The Pros and Cons of Liquid Rhinoplasty

In today’s world, where updates are common and trends circulate quickly, commitment is a difficult thing to…well, commit to. And if you don’t want to even wear a brand for more than a year, imagine changing something on your face? Luckily, a non-surgical, or liquid, rhinoplasty at my practice, Carolina Facial Plastics, in Charlotte can now help you try out a new nose.

Pros

Minimally Invasive

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is performed in our Charlotte, NC office. Minimally invasive surgeries mean faster recoveries and have a reduced risk of potential complications.

No Anesthesia

Does not require anesthesia. Aside from a slight pinch-like feeling at the injection site, the procedure is essentially painless.

Quick Procedure and Easy Recovery

A major appeal of a nonsurgical nose job is that there is no downtime. After your procedure, you can continue with your daily routine with little to no bruising or swelling. Not only are there little to no side effects, risks, or complications, but you will also be walking out of our office with your new nose. Yes, it’s that easy and the results are immediate.

More Affordable

Surgical rhinoplasty can be expensive because of the addition of a facility and anesthesia fee, plus the cost of taking off work for the recovery period. Surgery can also have complications, when not performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, which can add a second revision rhinoplasty to the original cost. Since, as mentioned before, nonsurgical rhinoplasty is an in-office procedure that requires no anesthesia and no downtime, it is much more affordable. You can review the cost of both surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasty here.

Reversible

One of the best parts of a nonsurgical nose job is that it’s reversible, which eliminates the need for procedures to correct any complications. That means you can “try on” a new nose and, if you don’t like it, you just wait for the HA fillers to dissolve over time. Or, if you don’t want to wait, I can even dissolve the HA for you in just a few minutes.

Cons

Unrealistic Expectations

The reality is that social media is edited to perfection, which is why it’s difficult to know what’s real or not. Many people see nonsurgical rhinoplasty in the media and expect the impossible from this procedure, which only leads to disappointment. In reality, it has limitations that only a surgical rhinoplasty can accomplish.

Only Fixes Certain Problems

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty cannot reduce nose size and cannot fix breathing problems, such as a deviated septum. Only a surgical nose job can correct issues that require modifying cartilage, such as:

• Deviated septum
• Twisted nose
• Reduction of any part of the nose or the whole nose
• Re-alignment

Temporary Results

While the reversible aspect of a liquid rhinoplasty may be a benefit, it is also a downside because you will need a yearly touch-up. That’s why some people opt for a permanent traditional rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty continues to be the most popular cosmetic surgery performed each year. Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is a procedure that gives patients the option to try out a new nose or ease into a surgical nose job. With this procedure, you don’t have to commit to permanent results or to the time that surgery takes.
