Temporary and Adjustable Results
What is a Liquid (Non-Surgical) Rhinoplasty ?
A liquid (non-surgical) rhinoplasty is a procedure that uses injectable fillers, like hyaluronic acid, to alter the shape of the nose without the use of surgery. This method is ideal for addressing minor imperfections such as smoothing bumps, lifting the tip, or correcting asymmetry. It is a quick, minimally invasive treatment with no incisions and little to no downtime.
How Long Does a Liquid Rhinoplasty Last?
The results of this procedure are temporary, typically lasting six to 12 months, and can be adjusted or reversed if desired. Liquid rhinoplasty is a popular option for those looking to make subtle changes to their nose without making the commitment to traditional surgery.
Procedural Details of a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
During this procedure, injectable dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, are used to reshape the nose. The procedure begins with applying a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. The filler is then injected into targeted areas of the nose, such as the bridge, tip, or sides, to smooth out bumps, lift the tip, or correct asymmetry.
The treatment usually takes about 30 minutes and has minimal downtime. Patients may experience some swelling or bruising afterwards, but this usually subsides within a few days. Results are visible immediately, and the effects typically last 6 to 12 months.

Post-Operative Care after a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Bandages
Bandages are not usually required after a non-surgical rhinoplasty. The injected areas may be gently massaged if necessary, but there’s no need for external bandages.
Showering & Washing
You can shower as usual, but avoid applying direct pressure on the nose. Be gentle when washing your face and avoid rubbing the treated areas.
Sleep
You can sleep in your usual position following this procedure, however it’s recommended that you do not put direct pressure on your face for the first 24-48 hours to avoid affecting the results.
What to Avoid After a Liquid Rhinoplasty
- Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours.
- Refrain from using makeup on the nose for the first 24 hours to prevent irritation.
- Avoid exposure to extreme heat, such as saunas or hot showers, for the first few days.
- Refrain from making vigorous facial expressions or activities that could cause swelling.
Activities & Exercise
Light activities can be resumed immediately, but for the first few days it is best to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that could cause excessive swelling or put pressure on the nose.
General Healing
Most swelling and bruising will subside within a few days. You can expect the final results to be visible immediately after treatment, though it may take a few days for any minor swelling to fully resolve. The results typically last 6 to 12 months, with touch-ups required to maintain the desired look.
Potential risks and complications after non-surgical rhinoplasty
Although non-surgical rhinoplasty is generally safe, there are some potential risks and complications, including bruising and swelling, or a small risk of infection at the injection sites. Rare cases of vascular occlusion have been reported in the literature. Dr. Zelhof is available to answer any questions you may have before the procedure, so you can feel confident every step of the way.
How Much Does a Liquid Rhinoplasty Cost?
The cost of a liquid rhinoplasty starts at $1,100, with the cost varying due to factors such as the amount of filler used.
Though not every nose shape can be adjusted with this treatment, liquid rhinoplasty offers several advantages, especially for those seeking non-permanent, less invasive options. It is a quicker procedure with little-to-no downtime, typically taking only 15-30 minutes and is ideal for addressing minor imperfections like smoothing bumps, lifting the tip, or correcting asymmetry, without the need for general anesthesia or long recovery periods. The results are reversible and usually last for six to 12 months with adjustments possible over time. Unlike a traditional Rhinoplasty, where the results are permanent, touch-ups may be required to maintain the original appearance,
