Non-Surgical Nose Job or Liquid Rhinoplasty

The nose is the centerpiece of the face. When the nose is asymmetric, out-of-proportion, or bumpy, it attracts unwanted attention to itself and may detract from the harmony and beauty of the rest of the face.

Traditionally, Rhinoplasty surgery was the only solution to address all issues related to the nose, from bumps to droopy tips. Patients seeking change in their noses had to undergo a surgical procedure for nasal correction. Now, some of these concerns can be corrected with injectable dermal fillers. Dermal fillers, when injected by an expert injector can correct many imperfections and provide similar benefits of a surgical Rhinoplasty without the downtime involved with surgery.

A non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure has the best results on these types of issues:

• Nose tip refinement or lifting
• Small nasal humps or bumps if there is a depression above or below it
• Divots, dips, and depressions on the nose
• Mildly crooked noses
• Bridge augmentation
• Some cases of asymmetrical nostrils

Non-surgical nose jobs can enhance and improve the current condition of the nose’s appearance, they can help camouflage nasal imperfections and correct contour irregularities.

The most important benefit is that this dermal filler procedure provides nose reshaping without surgery and the downtime associated with a surgical Rhinoplasty. The non-surgical nose job can fill dents and divots, correct asymmetry, smooth humps, and bumps, refine or lift the tip of the nose and aesthetically reshape the nose with minimal pain and no downtime.

The Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty cannot make your nose smaller, flatten large humps, remove tissue from the nose, correct significantly crooked noses or improve conditions inside your nose. It is only recommended for subtle re-shaping of the nose. Dr. Bomer and Dr. Bouzoukis also perform surgical Rhinoplasties and will advise their patients if the issue they are trying to correct can only be corrected surgically.

Yes, filler injections can improve minor differences in nostril size and shape, depending on the exact nature of the asymmetry.

• Injecting filler in the sill (arrow) can slightly widen a narrow nostril by pushing the side out a little wider. Filler cannot make a large nostril smaller.
• Sometimes if one nostril inserts a little lower, filler can raise it up as well.
• Significant differences require surgery.

Only a surgeon that performs Rhinoplasty surgery, and is intimate with facial anatomy, should perform non-surgical Rhinoplasty because the intricate anatomy of the nose and the blood supply to the nose must be fully understood before fillers are injected.

Our doctors, after thoroughly analyzing your photos taken during your appointment, will determine which filler or combination of fillers will be the best choice to achieve your desired results. After the doctor decides on a plan specifically created for your face, the doctor will numb the area and inject the dermal filler using their proven technique to achieve the best natural results possible.

There are several fillers used at Rejuvent to enhance your nose sculpting, these fillers, used individually or in combination, are used depending on the desired outcome.  Only hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Restylane Lyft or Restylane Refyne are used.  Hyaluronic Acid is a lubricating material already found in your body; it is perfect for the nose area as it is non-permanent and can be dissolved if the patient so desires.

Permanent fillers such as Bellafill should never be used in the nose.  If there is a cosmetic issue after injection it cannot be corrected, and having a foreign substance in the nose such as tiny acrylic beads can lead to infections that are difficult to treat.

At Rejuvent, we pride ourselves in not rushing and we devote the right amount of time needed for our patients, we do not rush dermal filler injections, so you will not find the “15-minute non-surgical Rhinoplasty” here. Our doctors prepare each filler for each patient and they do not follow a cookie-cutter approach. You can expect to be in our office for about one hour and will have time to ask all your questions.  Typically filler in the nose is done in conjunction with filler placed in multiple other areas in the face at the same appointment.

During your non-surgical nose job, a topical, as well as injected anesthetic, will be applied so you should expect only minimal pain and discomfort.

After the injection, you may experience swelling and minor bruising which should resolve in a few days. We recommend VitaMedica’s Arnica, and Bromelain supplements to reduce any swelling or bruising that may occur. Your Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty will provide you with many months of naturally beautiful results that will complement your face and help you achieve your desired look.
