Surgical rhinoplasty vs liquid rhinoplasty? (Photo)

You would definitely need a surgical approach to achieve these results. Your tip cartilages need to be reduced and sutured, and your nasal bones brought in for the thin look.

Hello and thank you for your question! Choosing between surgical and nonsurgical rhinoplasty depends on individual goals, anatomy, and preference. Surgical rhinoplasty provides permanent results and can make comprehensive changes to nose shape and structure, such as reducing size or correcting a deviated septum. However, it requires longer recovery time, has higher costs, and carries greater risks associated with surgery.

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty, using injectable fillers, offers a quick and less expensive option with minimal downtime. This option is best suited for minor adjustments, like smoothing a bump or lifting the nose tip, but the results are temporary, usually lasting 6-18 months. While generally safe, nonsurgical rhinoplasty has limitations and cannot fix structural issues or reduce nose size.

Ultimately, surgical rhinoplasty is more suitable for those wanting significant, permanent changes, while nonsurgical rhinoplasty works well for individuals seeking subtle, reversible adjustments. Consulting a qualified aesthetic provider can help determine the best option. Best of luck! Genie Alexander, RN BSN for Anna Petropoulos, MD FRCS at Center for Classic Beauty, Danvers & Boston, MA

Based on your computer Imaging, you appear to have a narrower appearance to the upper middle and lower thirds of your nose. Adding filler to your nose would only result in a larger nasal appearance. In that regard, I suspect you may be a better candidate for rhinoplasty surgery in order to meet or exceed your expectations. Thank you for this question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
