Q: Silicone injections for equal nostrils gap sides? asked by Hump UK
A:
I have a lot of experience with silicone for the nose. It does not work well in the tip. However, about the only thing that I use it for in the lower nose is to correct notched nostrils from previous bad rhinoplasty. Other than that, the skin is just not elastic enough to move by filling.
Watch the video on injectable rhinoplasty that I shot that will better answer your question.
best,
