What is the Best Filler for a Non-surgical Rhinoplasty?

Silikon-1000 may be safely used by experienced physicians for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty procedures.

Silikon-1000 is my personal preference for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty procedures. It's precise, versatile, and predictable when used properly in the nose.

The filler really needs to be determined by the doctor

The filler really needs to be determined by the doctor and depends on the results you desire. The advantage of a hyaluronic acid filler is that it is reversible as opposed to Radiesse which is not. But, Radiesse has more structure and therefore can be used for a more significant correction.

None

All are temporary and will go away over time. Save your money and have a real rhinoplasty with a cartelage graft.

Radiesse or Juvederm best for rhinoplasty, depending on the anatomy.

Hi. You want a filler that will last a long time for non-surgical rhinoplasty, but --much more important-- you want to avoid complications. Radiesse, and Juvederm for some patients, last a long time in the nose because there is no motion, and they are really safe. I would stay away from silicone. Very few doctors use it, and there is a reason.

Choice of Fillers for Non-surgical Nose Job (rhinoplasty)

Currently, none of these fillers have an FDA indication for this use and therefore all are considered "off-label". In order of longevity (from increasing to decreasing) the products are Silikon 1000, Artefill, Radiesse, Restylane/Juvederm.There is no best material.
