If you're unhappy with your nose and thinking about getting a nose job you're probably a little leery. Rhinoplasty is one of the most requested cosmetic procedures in the United States, but it's scary to think that someone is going to permanently alter the center of your face. If you're hesitant about going under the knife, you have non-surgical nose job options that are becoming the latest trend. 

What Is The Liquid Nose Job?

The liquid nose job is so appealing because you see results immediately with no downtime. The procedure involves injectable fillers that not only bring the cost down but give you a more natural look. A liquid nose job is not for everyone. It's intended for those who want to add to their nose instead of shorten the length or make the width smaller. Surprisingly, injectable fillers can create the illusion of a new shape to your nose. Here is what a liquid nose job can correct:

Nose Bumps

A liquid nose job can't remove a bump, but it can fill the area surrounding it to even it out. The result is a smooth straight bridge of the nose. This is a good option for those who are self-conscious about their profile. If you have a large bump your plastic surgeon will likely recommend surgery. 

Low Bridge

A low nose bridge is when the slope of your nose sits below or level with your pupils. A liquid nose job can correct this by adding injectable filler to raise the nose bridge up higher. 

Symmetry

Liquid nose jobs are very effective at correcting symmetrical irregularities. Specific areas can be filled in to make your nasal structure appear straighter and more symmetrical. 

Divot In The Bridge

A divot or dip in the bridge of the nose is a very common issue. Fillers work well in correcting divots in the nose because they add volume to straighten out the bridge. 

Hyaluronic acid is the most used filler for non-surgical nose jobs because it's the thinnest. Other fillers are too thick to manipulate and provide natural results. Liquid nose jobs are not permanent. It works the same as if you had fillers injected into your face. Fillers last typically between 6 months to a year.
