About Non-surgical Rhinoplasty
What is Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Often called a liquid rhinoplasty or liquid nose job, non-surgical rhinoplasty utilizes dermal fillers to alter the nasal structure producing significant results. Using Restylane®, a hyaluronic acid filler, Dr. Pautler injects a small amount (typically 0.5–1 mL) into the problem areas of the nose to produce the desired cosmetic appearance.
With over two decades of use, dermal fillers have been helping patients achieve remarkable results without needing a surgical procedure or taking extended amounts of time off work. A non-surgical nose job is also less costly than the surgical alternative providing insight into what the surgical procedure can do to improve your appearance.
Am I a Good Candidate for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty?
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is ideal for mild to moderate cosmetic issues of the nose including dorsal humps (bumps on the bridge of the nose), depressions, indentions, crookedness, and downturned or upturned tips of noses. Liquid rhinoplasty is an option for individuals who have never had nasal surgery before and patients who wish to improve the irregularities of a previous surgical rhinoplasty. Liquid rhinoplasties don’t correct but they camouflage several nasal deformities.
This non-invasive rhinoplasty option can be ideal for those unable to undergo a surgical procedure due to health conditions. However, ideally, candidates are healthy and are not currently taking blood thinning medications. For optimal results, patients should have realistic expectations for the procedure and understand its limitations.

How Much Does Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Cost?
The average liquid rhinoplasty cost in Pittsburgh can range from $500 to $2500. This range varies depending on surgical location, physician experience, and type of dermal filler used.
Physicians located on the East Coast and with high levels of expertise in performing non-surgical rhinoplasties are in increased demand. In addition to the higher costs of living along the East Coast, these procedures will typically be priced higher than less populated areas.
The type and amount of dermal filler used during the injection factor into the overall cost of the procedure. With every patient having their individual needs, a customized plan will be developed which allows Dr. Pautler to provide the overall cost for the procedure during the initial consultation.
The procedure is performed at Dr. Pautler’s office and typically lasts about an hour. This helps to lower the costs by avoiding surgical facility and anesthesia fees.
Does health insurance cover liquid rhinoplasty?
Unfortunately, health insurance companies classify non-surgical nose job Pittsburgh procedures as cosmetic procedures and thus do not provide coverage for these procedures. Therefore, this procedure must be paid for out-of-pocket.

What to Expect During a Consultation for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
During the initial consultation, an examination of the nose and face will be performed to identify cosmetic issues amenable to non-surgical correction. A thorough review of your medical history will be performed to ensure no conditions or medications that could increase the risk of complications exist. Dr. Pautler will review your goals for the procedures and determine if a liquid rhinoplasty Pittsburgh can achieve these expectations. Finally, the procedure, risks, and recovery will be discussed and you will be provided with a detailed explanation of the total costs of the injection. Dr. Pautler will also show you before and after photos of previous liquid rhinoplasty cases.
Recovery from Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty in Pittsburgh
Immediate results are visible after the procedure but some redness and pain may be experienced and will typically disappear after a day or two. The full results may take one to two weeks to appear as the swelling gradually resolves. If bruising occurs, this will resolve over the first week or two.
Patients may return to work and routine activities immediately after the procedure; however, strenuous activities should be avoided for 24 hours.
The results of a non-surgical nose job Pittsburgh will typically last patients from eight to ten months with touch-ups helping to extend the life of the procedure. During these touch-up procedures, significantly less dermal filler is needed.
Risks of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty
Dermal fillers are associated with common side effects including temporary bruising and swelling. However, rare but serious side effects can occur. These include:
- Occlusion of vein or artery. This can cause skin and tissue death, scarring, and even blindness.
- Inconsistent aesthetic results. Under or over-correction and residual asymmetry can occur especially in inexperienced hands.
- Allergic reaction. Allergic reactions to a component of the injection can cause redness, swelling, itching, and pain.
To minimize these risks, Dr. Pautler uses a blunt-tipped, small cannula to deliver precise amounts of dermal filler to the areas of need. This helps to precisely correct the cosmetic issues and prevent the inadvertent puncturing of an artery or vein.
