Non-surgical nose job

A non-surgical nose job involves the injection of filler material e.g. Radiesse, restylane or juvederm under the skin to help reshape the nose.   This works best when the patient has a minor irregularity or asymmetry they would like corrected.   True nasal reshaping: elevating the tip, diminishing the droop, making the nose smaller, remedying a bump can only be accomplished with a nose job or rhinoplasty.    Fillers in the nose are not without problems and should only be... more

Be careful when considering nasal fillers

There are limited indications for a non-surgical rhinoplasty. Tip elevation should not be one of them. You are risking adding bulk to the nasal base and tip areas, without achieving meaningful elevation. In my opinion, small nasal humps represent the only scenario in which fillers can be of potential benefit.  Consider the following potential downsides of fillers in the nose: fillers are temporary and require ongoing re-injections can cause irregularities, especially... more

Fillers in the nose can be disastrous

There are a few points that you need to keep in mind when researching nasal surgery. First of all, injectable materials can cause many problems when placed into the nose. Further, from what you are describing, injectables would unlikely be of benefit. A "dropped tip" is usually either the result of inadequate structural support, an overly projecting bump across the nasal bridge, or both. In any event, these issues really can only be corrected with a well executed rhinoplasty operation. more

Fillres in the Nose: Rarely Beneficial

In my opinion, use of fillers in the nose is best described as a technique seeking an application.  There are very few circumstances where use of fillers in the nose provides an equivalent or superior alternative to surgical Rhinoplasty.

Avoid Non-surgical Injectable Filler for Droopy Nose

First, be very careful with any injections into the nose. The nose is very susceptible to color changes, discoloration, swelling, blood flow, pain, numbness, and other potential complications with inappropriate injections into the nose. There isn't a filler on the market currently that is FDA approved for injection into the nose. Everything is being used off-label. Fillers should never be placed into the tip of the nose, since complications may more likely occur at the nasal tip.... more

Non-surgical "rhinoplasty" is most useful for filling in asymmetry or camouflaging contour deformities of the nose. Significant changes in the shape, projection or rotation of the nasal tip typically require surgery. Dr. Stephen Weber, M.D. Lone Tree Facial Plastic Surgery

Fillers for the Nose

It is very difficult to assess your issues without pictures.  From what you seem to be describing as your desires, you are looking for increased tip projection and rotation of the nasal tip.  Both corrections cannot be achieved with any permanence using filler materials.  Permanent rotation and projection of the nasal tip comes by manipulation of the nasal cartilage, something only achievable with surgery.  Small irregularities of the bridge are really the only good areas... more

Fillers or Rhinoplasty

Without pictures I cannot answer what is best for your nose. Most often, I encourage patients to have a rhinoplasty which provides a permanent solution. In some cases, fillers do give a patient temporary improvement.

Fillers for a non surgical nose job

If you want to explore an non surgical solution for your nose, you should have some filler placed in the nose. Have the MD start out with small amounts as you always can have more filler added.

Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty

The biggest advantage to a nonsurgical nosejob is that you will get a preview of what your nose will look like before undergoing a more permanent solution.  If you like the result you can convert to a permanent solution with a definitive Rhinoplasty.  Since the nonsurgical approach is a more temporary approach it allows to preview a more permanent solution at much less the cost and recuperation.

Surgical rhinoplasty gives permanent results.

Fillers or non surgical nose are short lived and don't deal with the issues needed to give a good looking nose. Surgery is what will give you the best results -- there are no short cuts.

Surgical or non-surgical rhinoplasty, what's better?

Obviously, without a picture it's difficult to comment on how well you may do with non-surgical rhinoplasty. In general, patients with isolated small humps on the nose do well. Non-surgical nose jobs do not allow narrowing or refining the tip.

Rhinoplasty

Difficult to determine without photos-however, I think you will bet the best long term results via surgery

Surgery is the best

Non surgical nose jobs do not get as good a result or as long lasting a result. Non surgical means that some filler that is absorbed is injected. The treatment usually needs to be repeated. A well done nose job lasts for your life. So do the math -- $80- - $1000 / year or 6-10K for your lifetime. You decide.
