Liquid Nose Reshaping
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, cosmetic surgery to change the shape and improve the look of one’s nose … called rhinoplasty … was the most popular surgery in 2020, with over 350,000 patients undergoing the procedure. However, a traditional rhinoplasty involves surgically reshaping the nose’s cartilage and inner bone, and can have a lengthy recovery period, which may include swelling and bruising.
While many people are unsatisfied with the look of their nose, they may not want to undergo surgery for what may be relatively minor changes. The solution is a minimally invasive procedure known as a Liquid Rhinoplasty or Liquid Nose Reshaping.
To perform Liquid Nose Reshaping, an experienced surgeon like Dr. Lo, injects dermal fillers into the nose, which smoothes its shape. It’s the perfect solution for those who would like to lessen the appearance of a dorsal hump, fix minor asymmetries, or refine the look of a previous rhinoplasty.
The dermal fillers used are the same ones used for other facial enhancements like lips and cheeks. The fillers are usually hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers like Juvederm or Restylane, both extremely safe and popular brands frequently used by Dr. Lo.
Patients find many advantages to Liquid Nose Reshaping::
The procedure only takes about 15 minutes, as compared to several hours for a traditional rhinoplasty
The results are immediate
Recovery time is minimal, with many patients returning to work the same day
Patients are awake throughout the procedure and can work with the doctor to achieve the desired result
Prospective patients should be aware that, by their very nature, injectables add volume to a nose, which is great for making it look more symmetrical; however, Liquid Nose Reshaping can not reduce the size of one’s nose. Only a traditional, surgical rhinoplasty can do that.
When considering a procedure like Liquid Nose Reshaping, it’s important to find a cosmetic surgeon who has the training and experience to ensure the best possible results. Mikel Lo, M.D., is highly qualified and will perform a Liquid Rhinoplasty that will give you a more attractive nose without lengthy surgery and recovery time.
