Northern Virginia & Washington DC
If you could change the shape of your nose without surgery, would you? With new technology and improvements made with fillers (injectables), you can now!
There are few perfect noses in this world. Since the “heyday” of the Greeks, many criteria have been proposed to guide us toward the ideal dimensions of the aesthetically pleasing nose, given that it is the centerpiece of the face. As our society becomes more ethnically diverse, so do the noses that a plastic surgeon has to address. You may seek a rhinoplasty for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, the reason is self-consciousness about the appearance of your nose and the belief that it makes you less attractive. Those who could greatly benefit from a non-surgical rhinoplasty are individuals who typically undergo nasal implants to augment their noses, such as patients of Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, African American, or Hispanic descent.
Although no one can argue with the superior results and permanency that surgery can afford a patient who seeks rhinoplasty, surgery is not for everyone. Some people prefer not to have surgery for health reasons, apprehension, inability to afford the downtime or the costs, or simply because they are not sure they want a permanent result. Non-surgical rhinoplasty with Dr. George Bitar offers non-surgical rhinoplasty to patients globally and locally from Northern Virginia, including Fairfax, Vienna, Alexandria, Washington D.C., and Maryland, from his boutique practice in Fairfax, VA.

When someone looks in the mirror and is unhappy with their nose, several factors may be contributing to their dissatisfaction. It could be a bump on the nose, an indentation, a scar, an irregularity from previous nose surgery, or a flattened tip. All these conditions can be improved with a non-surgical rhinoplasty with fillers (injectables).
Due to the vast number of fillers on the market, people can become confused by the differences between each injectable. Restylane, Restylane Lyft, and Juvéderm are all gels composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar that binds to water, creating fullness that lasts from six to 12 months. Radiesse, a more viscous filler, is made from tiny calcium particles in a solution and also creates fullness that is less forgiving than the hyaluronic acid fillers but can last one to two years. A non-surgical rhinoplasty can be performed on patients by utilizing these different fillers, depending on the concern.
When non-surgical rhinoplasty is performed by our highly skilled team, our Washington, D.C. area patients enjoy a wealth of key benefits, including the following:
An initial consultation is scheduled, during which we discuss your options for non-surgical versus surgical rhinoplasty and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. Since this is an in-office procedure, preparation is minimal. Since the face has an excellent blood supply, patients are encouraged to discontinue medications that cause bleeding, such as aspirin or aspirin-containing products (Motrin or Ibuprofen), at least one week prior to this procedure. Mild to moderate pain is alleviated with local anesthesia or ice to numb the area where the injection is made.
The best candidates for a non-surgical rhinoplasty in Fairfax, VA, are healthy patients seeking a non-invasive way to refine and balance their nasal appearance. They typically seek subtle improvements to the nasal tip, bridge, or nostrils and have realistic expectations for what the treatment can accomplish. Liquid rhinoplasty can address contour irregularities, asymmetry, bumps, and indentation, but is limited in how much it can make a larger nose look smaller. It is also unable to correct structural issues that lead to poor breathing. To best determine if non-surgical rhinoplasty is suitable for you, Dr. Bitar and his team will conduct a thorough physical and medical assessment.
Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Juvéderm, or Radiesse may be used depending on the situation. We would inject the filler to smooth a bump, an indentation, a scar, or to give a better tip definition and a more prominent bridge (so the glasses will not slide down on the nose) to patients who have ethnic noses, such as Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, African-American, or Hispanic patients, who would have otherwise had nasal implants. Typically, one cc (or one tube) of an injectable is sufficient to achieve a non-surgical rhinoplasty in minutes, with no downtime.
There is no downtime or recovery to contend with after your liquid rhinoplasty in the greater Washington, D.C. area. Patients can instantly resume their normal activities, returning to work or school with few restrictions. Mild swelling, redness, itchiness, and tenderness may be present at the injection sites. These symptoms fade quickly, however. Avoid strenuous exercise for several days after your appointment. Results usually last 9 to 12 months, after which you have the option to repeat your treatment as needed.
