Depending on the nose feature you're hoping to change, nonsurgical rhinoplasty might be a way to "try on" a new nose before committing to surgery. Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is a procedure in which we use dermal filler to simulate bone structure. It is often referred to as "liquid rhinoplasty".

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty works best for correcting minor imperfections of the nose. The ideal candidate is someone with a noticeable bump or crooked bridge. Filling the area around the bump creates the illusion of a perfectly straight nose. This treatment cannot reduce a large hump on the bridge of the nose, or make the nose wider or narrower.

At Visage Facial Plastic Surgery, we use the brand Radiesse for most nonsurgical rhinoplasty treatments. For a safer treatment, Dr. Patel uses blunt cannulas instead of needles. The injection process itself takes less than 5 minutes and a full correction may be accomplished in one to two treatments with little downtime. Keep in mind the results are temporary, lasting up to a year. If rhinoplasty surgery is desired after liquid rhinoplasty, you must wait for all of the filler to dissolve before undergoing that procedure.

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is temporary and has its limits for what it can achieve. Rhinoplasty surgery is the ideal solution for most people who seek to change the shape of their nose. Visit this page to see how Dr. Patel is able to change each common nose shape concern with rhinoplasty.

"Dr. Patel has a very friendly, non-intimidating approach. He encourages questions and comments to achieve a positive outcome. The injections were spaced out by a few weeks to determine actual progress after swelling. I had Radiesse placed around a bump, resulting in a smoother profile." - Patient Review
