Benefits of Liquid Rhinoplasty
Liquid Rhinoplasty offers a revolutionary approach to nose reshaping without the need for surgery. This minimally invasive procedure uses injectable fillers to alter and enhance the nasal shape, providing instant and noticeable results. Perfect for those seeking a quick, painless solution to improve their nasal profile, Liquid Rhinoplasty stands as a flexible and convenient alternative to traditional rhinoplasty.
What is Liquid Rhinoplasty?
Liquid rhinoplasty is a noninvasive procedure that improves the appearance of the nose without surgery and with less downtime. Dr. Bustillo’s extensive experience with surgical rhinoplasty allows him to perform this procedure and achieve excellent results.
Have you heard of the “filler nose job?” If not, it’s time to catch up. Whether you refer to it as a liquid nose job, non-surgical nose job, or injectable rhinoplasty, the term refers to a non-surgical technique that utilizes dermal fillers instead of nasal surgery to reshape the nose, which may sound more appealing to many patients.
Though the technique is newer than traditional rhinoplasty, it has been performed for many years. It has several advantages that make it an alluring alternative, but a non-surgical rhinoplasty does not offer all the benefits of a surgical nose job.
Consulting with a highly qualified surgeon, like Miami facial plastic surgeon Dr. Andres Bustillo, will help you determine the best approach for your individual needs.

Who is a Good Candidate for Liquid Rhinoplasty?
Dr. Bustillo will examine you during the consultation to determine if you are a suitable candidate. Ideal candidates have a nose with a mild to moderately-sized nasal hump or a moderately droopy tip.
Those who are not seeking a permanent solution, are unsure about getting surgery, are looking for a more cost-effective option, or are considering the procedure as a trial before committing to surgery, may also be good candidates for a non-surgical nose job.
While liquid rhinoplasty can address these issues, noses with very large humps or significantly droopy tips are best treated with surgical rhinoplasty. As an expert in surgical rhinoplasty, Dr. Bustillo can assess your needs and recommend the best treatment option for you.

How Is A Liquid Rhinoplasty Performed?
Liquid rhinoplasty is a quick and efficient procedure performed in an office setting. The entire process takes about 15 minutes, making it a convenient option for those seeking immediate results with minimal downtime and minimal pain. The effects of the liquid rhinoplasty typically last between 12 to 16 months.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how the procedure is performed:
A topical numbing cream is applied to the nose for about 10 minutes to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
The nose is thoroughly cleaned to prepare the injection sites for the dermal filler injections, ensuring a sterile environment.
The filler is carefully injected onto the bridge of the nose, particularly focusing on the area above the hump to create a straighter profile. Additional filler is injected into the tip of the nose to provide support and lift.
The results of the liquid nose job are visible immediately after the injections. Patients rarely experience any bruising from the procedure.
The Pros and Cons of Liquid Rhinoplasty
Facial fillers work just as their name implies: they fill. This means that not all patients are candidates. The only real option for change is through augmentation. If a portion of the nose or all of the nose must be reduced in size, fillers are not an option. Furthermore, any significant deformities or nasal obstruction can only be treated with a surgical procedure.
Dr. Bustillo, an expert in both non-surgical and surgical rhinoplasty, emphasizes the importance of an initial consultation to discuss individual goals and realistic expectations. He highlights that while facial fillers can provide a temporary solution, they are not suitable for everyone. Fillers used to modify the appearance of the nose are temporary, lasting from a few months to about a year, depending on the product used.
Some patients may prefer a more permanent solution that does not require multiple visits to the surgeon’s office every year, while others may see the temporary nature of the liquid rhinoplasty procedure as one of its biggest benefits and a way to “try out” potential results before committing to a traditional nose job. It’s important to understand that injecting material into the nose may result in scarring that can make future surgical rhinoplasty more difficult.
The reality is that the use of fillers in the nose is relatively new, and thus, little is known about the consequences ten years or more down the road. For those with prominent features or specific concerns, consulting with an experienced professional like Dr. Bustillo is crucial to ensure the best possible outcomes and to understand the potential long-term effects.
Choosing Between Liquid and Traditional Rhinoplasty
Permanent nose reshaping is a benefit only traditional rhinoplasty can offer. While dermal fillers do not take very long to inject, the prospect of returning for touch-ups every few months is not convenient for everyone. Additionally, because the results do fade, the appearance of the nose is not consistent.
The cost of one injectable treatment is indeed less expensive than rhinoplasty surgery, but over time the expense of multiple appointments at which injections are made in the nose will accrue.
The cost of rhinoplasty is not ongoing unless a revision is desired.
Other limitations that non-surgical rhinoplasty has are the inability to narrow the cartilage, reshape the nostrils, or reduce the size of the nose. The procedure will also not be able to improve problems with function. Patients who have these concerns must rely on rhinoplasty, which can effectively address these and other conditions. To truly get to the root of the problem, open or closed rhinoplasty surgery is best, especially when breathing is affected.
