Liquid rhinoplasty, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic treatment that we employ injectable dermal fillers (typically hyaluronic acid) to temporarily alter, contour, and refine imperfections on the nose without the need for surgery. This procedure is particularly effective for addressing dorsal humps, elevating the tip, or enhancing symmetry, offering immediate results and requiring minimal recovery time.

Procedure Type

This is a minimally invasive injection procedure, typically lasting between 15 to 45 minutes.

Best For

This procedure is ideal for individuals aiming to address minor bumps, rectify asymmetries, or elevate the nasal tip. This procedure is favored by individuals who are reluctant to undergo permanent surgery or who wish to correct irregularities resulting from a prior surgical rhinoplasty.

Limitations

It is important to note that this procedure cannot reduce the size of your nose; rather, it adds volume for reshaping, which may not be appropriate for those seeking a reduction.

Benefits

The advantages include immediate results, minimal to no recovery time, and the reversibility of the procedure if hyaluronic acid fillers are utilized.

Results Duration

The effects are temporary, generally persisting for 6 to 12 months, although they may last longer as the body gradually absorbs the filler.

Risks

Common side effects may involve swelling, redness, and bruising. There are rare but serious risks, such as vascular complications (where the filler enters a blood vessel), potentially resulting in skin necrosis or, in extremely rare instances, blindness.
