About Liquid Rhinoplasty
A liquid rhinoplasty reshapes the nose with injectables that add volume beneath the skin. This treatment can alter the nose’s shape, improving the appearance of bumps and/or asymmetry without surgical intervention. It can also improve the appearance of the nasal tip and define the shape of the nose for a sharper profile. Liquid rhinoplasties can also help patients visualize the aesthetic enhancements that can be achieved with surgical methods. The treatment has gained popularity in recent years due to its simplicity and remarkable outcomes, making it one of the most requested cosmetic injectable treatments across various demographics. (1)
Types of Fillers
Several types of fillers can be used during a liquid rhinoplasty. The most common fillers include:
- Hyaluronic Acid-Based (HA) Fillers: Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the body; it adds volume and hydration to the skin, making it a popular choice for liquid rhinoplasty procedures.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers: This is a thicker filler that restores volume to the skin by stimulating collagen production with tiny microspheres.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA) Fillers: This filler improves the appearance of deeper folds and wrinkles with microspheres that also raise your skin’s collagen levels.
The best type of filler for your needs will depend on your medical history and aesthetic goals. Contact our office online or call (310) 584-9990 to consult with one of our specialists and learn more about the best treatment options for your aesthetic goals.

Preparation & Treatment Process
The preparation process for a liquid rhinoplasty will look different for each patient. However, this is a relatively straightforward procedure that requires minimal preparation on the patient’s behalf. Any necessary pre-treatment steps will be given to you at your consultation.
Nurse Injector Sherry Sanvictores will begin your procedure by preparing the treatment area. She will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. She will use various fillers along the nasal bridge to conceal bumps and add volume to the tip or other areas based on the treatment plan you discussed during your consultation. The entire process usually takes around 15-30 minutes, making this a great treatment option for busy patients.
After Your Treatment
After your liquid rhinoplasty, you can expect mild bruising or tenderness in the treatment area, which typically subsides after a few days. Most patients can return to their regular activities after their appointment as long as they avoid excessive sun exposure and intense physical exercise. We will let you know when you can return to regular exercise; we typically recommend waiting 24-48 hours before resuming this kind of activity. You can enjoy some of the results of a liquid rhinoplasty almost immediately, although some swelling may be present temporarily. Certain fillers may work to contribute to nasal adjustments over time rather than immediately.
Results
The results of a liquid rhinoplasty are typically noticeable after your treatment and can last for more than a year, depending on the type of filler you receive. Certain fillers, like CaHA fillers, work to provide enhancements primarily over time, by increasing the production of collagen in the skin. HA fillers, on the other hand, provide near-immediate results by binding to water molecules in the skin to effectively increase volume beneath the skin of the nose.
If you would like to maintain your results, we recommend returning for a touch-up treatment every 6-18 months; this period of time may vary depending on the injectables you receive. Nonsurgical rhinoplasty procedures are often associated with high patient satisfaction rates. (2) After a liquid rhinoplasty, you can enjoy improved facial balance and an increase in self-esteem.
