How Long Does Liquid Rhinoplasty Last?

Liquid rhinoplasty, a non-surgical nose job, enhances the shape and contour of the nose without surgery. This quick, minimally invasive procedure uses filler to smooth out bumps, lift the nasal tip, and create a more balanced facial profile, all in under an hour. However, one thing to note is that, unlike traditional rhinoplasty, the results are not permanent. So, how long does liquid rhinoplasty last?

At Altos Oaks Plastic Surgery, our board-certified plastic surgeons combine advanced techniques and artistic precision to deliver elegant, natural-looking results, whether through surgical or non-surgical treatments, such as liquid rhinoplasty.

The Typical Duration of Results

The longevity of liquid rhinoplasty results depends largely on the type of filler used. Most providers use hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Juvederm or Restylane, which typically last from six months to two years. Over time, your body naturally breaks down the filler, causing the treated area to gradually return to its original appearance.

What Affects Longevity?

• Metabolism: Those with faster metabolisms may notice their filler dissolves more quickly.
• Filler Type: Different hyaluronic acid fillers (such as Juvederm® or Restylane®) have varying densities and longevity.
• Injection Technique: The skill of your injector greatly impacts how natural and long-lasting your results appear.
• Treatment Area: Areas of the nose that move less tend to retain filler for a longer period.
• Lifestyle Factors: Sun exposure, smoking, and overall skin health can affect how quickly your body breaks down the filler.
• Maintenance Treatments: Regular touch-ups can help preserve and extend your results over time.

Maintaining Your Results

While liquid rhinoplasty isn’t permanent, its temporary nature can actually be an advantage. It allows you to “test drive” changes before committing to surgical rhinoplasty or make subtle adjustments over time as your preferences evolve. To extend your results, you can:

• Avoid excessive sun exposure
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle
• Schedule maintenance treatments as your provider recommends
