Liquid rhinoplasty is a non-surgical procedure that uses dermal fillers to reshape and smooth the nose, offering temporary enhancements with minimal downtime.
What Is Liquid Rhinoplasty?
Also known as a nonsurgical rhinoplasty, a liquid rhinoplasty uses injectable dermal fillers to reshape the nose. In many cases, a temporary filler called hyaluronic acid (HA) is used for this procedure. This material is naturally found in the body, supporting its long history of safety in the industry. Along with the nose, it’s commonly used in other areas of the face, such as the chin, cheeks, and lips. At Facial Plastic Surgery of Central Texas, Dr. Guy uses 3-D imaging software to show patients what’s possible through fillers and other treatments. Often a vital part of the preliminary process, this technology offers several benefits for those seeking a nose job, such as:
- Visualization: It helps patients see what subtle changes to their nose can do for their overall look.
- Clarity: This technology helps the doctor fully understand what the patient hopes to achieve through a liquid rhinoplasty so he can recommend other services, if necessary.
- Confidence: Nose augmentation is a difficult decision for many patients – this software helps people feel more confident in their choice.
The effects of these fillers are not permanent, but this technique is especially effective for correcting certain nasal humps, helping drooping tips, and refining the tip of the nose. The results of the filler are immediately noticeable and can last for over a year.
