Fillers can artificially enahnce the dorsum of your nose...

Fillers can artificially enahnce the dorsum of your nose and the width of your nose.  These are temporary fixes.  More long lasting results are with rhinoplasty.

Hello Superman,

The overall answer to your question is yes.  Without examing your nose and getting a sense of the underlying bones and cartilage as well as the quality of skin overlying your nose it would be inappropriate to universally say yes.

If on frontal view you feel that the middle boney part of your nose is to thin (think of Owen Wilson) then fillers are certainly a good choice for widening the appearance of your nose.  The fillers of choice are Radiesse or Artefill.   Placement is key and serial injections may be needed to get enough collagen formation to occurr.

If on side view your nose looks weak because the boney portion is concave or scooped out,  fillers are a good option if it is mild only.  When the profile is weak the best solution is surgical placement of a graft (called a dorsal onlay graft) to provide a safe and long lasting result.  The amount of fillers required to build up a nasal dorsum very well may result in an unnatural look.  While it's nice to avoid surgery, in this scenario surgery is the best option in the short and long term. 

If you feel that your nasal tip (the squishy point of your nose) is too small then fillers are a good option.  They can be used in specific locations to make the tip appear larger and rotated in a way that is becoming of a masculine male nose.

Hope this helps & stay away from the kryptonite.
