Non-Surgical Nose Job Explained

A non-surgical nose job is a quick yet effective way to improve facial and nasal aesthetics. Non-surgical rhinoplasty, or liquid rhinoplasty, uses dermal filler injections to reshape your nose. The injections create a more defined, proportional look.

Dr. Robert H. Cohen offers non-surgical rhinoplasty as a safe, effective alternative to plastic surgery. Patients get subtle, natural-looking results without surgery, general anesthesia, or a long recovery.

How Does Liquid Rhinoplasty Work?

The procedure can be completed in about 20 minutes or less in a safe and comfortable office setting. The filler injections usually contain a local anesthetic, lidocaine, so you will not experience any significant discomfort during the treatment.

We call it a “20-minute nose job” with no specific post-treatment downtime.

After closely evaluating your nose and facial anatomy, we will create a customized injection plan involving FDA-approved dermal fillers and possibly a neuromodulator such as Botox.

The filler gel will be injected precisely into the targeted areas below the dermis to modify the nasal shape in the desired manner or straighten a crooked nose.

To create an upturned nasal tip, the Dr. may inject the filler gel directly into the skin tissue in that area to add volume. Botox may be part of your liquid rhinoplasty procedure to smooth the visible bunny lines. Once the injection process is completed and the filler gel settles into the deeper tissue, the Dr. will expertly massage the treated site to reshape your nose.

Aesthetic Benefits of Filler Rhinoplasty

A non-surgical nose job can help in a variety of ways. Concerns related to a misshapen nose can be skillfully addressed through filler rhinoplasty. These concerns encompass:

Creating a Raised Nose Bridge

If you wish to correct a low nasal bridge, we can use dermal filler gel in precise volumes to build up the bridge. Patients of African American or Asian descent often request a non-surgical ethnic nose job to boost a lower nose bridge.

Correcting a Dip in the Nose Bridge

For many patients, non-surgical rhinoplasty works well to correct a conspicuous divot or dip in the nose bridge. If you are bothered by this aberration in your nose, we can add a custom combination of dermal fillers to your nasal structure and smooth out the dip.

Reducing the Appearance of a Nose Bump

While a liquid nose job will not remove a nasal bump or hump, adding volume to the area surrounding the bump is possible. This will create the effect of a smooth, straight nose and enhance your nasal contour. This technique can easily correct minor humps or bumps in the nose.

Improving Nose Symmetry and Balance

Asymmetrical nose is a common concern for many patients. Dr. Cohen will assess the extent of asymmetry and other aesthetic irregularities and use the right facial fillers to volumize the target areas precisely. This will give the effect of a symmetric and balanced nasal structure.

Botox To Correct a Droopy Nose Tip

Botox has many versatile applications, including to help correct the position and appearance of the nose. This non-surgical procedure works by relaxing the depressor septi nasi muscle, which is responsible for pulling the tip of the nose downward.

How It Works

The procedure involves injecting Botox into the depressor septi nasi muscle at the base of the nose. This can be done in a quick office visit, typically taking about 15 minutes. The relaxing effect takes a few days to occur, and the results can last 3-4 months before the treatment needs to be repeated to maintain the appearance.

Effectiveness Considerations

It’s important to note that Botox is most effective for droopy noses caused by muscle movement. If a nose looks downturned because of the underlying structure, such as the cartilage and bone, treatment options like a liquid rhinoplasty could be the best option.

Consultation Recommended

Before deciding on Botox, it’s recommended to consult with a cosmetic physician to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. They will assess whether your downturned nose is being caused by muscle movement or the underlying structure.

One way to determine this is to say “Peter” in front of a mirror and watch whether your nose dips downward. If it does, then the muscle is likely responsible and can be treated with Botox.
