Rinoplastia liquida

The liquid rhinoplasty is best suited to treat minor dorsal humps and asymmetry of the nasal tip. It will not provide correction of severe dorsal humps. We have used this technique to treat nasal fracture deformities and deformities following prior rhinoplasty.

Any patient interested in a liquid rhinoplasty will first present for a consultation. If the concern is felt treatable by filler alone then the following will occur: Topical lidocaine will be placed on the nose for approximately 10 minutes. Following this, the area of concern is treated with small amounts of filler, this is typically done from the top of the nose down to the tip of the nose. Either Restylane – L or Juvederm is typically used. At the end of the procedure, you will be asked to stay for observation for 10 minutes to ensure there are no issues that need to be addressed. You will be asked to return to the office in two weeks for a second touch up procedure where small amounts of filler may be added to address any slight deficiencies. You will likely need to return for treatment in approximately 1 to 2 years. The exact duration of correction is not completely predictable and each patient will vary

Risks of this procedure include bruising, bleeding, infection of the filler, need to dissolve the filler and injury to the skin over the nose. People who have had prior rhinoplasties are at increased risk for these complications. Patients should avoid sunglasses and pressure on the site for approximately 2 weeks.
