Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty - What is it?

Not all nasal defects need to be corrected with traditional surgical rhinoplasty. Many defects, contour irregularities, or imperfections of the nose can be corrected with an injectable filler. We call this the Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty.

In our practice, we only use liquid injectable silicone for this as it is permanent and precise. Silicone is ideal for this and gives great results. However, it must be injected by an experienced physician who uses the proper injection technique which is the micro-droplet injection technique. Other fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm are temporary, therefore requiring repeated treatments, and are not as precise, giving less natural-looking results.
