Non Surgical Nose Job for a "Hook Nose"

A non-surgical nose job can be used to correct bumps on the bridge of the nose, surface irregularities along the top of the nose, and down-turned noses. The degree of improvement in each of these instances is related to severity of the underlying structural problem. Some defects may be so severe that aggressive, invasive surgery is the only answer, particularly when dealing with a prominently hooked nose. That having been said, I think that in many cases, it is reasonable to expect... more

Without addressing your specific problem, most times I feel the non-surgical approach is temporary and usually a compromise. Please have a consutation with a physician who is experienced in rhinoplasty surgery and the use of fillers. This way you will hear about the pros and cons of each approach, not a biased opinion based on the scope of a physician's practice.

It's hard to say for certain what would work for you without seeing a picture. I've had some success with correcting modest nasal deformities with fillers like Juvederm, but your best bet is to have a face-to-face consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can make recommendations tailored to your particular facial structure.

Each case must be treated individually, however, severe cases can be treated with fillers.  If there are asymmetric concavities on one side of a nose or if there are any areas of indentation fillers can help with this.  Fillers can not make a nose smaller but they can make a large or irregularly shaped nose appear better.

If the nasal deformities are very severe, a non surgical rhinoplasty may not be the best solution.  Consult an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to review your case and present options.

For the nose to appear attractive, there should be balance between the amount tip projection and the legth/height of the bridge. With a non-surgical nose job using fillers, it is sometimes possible to camouflage an undersireable characteristic by building up adjacent areas of the nose. The deformity of nose will dictate if and how much of the injectable substance is required to achieve the desired result. While injectable fillers may be appropriate for treating localized deformities such... more

Non-surgical techniques may achieve minor corrections in the hooked nose. 1) In particular, use of Botox to the muscle that pulls down the tip of the nose, especially when smiling, may ease the downturning of the nose 2) Injection of fillers at the base of the nose and columella may lift the nose away from the face, helping to give it the appearance of being rotated in space.
