Filler or Fat Transfer after Rhinoplasty

First, I agree with Dr. Esmailian that you need to wait 6-12 months to decide if additional work will be beneficial. If augmentation is necessary at that time, I prefer the use of cartilage rather than temporary fillers or fat liposculpting. More Gortex may be preferable to you and your surgeon.

You need to wait more likely about 6-12 months before doing anything to your nose. Talk to your surgeon and be patient at this point as you should be doing anything more to your nose right now. Good luck.
