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?

Surgery is probably your best option
What you are describing sounds to be a difficult problem, but can probably be improved with a rhinoplasty.

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...
