A well-balanced nose can complement your facial features and enhance your overall appearance. Liquid rhinoplasty is an ideal solution if you’re looking for subtle changes without surgery. Using injectable dermal fillers, liquid rhinoplasty can reshape, contour, and smooth the nose to achieve a more harmonious look. Dr. Judith Gurley offers liquid rhinoplasty in St. Louis, MO, to help you achieve the nose you’ve always wanted, with minimal downtime and natural-looking results. Liquid rhinoplasty is a delicate procedure that requires precision and understanding of facial aesthetics, both of which Dr. Gurley excels at. She will work with you to understand your aesthetic goals and carefully enhance your nose, ensuring the changes are subtle, natural, and tailored to your facial features.
Liquid rhinoplasty is a non-invasive procedure that uses injectable fillers, such as hyaluronic acid, to reshape and contour the nose. Unlike traditional rhinoplasty, which requires surgery, liquid rhinoplasty is a quick, minimally invasive alternative that can smooth out bumps, correct asymmetry, and refine the nose’s shape. The procedure is ideal for those who want subtle, temporary changes to their nose, with no need for incisions or a lengthy recovery period.
The procedure begins with a consultation, during which Dr. Gurley assesses your nose and discusses your goals. After determining the ideal filler for your needs, Dr. Gurley injects the filler into targeted areas of the nose to smooth out bumps, lift the tip, or straighten the bridge, depending on your desired outcome. The treatment usually takes 15-30 minutes and is minimally uncomfortable. A topical numbing agent may be used to ensure a pain-free experience. You’ll see results immediately, with no downtime required.
