Micro-droplet Silicone Injections to Correct Asymmetrical Nasal Tip?

I am considering having a filler injected to correct my nasal tip. I have had three rhinoplasties. The first was purely cosmetic, the last two were to correct defects after a break. After the first, my nasal tip lost it's definition on the right side. The doctor who did my later surgeries was unable to correct this. The lack of symmetry, though unnoticeable to others, bothers me a great deal and seems very apparent in photos. I was recently reading about correcting nasal defects with micro-droplet silicone injections; would that also work for my issue?

Silicone Can Work for the Nasal Tip

Yes, I use silicone micro droplets all the time to correct nasal defects, including the nasal tip.  However, sometimes it is harder to truly fix the tip because the skin is relatively inelastic in that area.  Also, if you are considering additional rhinoplasties in that area it may not be a good idea to inject silicone at this point.  In any case, I am very good at managing this but it does take typically between 1 to 3 times to get it improved.  Remember it will... more
