How to Correct Radiesse Non Surgical Rhinoplasty Results?
A few years ago I got a non surgical nose job with Radiesse. The doctor attempted to make my wide nostrils look thinner by filling to lift up the nostrils. Instead, it looked bigger. Later, he put steroid shots to thin the tip. My tissue cartilage started to deflate and thin, and my nose had weird indentions. The cartilage droops and protrudes to the front, giving a weird, lumpy, unnatural-looking tip. Bridge tissue was drooped and thinned, so my nose looks even more flatter with a weird shadow. What can be done to correct this?

Correction of Nose Deformity
Dear Uneven Nostrils
How long has it been since the 1) Radiesse injections 2) Steroid injections?
The steroid effects can soften over time- 6 months to a year and the tissue may improve. Also the Radiesse will go away over time as well. Caution must be take with the thin skin on the tip of your nose and a surgical approach or use of any other fillers.

True Rhinoplasty
Significant damage has been done to your nose. In order to correct it it you will need a formal rhinoplasty. In addition you will most likely need cartilage grafts to correct the deformity and strengthen the nose. Be sure you see a well experienced rhinoplasty surgeon has this procedure takes many years to perfect.

Rhinoplasty revision
Thanks for your question -
You have serious issues that should be addressed by a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon. Thin skin, visible cartilage and radiesse correction will likely require surgery.
Be sure you visit someone with experience with rhinoplasty revision.

This is serious
You need to see a real plastic surgeon to correct the errors from the first person. Do not even think of going to someone who is not tops in rhinoplasty.

Surgery is probably your best option
What you are describing sounds to be a difficult problem, but can probably be improved with a rhinoplasty. I would recommend finding a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area to examine you-- he'll be able to tell you what your options are and what you can realistically expect from a surgical correction.

See proper surgeon
I would recommend a board certified facial plastic surgeon. This type of training includes both ENT (ear, nose and throat) as well as plastic surgery and they are best qualified to do corrective nose surgery.
Good luck.

Radiesse to nose, complications
I would consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon (preferably ENT (ear-nose-throat)-trained) to evaluate your problem. Sounds like you may need surgical correction.
Good luck.

Hard to make recommendations without seeing your nose
Without seeing your nose in person it will be hard to make any significant recommendations. Can you submit a picture with your eyes concealed?
By your description, it appears that you have suffered the effects of pressure and steroid atrophy. If you have lost support and volume in areas of your nose, this may require cartilage support procedures and possible soft-tissue grafting. You should consult a specialist in secondary rhinoplasty to try to ameliorate the problems you face with your...

Picture would be helpful
you need a consultation with board certified plastic surgeon to examine you and give you the option. You present an unusual situation. Most effective tx would be open rhinoplasty and removal of the radiesse.
