The use of Sculptra to restore volume after nose surgery is an off-label application. Generally, Sculptra is used to treat larger areas, not something as finite as nose or nasal tip.

Ira D. Papel, MD answers: Sculptra to restore volume after nose surgery?
Hi, I just had a rhinoplasty and a turbinectomy last year. Ever since the turbinectomy my face has been looking very thin. I am 35 years old and am naturally skinny, but my face didn't look so gaunt before. My nose is smaller and my turbinates are no longer there, but for some reason my nose really stands out, I think due to lack of facial fat. I am 5'5 100 pounds and small boned, my size genetic. Have I just lost facial fat due to my age, and can I get it back by eating more? Should I try Sculptra? I have already tried juvederm in my lip area and botox in my forehead to make me look a bit younger, but it really didn't help any. I look at least 45! Help!
