Liquid Rhinoplasty

The Non-Surgical Nose Job

Tired of seeing a bump on your nose in your profile photos? Want to correct a minor imperfection but don’t want the commitment, cost, or downtime of surgery? At Barr Aesthetics, our Liquid Rhinoplasty, also known as the non-surgical nose job, offers an immediate and elegant solution to redefine and enhance your nose using injectable dermal fillers.

What is a Liquid Rhinoplasty?

Liquid rhinoplasty is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses specialized dermal fillers, most commonly made of hyaluronic acid (HA), to subtly alter the shape of your nose. Unlike traditional surgery, this procedure involves no incisions, no breaking of bone, and no general anesthesia. A skilled practitioner uses a tiny needle to precisely inject the filler, adding volume to specific areas to create the illusion of a straighter, more symmetrical, or lifted nose.

This procedure is perfect for:

  • Smoothing a Dorsal Hump: By adding filler to the areas above and below the bump, we can create a straight, smooth profile.
  • Lifting a Drooping Tip: A small amount of filler at the tip can create the appearance of an elevated and more refined nose.
  • Improving Symmetry: Filler can be used to correct minor asymmetries, giving the nose a more balanced look.
  • Refining a Flat Bridge: For patients with a flatter nasal bridge, filler can add projection and definition for a more contoured appearance.

Liquid Rhinoplasty vs. Surgical Rhinoplasty: What’s the Difference?

It’s important to understand that non-surgical and surgical rhinoplasty are designed to address different goals. While liquid rhinoplasty is a powerful tool for correction, it cannot make your nose smaller or fix structural issues like breathing problems.

Your experience at Barr Aesthetics begins with a personalized consultation where we discuss your goals and determine if you are a good candidate. We can even use computer imaging to simulate potential results, ensuring we are aligned with your expectations.

The procedure itself is quick, typically taking only 15-30 minutes. After applying a numbing cream, your practitioner will carefully inject the filler into the targeted areas of your nose. The results are immediate, so you can walk out of our office with a noticeable improvement.

Safety and What to Expect

Liquid rhinoplasty is considered a low-risk procedure, but it is an art that requires a deep understanding of facial anatomy. This is why it is essential to trust your treatment to a certified, highly trained practitioner. Our team at Barr Aesthetics has the expertise to ensure your safety and provide natural-looking results.

After your treatment, you may experience some minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. We advise

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results last?

The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and the specific area treated. On average, effects can last 9 months to 2 years.

Yes. If you are treated with hyaluronic acid fillers, we can use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler and reverse the effects almost instantly.

No. While Botox can be used to subtly raise a drooping nasal tip by relaxing a muscle, it is a neuromodulator, not a filler. A true liquid rhinoplasty relies on dermal fillers to add volume and reshape the nose.
