Noses are personal….and characteristic. Centrally placed on the face, they provide a unique signature to our own face and an extremely important functional unit to the facial silhouette.   Our face should look great from all angles and with expression. The same is true for the nose.   Very small changes can make a huge change in the appearance of the nose where mere millimeters matter.

Nasal shape has traditionally been treated with surgery, a procedure called rhinoplasty. Larger noses, dorsal humps, bulbous tips, narrowed nostrils, drooping nasal tips, and deep-set noses can all be addressed by an adept surgeon.   In some cases, these challenges can also be addressed with correctly chosen and placed injectable fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane. Used in an off-label manner, hyaluronic acid fillers can restore shape, contour, and even function to the nose without surgery. Small asymmetries following rhinoplasty are often also amenable to treatment with injectable dermal fillers.

While not permanent, nonsurgical rhinoplasty offers a no downtime, nonsurgical, and economic solution for some aesthetic concerns of the nose. A higher risk area to inject, liquid rhinoplasty should be performed by a highly-skilled and experienced physician after proper patient education.
