Liquid rhinoplasty, also known as nonsurgical rhinoplasty, is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting dermal fillers into the nose to alter its shape. Here are some key points to know about liquid rhinoplasty:
- It is a nonsurgical alternative to traditional rhinoplasty, which involves surgery to reshape the nose.
- The procedure involves injecting dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, under the skin of the nose to refine its shape.
- Liquid rhinoplasty is a good option for patients who have isolated deformities of their nose, such as a dorsal hump or minor asymmetries, or for those who have had a rhinoplasty in the past and have minor irregularities postoperatively.
- The procedure is minimally invasive, requires no anesthesia, and has minimal recovery time.
- The results are immediate and can last up to two years, depending on the type of filler used.
- Liquid rhinoplasty is less expensive than traditional rhinoplasty and presents fewer risks.
- However, it has some limitations compared to traditional rhinoplasty. For example, it cannot make the nose smaller, and the results are temporary.
- It is important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon with expertise in liquid rhinoplasty to ensure safe and effective results.
