What is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty or Liquid Rhinoplasty?
While only a surgical rhinoplasty can reduce the size of your nose, a non-surgical rhinoplasty can add volume to your nose for a more refined appearance, possibly more narrowed appearance, and help smoothen contour irregularities. This is achieved with dermal fillers including Juvéderm Voluma or Restylane Lyft, which are both hyaluronic acid fillers. The main benefit of a non-surgical rhinoplasty is the enhanced shape of your nose without the need for surgery and its associated risks and downtime.
A non-surgical rhinoplasty can achieve the following:
- Smooth small irregularities in the bridge of the nose.
- Build up the bridge for a more narrowed and refined appearance.
- Add volume to the nose.
- Create a more refined nasal tip.
- Lift the tip of the nose.

How is the Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Procedure Done?
Because each client has their own specific aesthetic goals, the amount of filler used may differ from person to person. Dr. Walker will help you determine which filler is best for you, as well as how much filler is needed to achieve your desired result.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed in Dr. Walker’s office with a topical anesthetic. Dr. Walker will precisely inject the perfect amount of filler into specific locations of your nose using a very small needle. The filler will add volume under the skin leading to a refined and reshaped nose appearance. After approximately six weeks, you will return for possible enhancement. Results tend to last 12-18 months depending on which filler was used. The fillers that Dr. Walker uses for liquid rhinoplasty are reversible and can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which is an important safety consideration. Should you be uncertain about wanting to undergo a non-surgical rhinoplasty, the reversibility of the filler may be an aspect to be taken into consideration.
Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Recovery
Because this procedure is non-surgical, there is no downtime! In fact, you will be able to see an immediate change in the look of your nose. Mild redness, minimal bruising, and swelling are possible but should resolve within a few days, sometimes up to a week, rarely more. Ice packs can help the swelling to dissipate. Makeup can be applied immediately after your procedure to camouflage any possible bruising. Be sure to avoid rubbing or massaging the nose during healing, as this could move the fillers into an unsatisfactory position. Results from a non-surgical rhinoplasty typically last 12-18 months. If you wish to maintain your results, touch up appointments are necessary.
