The desire to improve the appearance of the nose is common and understandable, as the nose is a central feature of the face. Traditional rhinoplasty using surgical methods has been the only option for years for those wanting to correct aesthetic issues with their nose. However, advancements in modern aesthetic medicine have brought the method of Liquid Rhinoplasty to the forefront, also known as "non-surgical rhinoplasty." SYMMETRIA®, with the assistance of experienced and specialized ENT & Plastic Surgeons, offers this modern and popular option to its patients.

What is Liquid Rhinoplasty?

Liquid Rhinoplasty is a technique for correcting the shape and appearance of the nose using hyaluronic acid fillers. Instead of surgery, this method allows the correction of small or larger imperfections with injectable treatment. This technique can address issues such as correcting the nasal hump, improving the nasal tip, and other asymmetries.

Who is it for?

Liquid Rhinoplasty does not replace surgical rhinoplasty, especially in cases where there is a functional or breathing problem. Instead, it is aimed at patients who wish to correct aesthetic issues without undergoing surgery. It is ideal for those seeking a solution with immediate results and minimal recovery time.

Why choose it?

Liquid Rhinoplasty offers significant advantages compared to traditional surgical rhinoplasty. The procedure is brief, lasting only 20 - 30 minutes, and the results are immediately visible. Additionally, it is very well tolerated by patients, as a local anesthetic cream is applied before the treatment. One of the greatest advantages of non-surgical rhinoplasty is the minimal recovery time. Patients can return immediately to their daily activities without needing to take time off work. Post-treatment restrictions are minimal and include avoiding glasses that press on the nose for a few days and refraining from intense exercise or contact sports for a short period.

The Procedure and Results

• The process begins with a detailed medical examination of the nose by an ENT or Plastic Surgeon and informing the patient about the possibilities and limitations of the technique to achieve it safely.
• After the treatment, patients return for a follow-up visit.
• Although the results of non-surgical rhinoplasty are not permanent, their duration is satisfactory, as the treatment typically needs to be repeated after 12 - 18 months, depending on the patient's needs.
  
  
  
  
  

SYMMETRIA®'s scientific collaborator, Dr. George Roukis MD, ENT - Head and Neck Surgeon and member of the European Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery, specifically states: "Liquid Rhinoplasty is an excellent option that provides harmonious results to the appearance of the nose and the face overall. Immediate, painless, and with minimal recovery time. It should always be performed by specialized ENT or Plastic Surgeons, with expertise in the specific technique."
