With liquid rhinoplasty, Denver patients can effectively correct nasal imperfections without incisions or general anesthesia. At Smith Cosmetic Surgery & Medical Aesthetic Center, Dr. Cory Bovenzi can enhance the look of a patient’s nose non-surgically using dermal fillers. Please call Smith Cosmetic Surgery’s Centennial office at 303-741-2211 to schedule your liquid rhinoplasty consultation.
A liquid rhinoplasty procedure is quite simple, in that it involves no incisions or surgery of any kind and is only minimally invasive. At the same time, it is quite complex, in that it requires years of experience and a practiced eye.
During the treatment, soft-tissue dermal fillers are injected into key areas of the external nose. These injections deposit precise amounts of filler into the space between the skin and the cartilage/bone.
With nose fillers in Denver, Dr. Bovenzi can create subtle volume in the treated regions, reducing the appearance of various cosmetic nasal issues. This effectively enhances the overall look of the nose and the face.
Hyaluronic-acid-based injectables like Juvederm fillers, Restylane fillers, Perlane, Belotero, and Revanesse Versa are commonly used in liquid rhinoplasty, since their results can be reversed if needed.
Fillers composed of other substances, like calcium hydroxylapatite, are sometimes also utilized. However, since their results cannot be reversed, many doctors prefer to avoid using them. Doctors who use these other fillers do so conservatively in order to ensure optimal results.
Dr. Bovenzi is an excellent choice for your non-surgical nose job in Denver. He has years of experience as a facial plastic surgeon and is board-certified in otolaryngology (head and neck surgery).
Dr. Bovenzi has developed a deep knowledge of facial anatomy and has performed numerous surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasties, along with countless filler injections. Because of this, he is able to deliver nose filler injections safely and precisely. His results are very natural-looking and of the highest quality.
Most people are good candidates for a minimally invasive nose job. Patients looking to achieve rhinoplasty results without invasive surgery are ideal candidates. Additionally, patients who are interested in a preview of the results that surgical rhinoplasty could provide are fantastic candidates.
If you are not allergic to the ingredients in the chosen dermal fillers, you are an excellent candidate for liquid rhinoplasty in Denver. Patients must be comfortable with their results being temporary and must have realistic expectations.
Liquid nose job candidates must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Candidates with active skin infections at or near the nose will need to fully treat these before undergoing a non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure.
The price of liquid rhinoplasty at Smith Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetic Center is based on the details of each patient’s procedure, since every non-surgical nose job is different. The specific fillers that are chosen can have an impact on the overall cost, as can the amount of filler deposited and the aesthetic issues being addressed.
Patients can finance their liquid nose job with CareCredit. CareCredit offers financing plans to ensure that patients can afford this non-surgical facial-enhancement treatment.
Before the date of your liquid rhinoplasty procedure, you’ll be given instructions to follow. Follow these directions as diligently as possible.
You may be told to avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and certain herbal supplements for at least one week before the session. You may also need to temporarily change the dosage of blood thinners. Thinning the blood before a procedure increases the likelihood of bleeding and bruising.
It will help to stay hydrated and eat a healthy meal before your liquid rhinoplasty in Denver. Additionally, make sure to eat leafy vegetables in order to ensure that your vitamin K levels are high. This can minimize the severity of post-treatment bruising.
At the start of a liquid rhinoplasty treatment session, a topical numbing cream will be applied to areas of the nose. Ice may also be applied. If the nasal tip is receiving injections, a dental block may be used. Many fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic. These methods will ensure that the procedure is as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
If the patient has already received hyaluronic-acid filler injections during a previous liquid rhinoplasty, these may be dissolved using hyaluronidase. This will help to avoid a situation where fillers are experiencing different stages of absorption, causing uneven results.
Next, microdroplet filler injections will be delivered in the targeted areas. The filler will be massaged as needed to achieve optimal results.
After non-surgical rhinoplasty, patients can immediately return to their everyday schedule without recovery time or downtime. After a few hours, patients can gently wash their face as directed.
Temporary redness, bruising, and swelling may be present. Ice or an ice pack can be used to reduce these issues, as can keeping one’s head elevated for the first 24 hours.
The results of liquid rhinoplasty will be immediately visible, and final results can be seen in up to two weeks.

Liquid rhinoplasty is a relatively short procedure, especially in comparison to surgical rhinoplasty. While a surgical nose job can take three hours or longer, liquid rhinoplasty usually takes anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.
The exact duration of a patient’s liquid nose job results will depend on the specific filler or fillers chosen. Certain fillers can last anywhere from six months to a year, while others show results for 12 to 18 months. After results begin to fade, patients can come in for maintenance treatments.
A non-surgical nose job is quite versatile and can be used to address numerous nasal aesthetic issues. This is accomplished through injections in areas like the nasal tip, the nasal bridge, and the sides of the nose.
Injecting filler into the nose can reduce the appearance of a mild nasal hump and even out the region. Filler injections can correct the look of asymmetries in areas of the nose. Filler also can make the nose look straighter and less angular.
Additionally, filler can correct issues with the tip of the nose, like a bulbous or drooping appearance; injections can make the nasal tip look more prominent or lifted.
After non-surgical rhinoplasty, there are some recommended guidelines to follow. Avoid applying pressure to your nose for around seven days after the treatment session. This will help ensure that the filler settles into its proper location and does not migrate.
Other activities that can increase pressure include blowing your nose, wrinkling your nose, playing contact sports that could result in nasal trauma, and wearing tight-fitting glasses. If the bridge of the glasses or the nose pads are not in contact with the filler-treated regions, wearing glasses is likely acceptable.
For the first day after your liquid nose job in Denver, do not do anything that could cause you to sweat, since excessive sweating can result in increased bruising. This means avoiding hot baths, hot showers, prolonged sun exposure, and physically taxing activities like exercise and sports.
After your non-surgical rhinoplasty, avoid drinking, smoking, and applying creams, makeup, or harsh cleansers. You may also need to avoid taking NSAIDs and blood thinners for a short time.
