As with any cosmetic procedure, the training, qualifications, and experience of the provider are the most important factors in achieving optimal and safe results. Board-certified plastic surgeons with experience in surgical cosmetic rhinoplasty have extensive knowledge in nasal anatomy and aesthetics and therefore are typically the most reliable, safe, and trusted source to help you decide if a non-surgical rhinoplasty with injectable fillers may be your best option.

Although injectable or liquid rhinoplasty can provide excellent and natural improvement in nasal shape and contour, it is temporary and not appropriate for more significant nasal imbalance or accompanying breathing issues. Surgical rhinoplasty by an experienced and qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon can provide long-lasting improvement in nasal shape, balance, and function as well as naturally complement the attractiveness of other facial features. For that reason, as well as safety, it is critically important to seek the advice and evaluation of a board-certified plastic surgeon that has experience and training in both surgical aesthetic rhinoplasty and injectable fillers.

The cost of injectable or liquid rhinoplasty will depend upon the type and amount of filler product needed to correct or enhance each patient’s individual concerns and anatomy. EVOLV Medical Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery has all FDA approved filler products that have passed extensive clinical testing and published studies. Dr Barone prefers and recommends hyaluronic based filler products for nasal shaping because of their proven safety and the ability, although rarely necessary, to dissolve the hyaluronic product if the desired result is not achieved. The typical cost for injectable non-surgical rhinoplasty therefore varies between $600 and $2500 depending upon the above factors. Each hyaluronic injectable product has its own unique characteristics including softness, lifting ability, flexibility, and duration, therefore an experienced aesthetic provider is paramount.

Absolutely not. The most attractive and natural appearing nasal shape in non-surgical as well as surgical rhinoplasty requires an understanding of individual aesthetics, ethnicity, female or male characteristics, as well as nasal anatomy which is why choosing an experienced aesthetic, board-certified plastic surgeon is the most important factor in meeting each patient’s goals and maintaining optimal safety with injectables. It is also extremely important for the provider to know which patient concerns and goals may benefit from a non-surgical procedure and which patients may best be treated with surgical aesthetic nasal shaping and correction.

One of the great benefits of injectable filler rhinoplasty is no significant downtime. Some swelling and redness is to be expected immediately after the injectable procedure and the extent will depend upon the amount of product needed as well as the specific area of the nose injected. Medication to minimize swelling and, very infrequently, any bruising, ice compresses, and elevation will help. Most patients can return to normal activities in 1 or 2 days. Camouflage makeup is available although not typically needed.

It should be remembered that non-surgical rhinoplasty with injectable fillers is always temporary and the result will fade at a rate depending on the type of hyaluronic filler utilized as well as the amount and location treated on the nose. Typically results will last for at least 6 to 9 months before starting to noticeably diminish in most patients. Injectable liquid rhinoplasty is also not appropriate for more significant nasal contour irregularities, curvature, and asymmetry and in those patients, surgical rhinoplasty should be considered for proper improvement and correction.
