Getting a new look in less than 15 minutes is absolutely sounds good. However liquid rhinoplasty is not suited to everyone. This article will cover the comparison of liquid rhinoplasty and traditional rhinoplasty to help you to have an idea. 

What is Liquid Rhinoplasty and Who Can Get?

A liquid rhinoplasty, or non-surgical rhinoplasty, is the injection of dermal fillers into the nose to alter its shape. The ideal candidate for liquid rhinoplasty is someone who has small nasal bumps and slightly droopy tips. And also, patients who have had a rhinoplasty in the past and have minor irregularities postoperatively are the best candidate for liquid rhinoplasty.

What to Expect After Liquid Rhinoplasty?

With the results are immediate, results are temporary. Although the quick result is an advantage, in some cases the temporary result can be considered as a disadvantage. One of the advantages is you can return to work the same day. Since there’s no anesthesia, you’re also awake and conscious during the entire procedure.

What is Surgical Rhinoplasty?

In some cases, liquid rhinoplasty does not give the desired result. In such cases, the surgeon prefers surgical rhinoplasty to provide the best long-term. There are two techniques a surgeon can use to perform your rhinoplasty; open vs closed technique.

How Surgical Rhinoplasty is Done?

The nasal tip and middle portion of the nose treat with an open rhinoplasty. It involves the use of a small bridging incision to link incisions to the right and left nostrils. The bridging incision enables the upward folding of the nasal skin thereby providing complete access to the lower nasal skeleton. 

In a closed rhinoplasty procedure, the surgeon hides the incisions inside a patient’s nose. It involves modifications performed inside the nostrils. The surgeon recommends a closed rhinoplasty for patients who require nasal bridge modifications.

The technique that your surgeon will suggest after the examination will be the most correct technique for you.

In surgical rhinoplasty since you’re going under the knife, there are more risks than liquid rhinoplasty. On the other hand, unlike a liquid rhinoplasty, the results are permanent. The other disadvantage is in addition to longer recovery time, final results could take up to a year as the swelling settles.

Which Nose Job is Right for You?

Firstly, you should have realistic expectations. It does not mean that if a particular nose shape looks good on one person, then it would suit you as well. It is important to approach these procedures with individual circumstances in mind. 

Before scheduling rhinoplasty, your surgeon will examine your facial features and the inside and outside of your nose. The facial features of the patient should be evaluated and a nose that is compatible with the face shape and looks natural. 

Recently, liquid rhinoplasty has become a popular choice for those looking to avoid going under the knife. As with any procedure, there are pros and cons. As an example, results may appear right away, but you’ll have to undergo regular treatments to protect your look. However, liquid rhinoplasty is a safe and efficient nonsurgical alternative to traditional rhinoplasty. But, the most important thing is, make sure you find a board-certified surgeon to perform the procedure for the best results.
