Liquid Rhinoplasty
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be injected into the nose to alter its shape. This is a great option for patients that have isolated deformities of their nose (i.e., dorsal hump or minor asymmetries), may not be ready to have surgery, want instant results or cannot take significant time off work. Results are seen instantly and can last 9-18months.
