Is Liquid Rhinoplasty (Non-Surgical Nose Job) Right for You?
Posted April 3, 2023
Rhinoplasty, also known as a nose job, is a popular cosmetic procedure that can help reshape the nose and improve facial symmetry. However, traditional rhinoplasty is an invasive surgery that requires you to go “under the knife” and requires a significant amount of downtime. That's where liquid rhinoplasty comes in. This non-surgical nose job is a minimally invasive procedure that can help improve the appearance of the nose without the need for surgery. In this article, we'll explore whether liquid rhinoplasty is right for you.
What is liquid rhinoplasty?
Liquid rhinoplasty, also known as a non-surgical nose job, is a cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers (and sometimes accompanied by injectable toxins like Botox®) to reshape and contour the nose. During the procedure, a board-certified medical practitioner will inject dermal fillers into specific areas of the nose to improve its shape, size, and symmetry.
The fillers used in liquid rhinoplasty are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps to hydrate and plump the skin. Some of the most commonly used fillers for liquid rhinoplasty include Juvederm, Lyft, Restylane, and Radiesse.
The results of liquid rhinoplasty are temporary and typically last for 6-24 months, depending on the type of filler used. However, the procedure can be repeated as needed to maintain the desired results.
Is liquid rhinoplasty right for you?
Liquid rhinoplasty can be a good option for patients who are looking to improve the appearance of their nose without the need for surgery. However, it's important to note that liquid rhinoplasty is not an outright 100% replacement for traditional rhinoplasty surgery.

It's important to note that liquid rhinoplasty may not be the right option for all patients. During your private consultation at Beauty BOMB Aesthetics, our board-certified medical practitioner, who is internationally recognized as a Master Injector and trained by world-renowned plastic surgeons and injection specialists, will assess your individual needs and goals to determine whether liquid rhinoplasty is right for you.
What to expect during the procedure
If you decide to undergo liquid rhinoplasty, the procedure will typically take place in our comfortable and private medical spa setting. Before the procedure, our board-certified practitioner will numb the treatment area with a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort.
Once the area is numb, we will begin injecting the dermal filler into the specific areas of the nose that need to be treated. The injections are made with a very fine needle and are almost completely painless. Depending on the extent of the treatment, the procedure may take between 15 and 60 minutes.
After the injections are complete, the treatment area will be gently massaged to ensure that the filler is evenly distributed. You may experience some mild swelling and bruising after the procedure, but this should subside within a few days.
Following the procedure, you'll be able to return to your normal activities right away. However, you should avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours to allow the filler to settle into place.
How to maintain the results of liquid rhinoplasty
The results of liquid rhinoplasty are temporary and typically last for 6-24 months, depending on the type of filler used. To maintain the results, you may need to undergo repeat treatments once or twice a year.
In addition to repeat treatments, there are some steps you can take to help prolong the results of liquid rhinoplasty:

Liquid rhinoplasty can be a good option for patients who are looking to improve the appearance of their nose without the need for surgery. However, it's important to note that liquid rhinoplasty is not an outright 100% replacement for traditional rhinoplasty surgery.
Liquid rhinoplasty may be a good option for patients who:
- Have minor imperfections: Liquid rhinoplasty is best suited for patients who have minor imperfections in their nose, such as bumps, asymmetries, and curvatures. The procedure can help to smooth out these imperfections and create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
- Want to avoid surgery: Liquid rhinoplasty is a non-invasive procedure that requires no downtime, making it a good option for patients who want to avoid surgery. The procedure can be completed in as little as 15 to 30 minutes, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after.
- Have realistic expectations: While liquid rhinoplasty can improve the appearance of the nose, it's important to have realistic expectations about the results that can be achieved. Liquid rhinoplasty can create subtle changes in the appearance of the nose, but it cannot dramatically alter its shape or reduce its size.
- Are in good health: Like any cosmetic procedure, liquid rhinoplasty is safest for patients who are in good overall health and have no underlying medical conditions. Patients who have a history of bleeding disorders or are taking blood-thinning medications may not be good candidates for the procedure.
- Have access to a trained professional: Not all aesthetic injectors are trained or experienced in liquid rhinoplasties. This is considered an advanced injection technique that not only requires extensive facial physiological knowledge, but also a robust understanding of what makes an “attractive” nose shape and size for your face structure and proportions.

In addition to repeat treatments, there are some steps you can take to help prolong the results of liquid rhinoplasty:
- Protect your skin from the sun: UV rays can break down the filler and cause it to degrade more quickly. To protect your skin, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
- Avoid smoking: Smoking can also break down the filler and cause it to degrade more quickly. If you're a smoker, quitting can help prolong the results of your liquid rhinoplasty.
- Follow a healthy lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help prolong the results of your liquid rhinoplasty. Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and getting enough sleep can all help keep your skin looking healthy and youthful.
