(FAQs) about Liquid Rhinoplasty
Liquid rhinoplasty can address a variety of nasal concerns, including dorsal humps, asymmetry, flat nasal bridges, droopy nasal tips, and mild nasal deviations or irregularities.
Liquid rhinoplasty offers several advantages over surgical rhinoplasty, including minimal downtime, no anesthesia or incisions, less risk of complications, and the ability to achieve temporary results without committing to permanent changes.
The results of liquid rhinoplasty are temporary and typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle habits.
Discomfort during liquid rhinoplasty is usually minimal, as numbing cream or local anesthesia is applied to the treatment area before the injections. Patients may feel a slight pressure or stinging sensation during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated.
There is minimal downtime after liquid rhinoplasty, and most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
While liquid rhinoplasty is considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced provider, there are potential risks and side effects, including swelling, bruising, asymmetry, infection, and allergic reactions to the filler. These risks should be discussed with the treating provider before undergoing the procedure.
In most cases, the results of liquid rhinoplasty can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers. However, reversal may not be necessary if the filler naturally dissipates over time, and the effects wear off.
