What’s a Liquid Rhinoplasty and Is It Right For You?
A “liquid rhinoplasty,” also known as a non-surgical rhinoplasty, uses dermal fillers to temporarily reshape and contour the nose without surgery. It can lessen the appearance of a prominent bump, straighten out mild asymmetry, or adjust the tip position. However, it won’t address structural issues like breathing problems or significantly reduce nose size. If you’re seeking subtle cosmetic improvements with minimal downtime, a liquid rhinoplasty could be a good option for you.
Soft-Tissue Dermal Filler Options
There is a wide variety of fillers available, many composed of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our skin that keeps it hydrated and firm. Each brand family offers different formulations for a range of concerns. In your consultation with Dr. Rockmore, you will discuss all of the available options for your specific concerns and develop a personalized plan to achieve your goal. The soft-tissue fillers Dr. Rockmore uses include:
- RADIESSE®: This product uses calcium microspheres suspended in a gel to fill beneath the skin. It’s also the first and only FDA-approved filler to correct volume loss in the back of the hands. It can be used for smile lines, nasal enhancements, and jawline redefinition. Improvements last 9 to 12 months.
- BELOTERO BALANCE®: This filler, which contains hyaluronic acid, is placed more superficially than other fillers. It treats fine lines and wrinkles in areas that are too delicate for other fillers, such as under the eyes. The downside with this product is its longevity, which at 6 months is shorter than that of the other fillers.
- JUVÉDERM®: This hyaluronic acid gel filler lasts for 9 to 12 months and creates soft and natural-looking improvements.
Depending on your concerns, Dr. Rockmore may recommend complementing your filler treatments with other skincare options to create more comprehensive results.

What Are Injectable Volumizers?
Volumizers are injectable treatments used to restore volume that is lost as our faces age. In recent years, plastic surgeons have evolved their understanding of the facial aging process. As the face ages, tissue shifts downward, and volume is lost in the cheeks and upper face. This creates a drawn, aged appearance. The shape of the face changes as it flattens from the cheekbones to the apples of the cheeks. Volumizers are used to restore volume to the upper face and cheeks, which provides a lifting effect that is significant yet natural-looking.
Volumizer Options
The volumizers Dr. Rockmore uses include:
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC
This hyaluronic acid product is used to restore fullness to the cheekbones in patients who are at least 21. It lasts up to 2 years and creates an immediate improvement in your cheek and cheekbone contour. The curvature of a youthful cheek, called the ogee curve, is recreated, resulting in a youthful look.
Sculptra® Aesthetic®
This is a poly-L-lactic acid product that stimulates your body to make tissue in the injected area for volume restoration. The day after injection, there is minimal change, but over the next 6 weeks, your body gradually produces volume in the treated areas. Sculptra lasts more than 2 years and is often used to improve the contour of the cheeks and temples. Most patients need 2 to 3 treatments for the best results.
In addition to facial rejuvenation, Dr. Rockmore also offers a nonsurgical Brazilian butt lift using Sculptra.

What Are the Risks of Injectable Fillers?
While injectable fillers are commonly used and are extremely safe, they are not without possible side effects, which include but are not limited to lumps, tissue reaction, visibility, bruising, and swelling. Many of these issues resolve quickly without treatment. In addition, there is a substance that can be injected that removes many of the fillers if a problem develops. That being said, millions of injections are performed in the U.S. each year, most without issue.
Frequently Asked Questions Injectable Filler
Is BOTOX better than dermal fillers?
BOTOX and dermal fillers address signs of aging in different ways. BOTOX temporarily relaxes the muscles that create dynamic expression lines, while dermal fillers restore volume and soften static wrinkles. Neither is universally better; the right option depends on your specific concerns. In some cases, combining both as part of a liquid facelift can provide more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Depending on the type of filler used and where it is injected, results can typically last between six and 18 months. Fillers in areas with more movement, such as the lips, may wear off sooner than those in less mobile areas, such as the cheeks. Periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve your results.
Can dermal fillers be dissolved?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which can reverse the effects of the filler.
Are dermal fillers worth it?
Dermal fillers can restore volume, enhance facial contours, and soften certain signs of aging without surgery or significant downtime. Results are temporary and can be adjusted or, in the case of hyaluronic acid fillers, dissolved if desired.
Is dermal filler treatment painful?
Dermal filler injections are generally well tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort. A topical numbing cream or local anesthetic may be used to improve comfort, and many fillers also contain lidocaine. Mild swelling or tenderness can occur afterward and typically improves within a few days.
Is there anything I should avoid after my lip filler treatment?
After lip filler treatment, you may be advised to avoid the following for at least 24 to 48 hours:
- Strenuous exercise
- Alcohol
- Excessive sun or heat exposure
- Touching, pressing, or massaging the treated area unless instructed by your provider
These precautions can help minimize swelling and bruising and support proper healing.
