an effect that gradually wears off. They solve different problems, and neither is simply a cheaper version of the other.

How long until I see the final result?

You'll see the change straight away on the treatment day. Any minor swelling tends to settle over the following one to two weeks, at which point the shape is fully settled.

Can the filler be dissolved if I don't like it?

Hyaluronic acid fillers, which are commonly used for the nose, can be dissolved with an enzyme if needed. This is one of the reasons the treatment appeals to cautious patients. It gives a sense of reversibility that surgery can't.

How often will I need it topped up?

As a guide, results last around twelve to eighteen months. When the shape begins to soften, a maintenance appointment restores it. Some patients find it lasts a little longer with each treatment.
