Do you wish you could change the shape of your nose without having to get surgery? It might sound like a dream, but the liquid nose job has made it a reality.
Using strategic placement of dermal fillers, plastic surgeons can eliminate the appearance of bumps, making the nose more symmetrical and even hide poor results from plastic surgery. While fillers have been in use for decades, using them for non-surgical rhinoplasty is newer. If you are considering one, you need to be certain your doctor knows what they’re doing. But how can you evaluate their work?
Focus on the Starting Point
Liquid nose jobs can help address certain cosmetic concerns related to the appearance of your nose without surgery.
When looking at liquid rhinoplasty before and after photos, it is easy to get caught up in the after. However, the before is where you need to put your focus, at least at first. Not everyone who gets a liquid nose job is looking to make significant changes, but if you are, you want a doctor who has done that type of work.
Compare Their Noses to Yours
Another thing to look for are patients whose noses look like yours. It is one thing for a doctor to correct a bump. It is another to add a tiny amount of volume to increase symmetry. When you see patients whose starting and end points mirror yours, you are talking to the right doctor.
Ask if Adding Volume Will Help
This one has less to do with before and after photos and more to do with your own nose. However, seeing these photos can help put this into perspective. Unlike a surgical nose job, a liquid nose job can only add volume, not make the nose smaller. If what you are looking for in a non-surgical nose job is a slimmer profile, you’ll need to go the surgical route.
