What is Liquid Rhinoplasty?

A Non-Surgical Nose Job

Liquid rhinoplasty is an alternative to surgical rhinoplasty to change the shape of the nose. Many patients opt for non-surgical nose job treatment to avoid the longer recovery periods associated with surgical rhinoplasty and the risks that come along with surgical intervention.

In addition, patients may opt for non-surgical rhinoplasty to first experience the effects of a nose job before committing to more permanent and invasive treatment.

Liquid Rhinoplasty is a Nose Job with Dermal Fillers

Liquid rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers to alter the shape of the nose, improving the appearance of the bridge of the nose, bumps, and drooping nasal tips. In doing so, the nose appears smaller and smoother.

Benefits of a Non Surgical Rhinoplasty

Minimally Invasive Procedure

A non surgical rhinoplasty requires only injections, which means no incisions are necessary and the treatment requires no downtime. The surgical alternative requires weeks of downtime for incisions to heal and inflammation to subside, and will create some permanent scarring.

Instant, Natural Looking Results

A crucial benefit of non surgical rhinoplasty is that its effects are immediate, so you can see the adjustments to the shape or size of your nose straight away. When performed by an experienced practitioner, the effects are noticeable but also natural-looking, so the transformation of your nose will feel in tune with the proportion and contours of your face.

Affordable & Accessible

Surgical rhinoplasty can often cost between £7000-£10,000 in the UK, so the cost of non surgical rhinoplasty (starting from £690 at the CREO Clinic) is significantly less without compromising on the quality of results. The treatment can be performed quickly and painlessly with minimal disruption to your routine and social life.

Drawbacks of a Non Surgical Rhinoplasty

Temporary Results

The results of a liquid rhinoplasty tend to last between 12-24 months, compared to the permanent effects achieved by surgical rhinoplasty. After the filler begins to break down, maintenance injections will be necessary.

Many patients prefer a liquid rhinoplasty precisely because the results are temporary. Temporary results allow patients to ‘try out’ an adjustment to the nose – hyaluronic acid fillers can be adjusted using filler dissolver, or patients can simply wait for their body to break down the filler and allow their nose to return to its original shape.

Limited Scope of Treatment

While non surgical rhinoplasty can address many aesthetic issues, such as prominent bumps, asymmetry or a drooping nasal tip, it may not be suitable for more complicated issues involving the structure of the nose such as physical damage or a deviated septum. A non surgical procedure also cannot reduce the size of your nose.

What is the Procedure for a Liquid Rhinoplasty?

Preparation for the Procedure

Prior to treatment, you will undergo a consultation, where we will ensure your suitability for liquid rhinoplasty by thoroughly assessing your nose and the aesthetic goals you wish to achieve with nose filler.

If you are deemed suitable for treatment, you will need to make several preparations:

No alcohol or ibuprofen 48 hours before treatment
Avoid wearing makeup for 24 hours after treatment
Allow time for any side effects to subside before booking big social events after treatment

How Dermal Fillers Are Injected

First, we will mark the skin to determine where dermal filler is to be inserted to achieve the desired look. A numbing cream may be applied if desired to ensure your comfort throughout treatment. A fine needle is then used to carefully insert the filler into the nose targeted areas.

Recovery Process

A non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure requires no downtime, meaning you are able to return to your daily activities straight after treatment. You should, however, follow the aftercare guidance provided to minimise side effects and ensure a smooth recovery, including:

Avoid touching the face or applying makeup for the first 12 hours to reduce the risk of infection
Avoid exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol consumption for the first 48 hours after treatment
Do not massage the treatment area for the first three days
Do not undergo chemical peels, laser, or skin treatments for 7 days

Possible Side Effects

After non-surgical nose reshaping, you may experience some side effects, such as bruising and swelling, as well as skin sensitivity in the treatment area. These side effects are usually mild and should gradually subside as the body heals.

How Long Does A Non Surgical Rhinoplasty Last?

The longevity of non surgical rhinoplasty results can vary from person-to-person, but in the experience of our aesthetic team, the effects last between 12-24 months.

After this point, ‘top up’ injections will be needed to maintain the effects. If no maintenance injections are performed, the hyaluronic acid filler naturally breaks down and is absorbed by the body.

What Are Dermal Fillers Composed Of?

Hyaluronic Acid

At the CREO Clinic, we use hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers for non-surgical rhinoplasty treatment. Hyaluronic acid draws in water to the skin, making it a great option for adding volume, definition, shape, and hydration to the skin. In addition, hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body, making the risk of allergic reactions extremely low.

Hyaluronic acid is also preferred as its effects can easily be reversed. Hyaluronidase can be injected to break down and dissolve HA if patients are not happy with its effects.

Who Is A Good Candidate for Liquid Rhinoplasty?

Patients in good health who wish to treat minor imperfections such as small bumps on their nasal bridge and mild nasal tip drooping are good candidates for a liquid nose job.

In addition, non-surgical rhinoplasty is a great option for patients who want to avoid the downtime associated with surgical rhinoplasty or who want to see what their nose could look like before committing to the results achieved with permanent surgical rhinoplasty.

Cost Comparison: Liquid Rhinoplasty vs. Traditional Surgery

A non-surgical nose treatment is notably a cheaper option than surgical treatment. At the CREO Clinic, the price of non-surgical rhinoplasty starts from £690, with financing options available to spread the cost of treatment.

For surgical rhinoplasty, patients can expect to pay significantly more, with prices starting from £7,000 – £10,000.

However, it’s important to note that the results from surgery are permanent, whereas liquid rhinoplasty requires repeated treatments to maintain the results every 12-24 months.

Liquid Rhinoplasty FAQs

How long does liquid rhinoplasty last?

You can expect the results from nose filler treatment to last between 12-24 months, after which you may opt to repeat treatment to maintain the results.

Do I need to stop medications before the procedure?

We will ask you about any medications you are currently taking prior to treatment to ensure your eligibility. You will also need to stop taking ibuprofen in the 48 hours before treatment to minimise the risk of bruising and swelling.

What nasal issues can liquid rhinoplasty address?

Non-surgical nose jobs can help with non-surgical nose reshaping to treat dorsal humps, increase the height of the nasal bridge, and/or reshape the nasal tip.

Is the liquid rhinoplasty procedure painful?

Liquid rhinoplasty should not be painful, though topical anaesthetic can be applied prior to treatment to numb the area and ensure your comfort throughout treatment.

How Long Does A Non Surgical Rhinoplasty Take To Heal?

There is minimal downtime from a non surgical rhinoplasty, and most patients find themselves able to return to work the same day, although they should follow some recovery steps to ensure the best results.

Is A Non Surgical Rhinoplasty Reversible?

Yes, a non surgical rhinoplasty can be reversed using filler dissolver – this breaks down the hyaluronic acid filler and restores your nose to its original shape and size.
