What Is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as the "liquid nose job," is a procedure that enhances the appearance of the nose using hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane®, Juvederm®, or Perlane®. This treatment can smooth out humps, straighten the nose, and create more balance and symmetry. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, non-surgical rhinoplasty offers immediate results with minimal downtime—making it an ideal option for many patients.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Immediate Results: One of the main advantages of using hyaluronic acid fillers is that you’ll see results instantly. You’ll have the opportunity to visualize the potential outcomes, making it easier to decide whether to proceed with surgical rhinoplasty in the future.
Quick and Convenient: Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a fast, in-office procedure that typically takes 20-30 minutes. Most patients can return to their normal activities right after treatment.
Non-invasive: No incisions, no general anesthesia, and minimal discomfort.
Temporary and Customizable: If you’re unsure about making permanent changes to your nose, this non-invasive procedure offers a temporary option with results that last for several months.

Dr. Paul Leong, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, has extensive experience performing non-surgical rhinoplasty in NYC. He is committed to ensuring a comfortable and tailored experience for every patient.

What to Expect During the Procedure

A non-surgical rhinoplasty usually takes 20-30 minutes to complete in-office. Here's what you can expect during your treatment:

Anesthesia: Before starting, Dr. Leong will apply a local anesthetic or numbing cream to the nose to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Injection: Once numb, Dr. Leong will use a fine needle to inject the hyaluronic acid filler into specific areas of the nose, such as the bridge, tip, or any asymmetrical spots.
Adjustments: One of the unique advantages of this treatment is that you can give feedback throughout the procedure, allowing for precise adjustments to achieve the desired look.

While swelling and redness are common immediately after the procedure, these typically resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Most patients feel comfortable enough to return to work right after the treatment.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Ideal candidates for non-surgical rhinoplasty are individuals looking to:

Smooth out a nasal hump
Improve symmetry between the left and right sides of the nose
Refine the shape of the nasal tip
Straighten a deviated septum
Enhance the profile of the nose

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a great option for those who are looking for temporary improvements to their nose shape or for individuals who aren’t quite ready for surgery. This procedure is particularly beneficial for teenagers or young adults who haven’t yet reached the ideal age for a surgical rhinoplasty but still want to improve the appearance of their nose.

How Long Does Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Last?

Results from non-surgical rhinoplasty typically last between 6-12 months, depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism. The body gradually absorbs the hyaluronic acid, causing the nose to return to its original shape over time.

Can Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Make My Nose Look Smaller?

While non-surgical rhinoplasty doesn’t reduce the size of the nose, it can make the nose appear smaller by:

Strengthening the bridge: Adding volume to the bridge can create a straighter profile, making the nose appear more defined and proportional.
Narrowing the tip: Filling certain areas around the tip can give the appearance of a smaller nose by narrowing the angle or making the nose look more refined.

This treatment can be especially effective for those seeking to refine their ethnic nose or correct minor imperfections that make the nose appear more prominent.

How Much Filler Will Be Used, and Is the Procedure Painful?

The amount of filler required depends on the extent of correction needed. Dr. Leong will evaluate your needs and discuss a customized treatment plan during your consultation. The procedure is generally not painful due to the use of numbing agents like lidocaine, which is applied to the area prior to injections. Most patients describe the sensation as mild and tolerable. If you're concerned about discomfort, please let Dr. Leong know, and he'll ensure you're as comfortable as possible during the procedure.

Why Choose Restylane® Over Other Fillers?

Dr. Leong prefers Restylane® for non-surgical rhinoplasty due to its smooth consistency and natural-looking results. Restylane® is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that is easily administered and does not cause lumps or bumps.

Additionally, Restylane® has the unique advantage of being reversible if needed, which provides peace of mind to patients. Other fillers, like Radiesse® and Artefill®, are less flexible and can be more difficult to reverse if adjustments are necessary.
