Preparing for Liquid Rhinoplasty
Preparation for liquid rhinoplasty involves a consultation at our plastic surgery practice in Columbia, MD, where one of Dr. Mess’s aesthetic providers will assess your facial features and determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Ideal candidates are those looking for cosmetic rejuvenation and improved nasal contouring without the need for nose surgery. We will review your medical history, discuss any breathing problems or previous rhinoplasty surgeries, and help you set realistic expectations for your results.
The Liquid Rhinoplasty Procedure
During the procedure, a dermal filler is injected into specific areas of the nose to reshape and enhance its appearance. These injections can smooth bumps, fill depressions, and create symmetry without requiring any incisions. Your provider will use precise techniques to ensure natural-looking results that complement your facial structure. The entire process typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, with little to no discomfort.
Liquid Rhinoplasty Recovery & Results
One of the key advantages of liquid rhinoplasty is the minimal downtime. Patients can resume most activities immediately after the procedure, although minor swelling or bruising may occur. Results are visible right away, with full outcomes developing over the next few days as swelling subsides. While the results are not permanent, they can last anywhere from six months to two years depending on the type of filler used. Liquid rhinoplasty can offer a preview of potential outcomes for patients considering future aesthetic plastic surgery procedures like traditional rhinoplasty.
