Non-surgical Rhinoplasty
Often referred to as the "15-minute nose job," the VAL Liquid Rhinoplasty is a study in precision. Dr. Valerie Civelli approaches the nose not as an isolated feature, but as the central axis of facial balance. Using high-density "steel" fillers, she can camouflage dorsal humps, lift a drooping tip, and refine the nasal bridge to create a straighter, more elegant profile. This is the "Old Money" secret to a refined look: a transformation that is mathematically significant yet appears entirely natural to the untrained eye.
High-G-prime Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers for structural support.
Strategic micro-droplet injections along the nasal bridge and tip.
Results typically last 12–18 months.
Immediate social readiness; minimal to no swelling.
A straighter bridge, a refined tip, and improved profile proportions.
Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a transformative procedure that utilizes injectable fillers to temporarily reshape the nose. Unlike surgery, which removes tissue, this "Liquid Edit" adds strategic volume to fill depressions and lift the tip, creating the optical illusion of a smaller, more symmetrical nose. It is the ultimate tool for those who desire a more "balanced" silhouette without the commitment or recovery of a surgical rhinoplasty.
The session is conducted with the focus of a master watchmaker. After a detailed analysis of your profile, Dr. Civelli utilizes ultra-fine needles to place micro-droplets of filler precisely where they are needed. Because the nose is a high-sensitivity area with complex vascular anatomy, Dr. Civelli’s clinical pedigree as a board-certified physician is paramount. The procedure is remarkably swift, usually completed in under 20 minutes, with immediate results that improve as the product settles.
We use this sophisticated intervention to address specific "imperfections" in the nasal silhouette:
The "Liquid Rhino" is a hallmark of the VAL experience, delivering high-status results with clinical efficiency.
The Non-surgical Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic "Profile Edit" for those who value symmetry and structural grace.
The ideal candidate is someone with a dorsal hump, a slightly crooked bridge, or a drooping tip who is not yet ready for, or doesn't require, invasive surgery.
It is important to note that this procedure cannot reduce the actual size of the nose or correct internal breathing issues (such as a deviated septum).
There is no formal recovery period. You may experience minor redness at the injection sites for an hour or two. We advise concierge clients to avoid heavy eyewear or strenuous exercise for 24 hours to ensure the filler "sets" in its engineered position. It is the ultimate "lunchtime" transformation for the high-performing executive.
The results of a VAL Liquid Rhino are a testament to the "Soft and Steel" philosophy. The nose looks straighter, the tip looks more "flicked," and the profile looks more harmonious. These results typically last over a year, as the nose is a low-movement area of the face, allowing the architectural filler to maintain its shape with exceptional longevity.
The nose is the most vascularly complex area of the face for injectables. It requires a physician who understands the "steel" of anatomy and the "soft" of aesthetic balance. Dr. Valerie Civelli, M.D., brings her UCLA-trained clinical rigor to this high-stakes procedure, prioritizing your safety and your silhouette above all else. At VAL, your profile is in the hands of a master.
Paradoxically, no. By straightening the bridge and lifting the tip, we create a more streamlined silhouette that catches the light better, often making the nose appear smaller and more refined.
Most patients describe it as a "pinch and pressure." We use medical-grade numbing agents and lidocaine-containing fillers to ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible.
While surgery is permanent, Liquid Rhino lasts 12–18 months. This allows you to age gracefully and adjust your look as your facial structure evolves.
The nose has a complex network of blood vessels. This is why it is essential to choose a Board-Certified Physician like Dr. Civelli, who has the clinical training to navigate this anatomy safely and effectively.
