Looking to refine the shape of your nose without surgery? Non-surgical rhinoplasty—also known as Liquid Rhinoplasty—is a modern, minimally invasive option that offers immediate results and zero downtime. At Metropolis Dermatology in Pasadena, we specialize in Liquid Rhinoplasty using advanced dermal fillers to deliver subtle enhancements that reshape the nose with precision. Whether it’s smoothing a dorsal hump or lifting the nasal tip, this treatment is ideal for those seeking visible improvements without the commitment of surgery.
What is Liquid Rhinoplasty?
Liquid Rhinoplasty is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses hyaluronic acid-based fillers to modify the nose’s contours and structure. It’s a great option for patients who want minor corrections to improve the appearance of their nose without the risks or recovery time associated with traditional rhinoplasty. Performed by experienced injectors, this advanced technique delivers a balanced, natural look while preserving your unique features.
How Does It Work?
By strategically injecting dermal fillers into specific areas of the nose, we can:
- Smooth visible bumps along the bridge
- Lift or refine the nasal tip
- Balance asymmetries
- Improve the side profile
This method adds volume to areas of need rather than removing tissue, making it ideal for aesthetic refinements—not structural changes.
Concerns That Liquid Rhinoplasty Can Address
This treatment can correct:
- Dorsal humps or small bumps
- Drooping nasal tip
- Uneven or asymmetrical nasal shape
- Minor post-surgical irregularities
Patients often use this as a touch-up option after surgical rhinoplasty, or as a trial solution before considering surgery.
Areas Treated
Liquid Rhinoplasty targets these key nasal zones:
- Bridge: Smooths dips and irregularities
- Tip: Lifts and contours
- Sidewalls: Improves symmetry and profile balance
- Asymmetrical zones: Adds volume where needed for correction
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatments are quick—usually around 30 minutes—and start with a consultation to map out aesthetic goals. A topical numbing agent is applied, and then the filler is injected precisely into selected areas of the nose. Most patients report only mild pressure or discomfort, and results are visible immediately. While some minor redness or swelling may occur, these side effects are typically short-lived.
How Long Do Results Last?
Depending on the filler used and your body’s metabolism, results may last 6 months to 1+ year. Maintenance treatments are recommended to preserve your refined shape.
Post-Treatment Tips:
- Avoid wearing glasses or applying pressure to the nose for 48 hours
- Stay hydrated and follow your provider’s skincare guidance
- Limit sun exposure to prevent swelling or pigment changes
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Liquid Rhinoplasty is well-suited for:
- Individuals seeking non-surgical nasal enhancement
- Patients with minor irregularities or volume loss
- Those who want to enhance the nose without permanent changes
- Anyone exploring their options before surgical rhinoplasty
Note: This procedure is not appropriate for major reshaping or structural concerns that require surgical correction.
FAQs
Does the treatment hurt?
The use of topical anesthetic makes the process very tolerable, with only minor pressure felt during injections.
When will I see results?
Most patients see instant improvements, with swelling resolving fully within a few days.
Can I combine this with other treatments?
Yes—Liquid Rhinoplasty is often paired with chin filler, jawline contouring, or Botox® for a more balanced facial outcome.
Is there any downtime?
There’s virtually no recovery time. You can return to most activities immediately.
Is this treatment permanent?
No. Fillers are temporary and naturally metabolized by the body, so regular touch-ups are needed to maintain results.
