Non surgical nose job before rhinoplasty?

I am planning to have nose job next year because I can't afford it now. Can I have a non surgical nose job before true rhinoplasty surgery, or will a non surgical nose job prevent me from being able to have a rhinoplasty next year?

A: Don't use fillers for non-surgical rhinoplasty if definitely planning surgery in near future

By Otto Joseph Placik, MD - Chicago Plastic Surgeon

Given the appearance of your nose, it is not likely that a nonsurgical nose job can really achieve any significant change in your nose. Depending on what you want to achieve, fillers may be an option but as the other physicians have suggested, I would recommend hyaluronic agents i.e., restylane or... more

A: Non-surgical nose job before Rhinoplasty not advisable

By Steven Wallach, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

I am assuming a non-surgical nose job you are referring to is Radiesse or another filler. It probably is not a good idea to do this before a formal rhinoplasty. The reason being is that some ofthe product may still be present in your nose before your surgery. This will: 1) distort the appearance of your... more

A: You really need to be seen to best evaluate this.

By William B. Rosenblatt, MD - Manhattan Plastic Surgeon

I cant tell without a good lateral photo of you. Mostly, non surgical rhinoplasties involve injecting a filler ( Radiesse, Juviderm or Restolin) to fill a dent or other depression. This is not permanent and should go away. These treatments are not cheap. So my advice is to save the money and go to a well... more

A: I would recommend you don't, if you do use only temporary filler like restylane or juvederm

Hi Afsi, This is a great question that we get in our practice a fair bit and that we have looked into. In fact, we in assocaition with our colleagues reviewed the largest series of injectible rhinoplasties done by anyone to date.

A: Injections will not prevent you from having surgery but you should probably wait several months.

By Stanley G. Poulos, MD - Bay Area Plastic Surgeon

Most non-surgical rhinoplasties involve injections of dermal fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane to correct minor imbalances. Every nose can not be improved in this fashion and it requires careful assessment. I would get opinion from an expert in surgical rhinoplasty before considering non-surgical correction.

A: Non-surgical nose job or Rhinoplasty with fillers is temporary, a Rhinoplasty is your best option

By Brooke R. Seckel, MD - Boston Plastic Surgeon

Afsi, I am assuming that you mean soft tissue fillers like Restylane, Radiesse, or Juvederm when you speak of a non-surgical nose job. These fillers are helpful most often in correcting deformities caused by too much tissue removal or other problem after a surgical nose job called a Rhinoplasty. If you want to... more

A: Filler in the Nose, or the So-Called "Non-Surgical Nose Job"

By Michael A. Persky, MD - Los Angeles Facial Plastic Surgeon

Hi Afsi, Your picture looks great. What are your nose concerns? The placement of temporary filler in your nose will likely be gone a year from now. I would advise you to leave it alone until you have your surgery. If your nose is bothering you so much that you just have to do... more

A: Yes you can if you use a filler that lasts only one year.

By Toby G. Mayer, MD - Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeon

If you are sure that you will not have surgery for at least 1 year, then you can use a filler such as Juviderm. Radiesse lasts up to 1 and a half years.

A: Filler might affect the outcome of later surgery

By Benjamin Van Raalte, MD - Davenport Plastic Surgeon

At this time, it is uncertain whether injection of fillers will lead to problems with later surgery. Some doctors have reported seeing residual material and scarring with later surgery. If you are planning nose surgery in the next few years, if you do use a filler I would recommend a hyaluronic acid filler... more

A: Radiesse

By Robert M. Freund, MD - New York City Plastic Surgeon

The idea of a non-surgical nose job is the idea of filling thenose with radiesse - afiller which lasts up to a year. The filler would camouflage the imperfections in the nose. The filler should be gone within the year and then you could have a rhinoplasty without limitations.
