The feasibility pilot was designed to assess subjective participant experience and programme feasibility across: recruitment and screening, retention, session attendance and engagement, adverse events, and practicality and reliability of outcome procedures.
Liquid rhinoplasty, otherwise known as nonsurgical or filler rhinoplasty, has earned increased attention for its ability to provide surgical rhinoplasty results at a fraction of the cost and without incising the skin. However, significant complications can arise, such as tissue necrosis, filler embolus, and vascular compromise if the procedure is performed without consideration of the principles and anatomy of the face and nose. As demonstrated in this article, a stepwise and patient-specific approach to performing liquid rhinoplasty will ensure safe, consistent, and desirable results.
