What Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Non-surgical rhinoplasty (also called liquid rhinoplasty) is a minimally invasive nose reshaping procedure that uses injectable fillers to refine the nose’s shape without surgery. It doesn’t actually reduce bone or cartilage but can improve contours, balance angles, and smooth bumps.

✨ Quick, no incisions
✨ Minimal downtime
✨ Immediate results

What It Can Improve

Non-surgical rhinoplasty can help with:

✔ Smoothing a dorsal hump (bump)
✔ Lifting a droopy nasal tip
✔ Refining tip shape
✔ Improving symmetry
✔ Softening irregular contours

It’s best for people seeking shape refinement rather than major size changes.

How It Works

1. Consultation & Evaluation
   A provider assesses your nasal structure, goals, and proportions.
   Your facial balance and breathing are discussed.
2. Targeted Injections
   Carefully placed hyaluronic acid (HA) filler adds volume where needed — such as:
3. • Bridge to camouflage a hump
   • Tip to refine shape
   • Sidewalls to improve symmetry
4. Immediate Results
   You’ll often see the changes right away.
5. Adjustment & Balance
   Small corrections can be done in the same session to perfect balance.

No general anesthesia — only topical or local numbing for comfort.

What Results Look Like

✔ Instant enhancement of nasal contours
✔ Subtle, natural-looking lines and angles
✔ Better overall facial harmony

Some swelling or redness may appear initially, but the refined shape is visible right after treatment.

How Long It Lasts

Results are temporary, typically lasting:

📆 6–12+ months (varies by filler type, metabolism, lifestyle)

Repeat sessions help maintain the improvement.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates typically:

✅ Want refinement not reduction
✅ Are okay with temporary results
✅ Have realistic expectations
✅ Have nasal shape concerns like a slight bump, minor droop, or asymmetry

It’s not suitable if you’re seeking major structural reduction of bone/cartilage; surgical rhinoplasty is better for that.

What It Can’t Do

❌ Remove bone or reduce nose size
❌ Correct very large humps dramatically
❌ Fix breathing issues caused by internal anatomy
❌ Replace surgical rhinoplasty for major reshaping
