Subtle refinements to the nose can significantly enhance overall facial harmony. At Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty Center™, world-renowned Scarless Nose® surgeon Dr. Deepak Dugar helps patients decide between two popular options: nonsurgical nose filler and surgical rhinoplasty. Both approaches can improve nasal appearance, but the right choice depends on your goals, anatomy, and comfort level. Here’s what you need to know before making your decision.
What Nose Filler Can Achieve
Nonsurgical nose filler, sometimes referred to as liquid rhinoplasty, uses injectable dermal fillers to temporarily improve the shape of the nose. By carefully adding volume in precise areas, Dr. Dugar can:
- Smooth out small dorsal humps
- Camouflage mild asymmetry
- Create the appearance of a straighter bridge
- Lift or refine the nasal tip
The treatment takes as little as 15 minutes and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for patients who want visible results without surgery. However, fillers cannot address breathing issues or significantly alter nasal structure. Results typically last around 9 to 12 months, though duration varies by patient. Maintenance treatments are required to preserve the effect.
What Rhinoplasty Offers
Surgical rhinoplasty is a permanent solution for patients seeking structural or functional changes. Through his exclusive Scarless Nose® technique, Dr. Dugar reshapes cartilage and bone from inside the nostrils, avoiding external scars. This refined approach distinguishes his work from traditional open rhinoplasty, which leaves a visible incision at the base of the nose. Rhinoplasty can:
- Permanently refine or reduce nasal size
- Improve balance and proportion with structural adjustments
- Correct a deviated septum or enhance breathing
- Address complex deformities or revise previous surgeries
Most patients can return to normal activities in one to two weeks, though complete healing and resolution of swelling continue for several months. While rhinoplasty requires more commitment than filler, the results are permanent and deliver significant improvements both aesthetically and functionally.
Which Option Is Right for You?
Your choice depends on the type of improvement you want:
Filler: Best for patients seeking minor, reversible enhancements without surgery.
Rhinoplasty: Ideal for those ready for permanent results or in need of functional improvements such as better breathing.
