Your nose is one of the more prominent features of your face, so it is hard to ignore if it does not quite match your vision of yourself. Thankfully, you have options for achieving your aesthetic goals.
When considering rhinoplasty, often called a nose job, you can choose between liquid rhinoplasty and surgical rhinoplasty. Our world class plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Brandt, can help you choose the right procedure for you.
Surgical rhinoplasty is often the traditional choice. During the procedure, you will be under general anesthesia. Our skilled surgeon, Dr. Brandt, will perform a series of incisions to access the structures of your nose. Then, they will shape the bones or cartilage of your nose to create the look you desire. In some cases, they may even relocate cartilage or bones from other parts of your body to help provide the necessary structure. Once the surgery is complete, you will wake up in a recovery room and begin the traditional recovery process, which includes check-ups to monitor your healing progress.
There are many benefits to consider with surgical rhinoplasty. Since you will be under anesthesia, you can combine it with other procedures, allowing multiple surgeries in one appointment, such as pairing it with a facelift. Plus, the results are long-lasting, so you will not need frequent follow-ups to maintain the look you love. While many people choose surgical rhinoplasty for aesthetic reasons, it can also help correct breathing issues and structural concerns, making it easier for you to breathe.
Liquid rhinoplasty is a non-surgical option for gaining your ideal aesthetic. Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, liquid rhinoplasty is a temporary solution. It is often used to address concerns like a dorsal hump or drooping nasal tip. Dr. Brandt will inject dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, into your nose to help reshape and contour it. A liquid rhinoplasty could even enhance results from a surgical rhinoplasty.
Liquid rhinoplasties are quick, typically taking around 15 minutes to complete, with immediate results. Since there is no surgery involved, you will have minimal recovery time. You can jump back into your daily routine immediately after the procedure, while surgical options require time off for recovery. Plus, if you are not completely happy with your results or if a complication occurs, you can receive an injection to dissolve the filler, making it as though you never had it done.
The best candidates for any procedure are those who have realistic goals and expectations. It is also important to be generally in good health. Liquid rhinoplasty is great for those looking to address minor concerns, while surgical rhinoplasty is ideal for someone seeking more significant changes or needing to correct breathing issues. Our knowledgeable plastic surgeon, Dr. Michael Brandt, can help you determine whether liquid or surgical rhinoplasty is a good match for you.
