Liquid Rhinoplasty

What is a liquid rhinoplasty?

Liquid rhinoplasty is a nonsurgical nose job. Rhinoplasty is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures in the United States. While surgery to reshape the nose remains popular, the cost, downtime, and risk of complications often turn people away from the procedure. 

Liquid rhinoplasty offers a nonsurgical alternative with fewer risks and temporary results for a more customizable treatment. Rather than surgically altering the nose, Dr. Su and the team can reshape and resize it with dermal fillers. 

Whether you desire a more refined nasal tip or feel embarrassed by an enlarged dorsal hump, Dr. Su can determine whether you’re an ideal candidate for liquid rhinoplasty.

Who is a candidate for liquid rhinoplasty?

Liquid rhinoplasty is ideal for individuals who are not ready to commit to a permanent procedure like a surgical nose job. Nonsurgical rhinoplasty offers temporary results, so you can see what you might look like after surgery without fully committing.

Candidates for rhinoplasty typically have:

• An enlarged dorsal hump
• A collapsed nasal bridge
• A nasal tip that veers to one side
• A rounded nasal tip

Since liquid rhinoplasty adds material to the nose, it is not ideal for individuals who want to slim their nasal bridge or make their noses smaller. Liquid rhinoplasty also cannot address functional concerns, such as a deviated septum.

What are the benefits of liquid rhinoplasty?

Liquid rhinoplasty offers many benefits for men and women who want to alter the shape or size of their noses. Benefits include:

• Plumping up scars and indentations
• Raising the nasal bridge
• Improving your facial symmetry
• Refine or lift the nasal tip

If you’re interested in liquid rhinoplasty, Dr. Su and the team can evaluate your medical history, perform a facial evaluation, and discuss your expectations to create a personalized treatment plan. 

What can I expect from liquid rhinoplasty?

After your consultation, Dr. Su will determine which type of filler is right for you. She may use a combination of fillers to achieve your desired results. Liquid rhinoplasty requires no anesthesia, though Dr. Su may administer a local anesthetic to improve your comfort. 

The liquid rhinoplasty procedure only takes a few minutes and produces instant results. You may experience minor redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects subside within a few days. Depending on the type of filler you use, results can last for 6-12 months.
