While it is probably safe to fat inject the nose, it would probably be technically very difficult because of the very thin subcutaneous plane in which the fat would be injected.

The subcutaneous layer of fat that envelopes the nasal cartilages is thin and uniformly distributed. Fat transfer can be theoretically performed on the nose but is not technically easy or clinically reliable as a method to improve skeletonization of the nose.

Most plastic surgeons would be very reluctant to inject fat into the nose as a definitve treatment due to the difficulty in predicting take as well as the relative thin layer of tissue covering the nose. The use of fillers ("non-surgical rhinoplasty") may be a way of assesing the value of performing fat injections but this would remain a relatively unpopular method of treating nasal irregularities.

You should definitely consider going to someone who has a lot of experience doing this type of procedure. Fat injections have an immense variability in terms of the results that you can get from it. There are many steps that go into fat injections that can insure that you have reliable fat survival. This reliability is essential to knowing whether the fat will survive in... more
