Don’t love the way your nose looks? The good news is that you’ve got surgical and non-surgical options to help you get the shape, size and symmetry you want. This brief guide will help to answer your questions about a non-surgical nose job, including how long it lasts, and help you determine if a surgical or non-surgical rhinoplasty could be right for you.
What Is a Liquid Nose Job?
A liquid nose job uses injectables like BOTOX® and/or dermal fillers to temporarily change the shape, size or symmetry of your nose. If you’re considering rhinoplasty for purely cosmetic reasons, taking this non-surgical route might be worth your while, especially if you’re not entirely sure you want to permanently change your nose just yet.
If you’re struggling with a medical condition such as a deviated septum or breathing problems, a surgical nose job will likely be the most effective solution.
Whether you go surgical or non-surgical, picking an experienced plastic surgeon is key to getting great results.
Pros and Cons of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
One of the biggest perks of a liquid nose job is the fact that it doesn’t take nearly as long as a surgical procedure, and you won’t have extensive downtime afterward. Plus, if you’re not entirely committed to permanently changing your nose, this can give you a nice preview of what your results could look like.
On the other hand, if you’re hoping for a permanent change, a non-surgical nose job may not be the best fit. Depending on the type of filler used, your non-surgical nose job results could last around 1 to 2 years before gradually wearing off.
