Your nose is your face's most prominent feature. It is your facial "centerpiece." Perhaps you'd like to change the appearance of your nose, but you don't want invasive surgery, and you don't want visible surgical scars. For many people, there are new and attractive options for achieving the results you desire. Let's talk about "liquid rhinoplasty" and "scarless rhinoplasty."
Rhinoplasty is any medical procedure that alters the appearance of your nose. Traditionally, rhinoplasty has been performed using invasive surgery.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty avoids the need for incisions and tissue trauma, instead using injectable filler materials to change the structure of your nose temporarily. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is sometimes referred to as "liquid rhinoplasty" or a "liquid nose job."
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is similar to any other injection procedure. The technique uses dermal fillers (usually hyaluronic acid), which are injected underneath your skin to modify and smooth your nose contours.
Dips and bumps on the bridge of your nose can be corrected. The treatment can also be used to correct:
Nonsurgical rhinoplasty has become the preferred option for a rapidly growing number of patients and specialists.
You'll be able to see the difference in your nasal structure immediately. In addition, non-surgical rhinoplasty has a very high rate of patient satisfaction.
Scarless rhinoplasty, often called "closed" rhinoplasty, is a surgical procedure. But unlike traditional "open" rhinoplasty, which involves external nose incisions and can create visible scarring, scarless rhinoplasty employs incisions made inside the nose.
Scarless or "closed" rhinoplasty is usually performed as outpatient surgery, using either local or general anesthesia. Also known as "endonasal rhinoplasty," the technique uses specialized and minimally invasive telescopes to guide your surgeon in reshaping your nose.
Liquid rhinoplasty is ideal for people who want to smooth out nasal bumps or create a less angular appearance.
Scarless rhinoplasty candidates should be in good general health, with no chronic conditions that might elevate surgical risks. Non-smokers are greatly preferred.
Cosmetic rhinoplasty of any kind should never be performed on anyone whose nose has not yet reached its full size.
Safe and effective rhinoplasty requires a high level of surgical skill, training, wisdom, and precision. Ask straight questions. Expect to get straight answers.
