Liquid Rhinoplasty in New Jersey

Before your liquid rhinoplasty, you may be advised to avoid certain blood-thinning medications and supplements, as these can increase the risk of bruising after your injections. Included are NSAIDS, Aspirin, Vitamin E, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Ginkgo, Garlic, Ginger, and Black Cohosh.

A liquid rhinoplasty is a short, simple treatment that can be performed over one’s lunch break. The patient is fully awake and can go home right away after their injections. A topical anesthetic can be used to numb the skin, enhancing comfort. In addition, many fillers are formulated with lidocaine to ensure a stress-free experience.

After non-surgical rhinoplasty, patients may experience minor redness, bruising, or swelling that lasts from a few hours to a few weeks. Discomfort is minimal, but patients can opt to use an ice pack on the skin in order to alleviate any tenderness. Side effects are not typically noticeable enough that they would prevent the patient from immediately returning to work, school, or shopping.

Changes after a liquid rhinoplasty are not permanent, but they can last up to several years in some cases. Often a patient can use non-surgical rhinoplasty to “try on” nasal changes before committing to a surgical procedure with permanent results.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is considered more complex than other procedures using dermal fillers and should therefore only be performed under the guidance of a board-certified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Parakh. Risks may include fever, blurred vision, swelling, redness, and others.

The most popular fillers typically contain hyaluronic acid, a compound found naturally in the human body. These HA-based fillers include Juvederm and Restylane products, known for their efficacy and natural-looking results.
