What is a Liquid Rhinoplasty?

Liquid rhinoplasty, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses injectable dermal fillers to alter and shape the nose. Substances such as hyaluronic acid are used to fill in depressions, smooth out bumps, and adjust the contour of the nasal structure. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete.

What to Expect on the Day of a Liquid Rhinoplasty Treatment

On the day of your liquid rhinoplasty, your face will first be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic will be applied to numb the treatment area. Dr. Shastri will then skillfully inject dermal fillers into targeted areas of your nose to achieve your desired results. The procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, and a slight pinching sensation will occur during the injections. Post-procedure, an ice pack will help minimize swelling, and you can continue with your day as usual.

Liquid Rhinoplasty Recovery

Liquid rhinoplasty recovery in Chicago is swift. Most patients experience mild swelling and redness that typically subsides within a few days. You can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure, though avoiding strenuous activities for the first 24 hours is advisable.

  • Mohs Procedure

    I had a very minor Mohs procedure about a year ago. It has healed incredibly well and the scar is barely visible (people do not notice it unless I point it out to them). The receptionist at the hospital told me that Dr. Shastri was “phenomenal” and that I was in great hands before my procedure. This was true. As someone else described in a previous review, Dr. Shastri exudes a calm confidence and is gentle. He did an excellent job stitching up my wound and monitoring the scar throughout the healing process. I appreciate his attentiveness; his skillful suturing is like a work of art. I am grateful that I was referred to him by my dermatologist. He is a phenomenal plastic surgeon — both in his work and bedside manner

  • Mohs Surgery

    Dr. Shastri was very competent at my facial Mohs surgery and thats saying alot, it was major.. His skill is obvious, as more than 15 tiny stitches were virtually painless and will be hard to spot. He was punctual. Clear regarding the procedure. Super bedside manor. Highly recommend him and his staff.

  • Skin Cancer

    Wonderful! He patiently explained the different types of skins cancers, identified the one I had, then described how he would treat it. He answered all my questions, even the dumb ones. He just exuded a calm competence. For the skin graft, I felt like I’d had the benefit of an artist ad well as a doctor. Mary, the nurse, contributed greatly to making the entire experience positive. The online system for getting an appointment, confirming it and messaging the medical team is complicated, Byzantine, and frustrating, particularly for old guys like me. However it is definitely worth struggling through it. If I could add more stars I would.
