Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as liquid or filler rhinoplasty, is a non-invasive procedure that uses dermal fillers to alter the shape and appearance of the nose without the need for surgery. Instead of making incisions and restructuring the nasal bones and cartilage, fillers are strategically injected into specific areas of the nose to achieve desired results.
During a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure, a trained medical professional will carefully inject dermal fillers containing substances such as hyaluronic acid (HA) into targeted areas of the nose. The fillers can be used to smooth out bumps or irregularities, enhance symmetry, lift drooping tips, improve nasal contours, or add volume to certain areas.
The effects of non-surgical rhinoplasty are immediate and can last anywhere from several months up to a year or more depending on factors such as the type of filler used and individual metabolism. It’s important to note that since hyaluronic acid-based fillers are temporary in nature, ongoing treatments may be required to maintain desired results.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers is generally considered a safe procedure when performed by an experienced medical professional. However, there may be potential side effects such as temporary swelling, bruising, redness at injection sites, or rare complications like infection or vascular compromise if not performed correctly.
It’s important to note that non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers has its limitations. It cannot significantly reduce the size of the nose or correct functional issues such as breathing difficulties caused by structural abnormalities. If you have more complex concerns or desire permanent changes to the nose, a surgical rhinoplasty may be the more suitable option.
