Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty New York City

Introduction to Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty/Liquid Rhinoplasty

A rhinoplasty is one of the most individualized plastic surgeries due to the impact the nose has on our facial features. Any small change to the nose can immediately change the entire face, and a surgical procedure often makes this change permanent. As a result, many patients choose to explore a non-surgical rhinoplasty to evaluate the changes made to their overall profile in lieu of or before electing to undergo a permanent rhinoplasty procedure. At Lao Plastic Surgery on 5th Avenue in New York City, Dr. William Lao brings his specialist expertise to non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures so his patients can comfortably evaluate the benefits of a different nose without undergoing surgery.

What is a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

A non-surgical rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure using dermal fillers to temporarily reshape the nose’s appearance, oftentimes it is also called a liquid rhinoplasty. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking to add volume or enhance their nose, slightly alter their nose shape, or make other minor changes. While a non-surgical rhinoplasty has limitations compared to a traditional rhinoplasty, it is useful for patients seeking a non-permanent change in their appearance.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?

Dr. Lao recommends patients in NYC explore a non-surgical rhinoplasty if they meet the following characteristics:

Seeking a non-permanent alteration to their nose’s appearance
Non-smokers
Are of good health
Are of adult age (between the ages of 18 – 65)
Have realistic expectations of what a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure can accomplish.

What’s the First Step?

Please get in touch! You may fill out a contact form on our appointment page, and a concierge team member will contact you to schedule your consultation with Dr. William Lao. Dr. Lao will evaluate your nose and recommend what a non-surgical rhinoplasty can accomplish with your features and the best filler for you. Please be prepared to discuss your medical history, as this can impact your healing and recovery from the procedure. If you and Dr. Lao both agree to a treatment plan, you will be scheduled to receive a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure.

What to Expect on the Day of a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Treatment

When you arrive for your non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure, Dr. Lao will evaluate your nose again and mark the areas to be enhanced or reshaped. Once you are ready, your face will be cleansed and prepped to receive dermal filler injections, along with any local anesthetic, to ease any discomfort. Dr. Lao will then carefully inject the filler in specific targeted areas to increase volume or contour the nose until the desired effect is achieved. Once the procedure is complete, the area will be massaged to allow the filler to settle. Dr. Lao will evaluate the finished result to ensure it is to your satisfaction.

FAQs

Is a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Painful?

Patients receiving a non-surgical rhinoplasty may experience some mild tenderness following the filler injections, though this can be managed by massaging the area or applying a cold compress until the side effect reduces. On average, most patients are able to return to their normal activities shortly after their procedure with minimal discomfort.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The exact number of appointments will be determined based on the amount of filler used and the extent of the procedure required to deliver the desired results. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not permanent, so patients are advised to return for touch-up appointments to maintain their look over time.

I feel very blessed and fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet such a talented young Doctor. I am 57 year old female. In December 2014, I had a facial procedure done. My eyelids top & bottom and face was lifted. I am 100% satisfied with the results. People see me and they say I look 10 years younger. My confidence level is off the charts. I can’t say enough about Dr. William Lao. He was kind, considerate, compassionate and caring. We had open communication through emails & telephone calls. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Lao, considering I interviewed 8 different plastic surgeons. Dr. Lao, is a graduate of Johns Hopkins Medical School which is one of the finest institutions in the world. Dr. Lao I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

I have uneven eyelids result from a previous double eyelid surgery years ago. One day I decided to have it corrected. Prior to meeting with Dr. Lao, I was on the verge of giving up the idea of surgery since the first Doctor I saw told me that my situation is not treatable. Consultation (which is free) with Dr. Lao was easy and pleasant. Dr. Lao told me that my problem can be easily solved with minimum invasive suture technic. That is exactly what I had hoped for!! As a plastic surgeon, I think Dr. Lao possesses a great deal of aesthetic sense, as well as good medical skills. At the meeting, he pointed out that my upper eyelids are sunken, a fat grafting procedure would enhance my appearance, so we decided to have both procedures done at the same time. I am so glad I did it, because the surgery had transformed my eyes. A couple of weeks after the surgery, the eyes looking natural, the result is beyond anything I had expected. I love my new eyes! This entire process is so easy. I am so grateful!

Dr. Lao’s attention to my hopes for an improved appearance resulted in just the outcomes I desired. I asked for a forehead lift which he executed beautifully. At his suggestion, I also received an eyelid enhancement wherein the area was refreshed with fat from my abdomen to create a more youthful appearance. The results are amazing.

Further, he went above and beyond when I hit a snag in arranging for post procedural care and helped me arrange for a home attendant. His care was thorough, thoughtful and sensitive to my individual needs. I highly recommend his services.
