Ever notice how some people just look like they have a perfect nose? Are you considering getting a nose job yourself? But what if you could change your nose without surgery? If you’re considering getting a nose job, but are too scared to go under the knife, a baby nose job, also known as a liquid rhinoplasty, might be your new best friend. Let’s break down everything from the pros and cons of liquid rhinoplasty, to how it actually works.
Think about how scary surgery is in general. If you’re nervous about going under the knife and having your nose completely changed forever, you are certainly not alone! A nose job, particularly with the help of a surgeon, is a major procedure, with no guarantee that you’ll end up with the exact results that you want. Instead, let’s look at how you can use botox and dermal fillers to change the shape of your nose more subtly.
How Does it Work?
Liquid rhinoplasty uses botox and dermal fillers to modify the shape of your nose. It’s a non-invasive procedure that you’ve probably already heard about before. Botox, when done carefully, can be incredibly effective against wrinkles and other visible signs of aging. To use it on your nose, however, you need to know how it works and how much you’ll need to inject to change the shape. Dermal fillers are also used in a baby nose job, with the most common being hyaluronic acid fillers.
A non-invasive rhinoplasty is most effective in filling depressed sections of the nose, elevating the angle of the tip or smoothing out the appearance of bumps on the bridge. The filler is injected around an existing imperfection like a dorsal hump or the curve of a crooked nose, which can make these problems effectively disappear. It can also reduce the size of larger noses, or even change the angle that the tip of your nose appears to be pointing.
Nose botox is a simple procedure that can tighten up the skin on the nose. Nose fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are made from hyaluronic acid, which helps to loosen and plump up your skin. Both of these options can make you look younger and more refreshed without structurally changing any part of your existing nose. Nose injections are quite subtle in comparison with other facial procedures, but when done correctly, can have dramatic results.
The Pros
The most obvious positive of this procedure is that there is no surgery. This means there is no recovery time and your results will be almost immediate. Liquid rhinoplasty is also extremely affordable in comparison to surgical rhinoplasty. Nose jobs, on the other hand, are not only painful and costly but require a long recovery period (which can interfere with your daily activities). A baby nose job is completely non-invasive and will cause almost no visible scarring or pain associated with surgery. Nose fillers are also more accurate when it comes to tweaking your nose than a scalpel would be.
It is also temporary, which gives you a chance to “test drive” a new nose shape before making a full commitment. Nose surgery, on the other hand, is permanent and cannot be reversed. The dermal fillers and botox used in a liquid rhinoplasty will dissolve naturally in 6 to 12 months, but can also be removed by getting the filler dissolved beforehand.
The Cons
This procedure, though effective, cannot be used to make structural changes. It is not a good procedure for someone who has functional issues, like breathing problems. A nose job is a better solution for these types of things. Liquid rhinoplasty is great for subtle changes, like lifting sagging skin and making a slightly larger nose appear smaller (without reducing overall volume). Nose jobs are more appropriate if you need major restructuring of the nose.
As with any procedure, there are risks associated with injecting fillers into your nose. The most common side effects are bruising and swelling, but overall it is still very safe. There can be an allergic reaction to the anesthesia used (which is very rare) or you can experience an infection at the site of injection. If you have underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes or a history of smoking, these may pose more risks than normal for this process.
If you aren’t happy with your nose, there are ways you can change it without going under the knife. This baby nose job will be able to transform your nose and have you feeling confident in your appearance again.
