Since the nose is located in the center of the face, even a slightly disproportionate or misshapen nose can, unfortunately, make it more noticeable to others. Those who are self-conscious about having large nostrils, a narrow bridge, a hump on the bridge, or a crooked nose, have no way of hiding their insecurity, which is likely why rhinoplasty has become the second most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States.
Those who have been considering rhinoplasty for any amount of time may know that the cost can be high, they must plan for at least a week of downtime, and the final results can take up to two years to manifest. Although beautiful, permanent results can be achieved with surgical rhinoplasty at the hands of a top rhinoplasty specialist like Dr. Shah, Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery offers another option for cosmetic improvement: the non-surgical nose job.
A non-surgical nose job, also called a “liquid nose job,” can restore balance and harmony to the face without the need for surgery or downtime. There are no scars associated with the procedure, and results can be seen immediately. More and more people are choosing this option for temporary aesthetic improvement, including Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville, who chose the liquid nose job after she broke her nose in 2009. Non-surgical nose job patients like Glanville receive a “filler” injection such as RADIESSE®, Restylane®, or Artefill® to fill in areas of the nose that cause it to look narrow or misshapen. Since injections can only fill an area, the non-surgical nose job will not be effective to make a large nose appear smaller or to narrow wide nostrils. The non-surgical procedure is most effective for those who wish to make small improvements like correcting a small hump, straightening the nose, or raise the tip. In order to maintain results, subsequent injections will be necessary.
The rhinoplasty procedure, surgical or non-surgical, can restore balance and harmony to your facial features so that your beautiful eyes and smile are what others notice first.
