Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionUse of Filler After Unsuccessful Septo-Rhinoplasty - Doctor Recommendation for Orange County, CA
Had septo rhinoplasty 3wks ago. Unhappy that I have same problem as b4. Which is a curve on 1 side and straight on other. I don't want anything fancy but want it straight & symmetric. My dr said he could not accomplish this because the upper lat.
Cartilage is pulled away because of a broken nose from 20yrs ago. This would have been good to know b4 surgery. He recommended a filler. What kind is best? Does it actually work? Any exp. Surgeons w this in orange county ca? No revisions... too much risk

Wait before using any fillers
You should wait before using any fillers. But i would suggest to continue working with your doctor, or if you would like a 2nd opinion I am up in Beverly Hills and you can see my before/after rhinoplasty and non-surgical rhinoplasty pictures in my photo gallery.

You may be a candidate for a well-performed Injectable Filler procedure to improve the curved appearance of your nose.
I read your concern. Without a photo, I can only assume that your nose may look curved on one side due to an indentation in the cartilage of your bridge.
In my practice, Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results, may be employed to straighten the appearance of your nose. Procedures are performed with topical anesthetic and there is typically no downtime. I have injected Silikon-1000 as early as 1 month after rhinoplasty surgery in certain cases. A photo, along with a...

Doctor Recommendation for Orange County, CA
Sorry for your displeasure with the results of the surgery. It is premature to judge the results at this point. You may need to wait at least 6 months before judging the results. If you have a dermal filler, radiesse or juvederm may be optimal. Continue to communicate your concerns clearly and calmly to your surgeons so he/she can follow you appropriately and can take the necessary steps.

Filler after Unsuccessful Rhinoplasty
At 3 weeks post-op it is unlikely that you can determine the final appearance of your nose. Wait another 6 months before considering adjustments, whether it be surgery or fillers. If fillers are used, I recommend Radiesse or Juvederm.

3 weeks and frustrated
Of all the procedures done in plastic surgery, rhinoplasty is one where patience is required. things change, swelling resolves, disappointment subsides. I personally don't mind the filler early. what i wouldn't do is use something permanent like silicon until at least a year has passed. instead use a little restylane to camoflage your concern and use hyaluronidase if it needs to be removed or altered. try not to get frustrated it will only make you feel worse. stay positive and...

Filler after rhinoplasty
There is still healing time to go through and swelling to resolve. Much too early to use fillers. Would wait a least 3 months before using fillers since you wouldn't know how much fillers to use as swelling decrease with time and may require more injection.

Filler for nose
I'm sorry to hear you feel surgery has not worked for you so far. It's way to early to think about any filler. If anything filler is likely to make things worse right now because you are trying to correct an asymmetry which is temporary due to swelling. You might add filler to this and then in another month or two when the swelling goes down it will look asymmetric from the filler. I would advise waiting at least nine months and see how it settles. If the problem is indeed a detached...

Nose crooked after surgery
You are quite early in the healing process and need to wait before anything is done. Fillers are an option but, you may need a revision with a spreade graft.
