What is Injection Rhinoplasty?

Injection rhinoplasty—also called a non-surgical nose job or liquid rhinoplasty—uses carefully placed dermal filler to reshape the nose without surgery. Strategic injections can camouflage a dorsal hump, improve tip definition, correct asymmetry, and improve the overall profile of the nose—all in a single in-office visit.

Results are immediate and require no recovery time. For patients considering surgical rhinoplasty, it can also serve as a useful preview of potential changes.

What Injection Rhinoplasty Can Address

  • A dorsal hump or bump on the nasal bridge
  • A drooping or downturned nasal tip
  • Asymmetry between the two sides of the nose
  • A flat or under-projected nasal bridge
  • Minor irregularities following prior surgical rhinoplasty
  • Overall profile improvement without surgery
Important limitation: Injection rhinoplasty can reshape the nose using volume — it cannot make the nose smaller. Patients who want a smaller nose, significant structural change, or improved nasal breathing will need surgical rhinoplasty. Dr. Kieu will advise you honestly on which approach is appropriate for your goals.

Why Choose Dr. Kieu for This Procedure

Injection rhinoplasty carries a higher risk profile than most filler treatments because the nose has limited blood supply and critical vascular structures. In rare cases, imprecise injection can compress vessels, with serious consequences. Dr. Kieu's surgical training and expert knowledge of nasal anatomy make her uniquely qualified to perform this procedure safely and with precision.

The Procedure

After a thorough consultation and topical numbing, Dr. Kieu uses a fine needle or cannula to place small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler at strategic points along the nose. The process is carefully controlled, with results visible immediately. The entire appointment takes about 30 minutes.

Results typically last 9–12 months. Because hyaluronic acid filler is used, results are fully reversible with hyaluronidase if desired.

Ideal Candidates

  • Patients with a dorsal hump, asymmetry, or drooping tip who want to avoid surgery
  • Those considering surgical rhinoplasty who want to preview potential results
  • Patients with minor post-surgical irregularities
  • Good general health, not pregnant or breastfeeding
