What is nonsurgical rhinoplasty?

You may have heard of nonsurgical rhinoplasty referred to by its nicknames “liquid nose job” or “15-minute nose job.” A nonsurgical rhinoplasty is actually a dermal filler procedure that changes the shape of your nose for up to 6 months.

Going under the needle is certainly less complicated than going under the knife for a nose job.

How much does it cost?

Costs vary depending on what kind of filler you choose, the provider you choose, and how many injections you need. You should receive a detailed cost breakdown from your Dermatologist after your consultation so you know what to expect.

How does it work?

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty uses dermal filler ingredients to change the shape of your nose.

A gel-like injectable ingredient (usually hyaluronic acid) is inserted underneath your skin in the areas where you wish to create smoother lines or volume.Sometimes Botox is also used.

The filler ingredient settles into where it’s injected in your deeper skin layers and holds its shape. This can change the look of your nose for anywhere from 4 months to 3 years, depending on your skin, your desired results, and the ingredient used.

What’s the procedure like?

The procedure for liquid rhinoplasty is fairly simple, especially compared to surgical rhinoplasty.

After a consultation where you discuss your desired results, your doctor will have you lie down with your face tilted up. You may have a topical anesthetic applied to your nose and the surrounding area so you won’t feel pain from the needle.

After the anesthetic takes effect, your doctor will inject the filler into the area around your nose and maybe the bridge of your nose itself. You might feel a slight pinching or pressure while this is done.

The whole process can take from 15 minutes or less to 45 minutes.

Targeted areas

A nonsurgical rhinoplasty targets the bridge, tip, and sides of your nose. Fillers can be injected around any part of your nose to modify its shape.

This procedure works well if you want to:

smooth out small bumps in your nose
make the tip of your nose more prominent
add volume to your nose
lift the tip of your nose

Additionally, if you have a mild prominent bump of the bridge of your nose, it can camouflage it and smooth the contour of your nose profile.

Risks and side effects

For most people, the only side effect of liquid rhinoplasty they’ll see is a little redness and sensitivity in the area of the injection in the day or two after the procedure.

Other possible side effects include:

bruising at the site of the injection
swelling
nausea

A trained and careful plastic surgeon will tend to err on the side of using less filler in your nose rather than overfilling the area.

What to expect after treatment

After liquid rhinoplasty, you may see pain, swelling, and redness where your injection was inserted. Within an hour or two, the injection should start to settle. The redness should start to subside, and you’ll be able to better see your desired results.

Bring an ice pack to use after your appointment. Ask your doctor if it’s OK to use it to minimize redness and inflammation.

Results should be fully visible within a week or two. Redness or bruising should completely subside by then.

As far as downtime, people who swear by liquid rhinoplasty love that there’s practically no recovery time. You can be back to work and your normal activities the very same day.

Most filler ingredients will dissolve into your skin layer within 6 months. Some filler ingredients will last up to 3 years. No matter what, results of a liquid nose job aren’t permanent.
