Can Dermal Fillers Be Used on an Upturned Asian Nose?

asked 1 year ago by MIzuki

Tags: male, filler, non surgical, upturned

I have an upturned nose which my nostrils are very visible. This has depressed me a long time. I would like to ask if: 1) Dermal fillers or any fillers can help make the tip of my nose bigger to sorta camouflage the nostrils? Or 2) Is there any way that a filler can work on my upturned nose. Thank you very much! :D

Correction of upturned and short nose with dermal fillers

I would recommend having a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with passion for getting the best possible and most  natural looking results..  Generally speaking, it is not a good idea to use fillers in the nose. It can create significant and irreversible problems such as scarring, and tissue damage. Advanced Rhinoplasty techniques using your own cartilage will be used to push the tip to a more appropriate position and lengthen your nose. Hope this... more

Dermal Fillers in the Nose

Dermal fillers can be used in the nose, but usually not to de-rotate or lengthen the tip or nostrils. I recommend that you seek a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to get the best advice.

Fillers useful adjunct to rhinoplasty

Fillers can often be used to augment the tip, creating more projection, or to fill in behind a hump or fill in the root "radix" of the nose. In a way, it let's you try out a rhinoplasty before having a surgical rhinoplasty.  In this particular situation, a filler is not likely to be helpful.

Dermal Fillers in Nasal Tip to Lengthen Nose

I do not recommend the use of fillers in the nasal tip. You need to have a cartilage graft placed to achieve the desired lenthening.

Dermal Filler for Rhinoplasty without Surgery

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

Well-performed Injectable Fillers may lower your nostrils, but will not de-rotate the tip of your nose.

I reviewed your frontal photo, and I see you have excessive nostril show: worse on your left. I have seen excellent success lowering nostril margins with carefully placed Silikon-1000 for permanent results. Silikon-1000 may be used to make your tip wider, but is not helpful in repositioning your nasal tip. I hope this is helpful for you.

Upturned nose and fillers

You should really have a consultation to evaluate your conerns. Fillers are best for small areas of camouflage.

VIDEO of Non-surgical Rhinoplasty results

SEE VIDEO BELOW: I would agree with my colleagues. Concealing your nostrils with fillers is difficult to achieve. You may be able to enhance the projection of the nose which may make the nostrils relatively less noticeable.  see video

You need surgery to correct your upturned nose.

You need surgery to correct your upturned nose. Anything less won't do much and will have a very short term result. Fillers are fine for wrinkles, but not for major contour adjustments. I can't see your whole nose, but you probably need some cartilage added and some, removed. This is a rhinoplasty, "nose job". Anything less is a waste of money.

Dermal fillers will not help the upturned nose.

You need to see an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon. You will need a graft to lengthened the nose. A filler will not push the nose down and make it longer.

Fillers and Rhinoplasty

You need to be evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon.  Fillers can be used in the nose but what you are trying to achieve would not be possible with fillers. Make sure you express your concerns, but only surgery would help in your case.

Dermal fillers in the nose

There are a few indications for use of dermal fillers in the nose, but increasing the size of the tip to camouflage the nostrils is not one of them.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty for upturned nose.

Hi, Although non-surgical rhinoplasty can help to improve some nasal defects such as small humps on the bridge, or minor asymmetry in the tip, this treatment is probably unable to improve an uptruned nose. My suggestion would be to have a consultation with an experienced nose surgeon who could guide you in the T Thanks for posting your question. Dr. Torkian - Lasky Clinic, Beverly Hills.
