A non-surgical rhinoplasty may be the ideal way to alter the appearance of your nose. If you have a minor nose flaw, you may not need surgery to achieve the look you envision but can achieve a more attractive nose shape with a custom liquid nose job. This approach may be ideal if you have a minor nose shape issue rather than a more extreme structural problem.
What can a non-surgical rhinoplasty do?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty involves the meticulous injection of dermal filler to camouflage minor nose flaws. The filler injections can subtly alter the appearance of your nose without a scalpel, stitches, or a long recovery time. As the filler will eventually be absorbed, maintaining the changes will require regular treatments. You may want to try this approach before committing to a surgical rhinoplasty, as it allows you to see how a change in shape will look.
Who is a candidate for a non-surgical nose job?
You could be a good candidate for this non-surgical approach to nose reshaping if:
- You are unhappy with a smaller hump on the bridge of your nose.
- Your nose tip has a slight droop.
- You had a rhinoplasty that has a minor irregularity.
- You don’t have available time for a surgical procedure and recovery.
