Fillers for rhinoplasty or surgery itself?

At least from what can be seen in the photo, this type of nose can be helped a lot with non-surgical rhinoplasty...either with permanent or temporary fillers. Juvederm is a nice temporary filler to see whether you like the look first. Artefill is, IMHO, the best permanent filler. Generally speaking, the size of the nose is less important than its proportions. A well-proportioned nose that's a bit too big is better, generally, than a well-sized nose with poor proportions. Surgery affords greater more

Non-surgical nose-job or standard rhinoplasty

Non-surgical nose-jobs typically refer to injection of filler to areas of depression. So, the question here is whether the 'bump' on your nose is due to an excess of dorsal height (bump) or an illusion due to a deficient radix (the area above the bump, between the eyes. Even if it is indeed due to a large bump, some are going for the injection anyway. The risk here is that the nose will end up looking bigger. Computer simulations may help you decide which is best for you. In general, a... more

Non-Surgical Nose Job

On the basis of a single picture you could add filler to camouflage your hump ( I'm assuming that's your concern), but that will significantly distort the separation of forehead and nasal contours. Please sit down with an experienced surgeon, share your goals, and discuss your alternatives.

Rhinoplasty is better than non surgical nose job

A nonsurgical nose job is a bad idea. You are much better off with a true rhinoplasty even though it is the more expensive option. There have many disastrous complications including skin necrosis and complete loss of skin over the framework of the nose due to injecting these type of fillers into the nasal tissues. Avoid all injectables in the nose. A simple hump reduction or osteotomy would give you a nice result with a traditional rhinoplasty.

A rhinoplasty will provide you with the best result

Fillers can certainly be used to shape the nose, correcting asymmetries, and disguising features such as a small dorsal hump. Based on your photos, I think that you would receive the best correction of your profile with a rhinoplasty. Adding filler to soften the bump would increase the size of your nose and detract from the appropriate angle you have from your forehead to the bridge of your nose. But there is no substitute for a face to face examination, so consult with an experience... more

You would not be happy with non-surgical Rhinoplasty

A non-surgical rhinoplasty involves using soft tissue fillers to build up an area of the nose that is shallow or indented to make it look better. In your case you have a prominent dorsum that projects above the ideal line. Adding filler above or below the hump would not make it look better and might actually look strange. If you want a straighter profile my advise would be to seek out several opinions on surgical rhinoplasty from experienced surgeons. Hope this helps.

Non surgical nose job will not give you the results that a rhinoplasty will.

Your bump is quite large and filling above it will make the bump look smaller, but the entire nose LARGER. See an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who does natural noses and you will be better off,

Rhinoplasty Results Superior to "Non-Surgical Nose Job"

Hi Pal, It really depends on what bothers you about your nose, and what result would give you the most satisfaction. A non-surgical "nose job" fills above and below your dorsal hump to camouflage the hump. Your nose will be larger, without the noticeable hump. You would then need to have the filler redone about once a year. If you were my patient I would likely advise you to have a permanent rhinoplasty, as taking down your dorsal hump would most likely solve your concerns. ... more

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty versus Surgical Rhinoplasty

A non-surgical rhinoplasty by definition is not a rhinoplasty. It is somewhat of a compromise procedure in that the results are temporary and can cause long term scarring. A surgical rhinoplasty is a more definitive procedure with permanent results. A good rhinoplasty surgeon will give you an excellent, natural looking nose, that is usually a one time fix. Non-surgical procedures add volume to the the tip and radix of the nose in an attempt to camouflage the hump. It will give you a... more

Large Humps are hard to camouflage with Fillers

Getting a straighter nasal dorsum (IE "profile") works better with small, limited hump in noses which are not overly projecting. In my opinion, while fillers may be used in you the result would be substandard with an overly tall, hyperprojecting nose. I do not think you would be happy with such a result.

I think your nasal bump is too large for a Non-Surgical Nose Job.

Your nasal photo is quite limiting for an in-depth answer, but it seems like your bump projects as far as your tip. If you have injectable fillers placed above and below your nasal-hump, I think you might find that your nose looks too large. I hope this is helpful for you.

Don't waste time with fillers

You are an excellent candidate for a rhinoplasty. fillers are temporary at best and are expensive. Get a consultation with a good rhinoplastic surgeon and have your issue dealt with permanently.

Non-surgical rhiniplasty

SEE VIDEO BELOW: A Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not a sbustitute for a rhinoplasty. The former is a non-invasive technique to provide temprorary and minor corrections in the appearance of the nose. It is rarely functional. Surgical rhinoplasty is an invasive but longer lasting correction of the nose that can accomplish functional as well as aesthetic improvement. To answer your specific question, fillers can provide you with the illusion of a smaller hump. see video

You can try fillers first

You can try filler to minimize the dorsal bump.This very simple and no down time if you are not ready for surgey. Filler last more than a year and you will get improvemnt if the injection done right. You need very small amount and this will help with the lateral view. You can get a better and lasting result with surgery if you are ready for it. The other opion is to have a consultation with a plastic surgeon who offer computer imaging to help you with visualizing the final outcome. more

Non surgical rhinoplasty options

Non surgical rhinoplasty is not a substitute for operative rhinoplasty. However, dermal fillers can be used to augment the dorsum of the nose and help hide asymmetries. Good luck.

Fillers versus rhinoplasty

The answer to your question depends on what you are trying to achieve. If you want to reduce the bump on your nose and make it overall appear smaller, you really do need a regular rhinoplasty. If you just want the nose to appear straight, and do not care if it seems larger, filler material can be placed. This is not a permanent solution, however. Try to narrow down what bothers you about your nose, and see a board-certified plastic surgeon or ENT in your area who will be able to address... more

Rhinoplasty surgical or non surgical is still a procedure

Great question. It really depends upon your goals. A little filler may soften the bump while making the nose a little larger. If you are looking more for a little more balance this may be all that you would want. Without seeing the rest of your face it is impossible to discuss other options. I would recommend you consider seeing a surgeon whom performs rhinoplasty as I would imagine you may want to consider discussing your options with someone fully trained to address all aspects of the... more

Non-surgical rhinoplasty has very limited long term results

Sometimes when all you have is a bump in the upper part of your nose it can be camouflaged by injecting filler above it to make the bump more obvious. However, that will make the nose look bigger. If you have a nice takeoff of the nose from your forehead, as in the photo presented, filling this hollow (in the area called the radix) above the bump to make it less obvious may make the nose look like it comes right out of your forehead. I suggest you see a rhinoplasty specialist who can discus... more
