Overview
Non surgical rhinoplasty, sometimes called a liquid nose job, uses precisely placed dermal filler to smooth dorsal bumps, lift a drooping tip and straighten the appearance of the nose in profile, without surgery, general anaesthetic or weeks of recovery. At Face and Co on the Lisburn Road in Belfast, this is one of our signature treatments. Jennifer Lavery is known across Northern Ireland for her work in non surgical rhinoplasty and facial profile balancing, and approaches every nose as part of the whole face, not in isolation. It is an advanced, higher risk treatment that demands specialist training, and suitability is always assessed honestly before anything is booked. Where surgery is the better answer, we will tell you so.

Clinical Detail
How we approach this treatment.
Assessment and profile planning
Every non surgical rhinoplasty at Face and Co begins with a full profile assessment: dorsal line, radix depth, tip projection and rotation, columellar show and the relationship of the nose to the chin and forehead. Jennifer plans the correction in the context of the whole facial profile, which is why profile balancing with chin or jaw support is sometimes recommended alongside, or instead of, treating the nose itself.
Technique and safety
Treatment is delivered with a firm, structural hyaluronic acid filler placed in the deep supraperiosteal and supraperichondrial planes along the midline, where the vascular risk is lowest. Small aliquots are deposited slowly with aspiration, using a needle or cannula depending on the area. Dissolving agent is always held on site and every patient receives written aftercare and direct aftercare contact.
What the treatment can and cannot correct
Filler can camouflage a dorsal hump, straighten a deviated appearance from the side, lift a drooping tip and improve the nasolabial angle. It cannot narrow the nose, reduce overall size or correct a functional breathing problem. Where surgery is the better answer, we say so at consultation rather than treating for the sake of it.
Correcting asymmetry
Facial asymmetry is the rule rather than the exception. Small differences in nasal sidewall projection or tip deviation can often be visually balanced with precise, asymmetric filler placement, assessed both straight on and in profile with the patient seated upright and animated.
The Process
A calm, considered experience.
- Step 01
Consultation
A full profile assessment covering the dorsal line, radix, tip projection and the relationship of the nose to the chin and forehead. Not every nose is suitable, and we say so honestly.
- Step 02
Planning
Jennifer maps the correction point by point, agrees the outcome with you and confirms the exact product and technique before treatment begins.
- Step 03
Treatment
Filler is placed in small, precise amounts using advanced safe zone techniques. The treatment itself takes around 20 minutes, with topical anaesthetic for comfort.
- Step 04
Review
A follow up to assess the settled result and refine the shape where needed, usually spaced 4 weeks apart if additional work is planned.

How long does non surgical rhinoplasty last?
Results typically last 12 to 18 months and often longer with repeat treatment, as the filler integrates and the profile becomes more stable over time.
Is it safe?
It is an advanced treatment that requires significant training. The nose has a demanding vascular anatomy, so we work only in recognised safe planes, aspirate before placement and keep dissolving agent on site. We only treat patients who are clinically suitable.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe pressure rather than pain. Topical anaesthetic is applied and the filler contains lidocaine. The treatment itself takes around 20 minutes.
Can it make my nose smaller?
No. Filler adds structure rather than removing tissue, so it refines and straightens the profile. A nose that needs reduction in width or size is a surgical case and we will tell you so honestly.
Can it fix a crooked nose or facial asymmetry?
In many cases, yes. Careful, asymmetric filler placement can visually straighten a deviated appearance and balance mild to moderate asymmetry. Jennifer specialises in profile balancing and the correction of facial asymmetry, and will assess honestly whether filler can achieve what you are hoping for.
Who is not suitable?
Patients with very thick skin at the tip, previous surgical rhinoplasty within twelve months, active skin infection, or unrealistic expectations of size reduction. Honest assessment comes before treatment every time.
What is the downtime?
Most patients return to normal activity immediately. Mild swelling or tenderness across the bridge settles within two to three days.
