Radiesse: Q&A
Ask a Question
Radiesse Nose
I have scheduled an appoinment to have Radiesse injected on the bridge of my nose. I want to have a higher bridge and my doctor said that this is an alternative to Rhinoplasty. Am I doing the right thing? Will I look too "different" afterwards? Thanks.

Radiesse is excellent in the nose
We have used Radiesse numerous times as a non-surgical rhinoplasty and especially love it in the bridge of the nose as you have described. Good luck!

I recommend Juvederm, instead.
To Janice,
Hi! Using a filler to raise the bridge of your nose a little is fine. But don't think it is the same as a nose job. Also, make sure your doctor has a good eye and experience; ask to see photos.
I prefer Juvederm, because if you don't like it, it can be dissolved. And it also lasts a long time.

Radiesse is used for the "non surgical nose job" - you should be fine.
Thanks for your question.
Radiesse, more so than the other fillers, has been used to contour and shape the nose without having to do surgery. Radiesse is injected in areas of depression to either smooth out areas on the nose, fill in the area between bumps, or to make a sloping nose into a straighter nose. This procedure is widely performed and quite safe. The main risk of this procedure, as with any filler, is injection into blood vessels leading to a potential ulceration on the skin...

Radiesse works well for the nose
Radiesse is a good alternative to "augmentation" rhinoplasty for building up the bridge of the nose. The filler is made up of bone minerals, calcium and phosphate ions, surrounded by a water based gel carrier. This filler works best when injected deeply and just above the bone so it works well over the nasal bony bridge. It also lasts longer in this area than other parts of the face (up to 2 years). My recommendation is to have serial injections - you only need very little anyway (less than...

Can Radiesse be used in the nose for defects?
Radiesse has been used many times to relieve deformities of the nose and the injection is called a nonsurgical rhinoplasty. It works quite well in this capacity.

Radiesse Nose
Radiesse is an excellent nonsurgical filler for the dorsum or tip of the nose. When injected correctly it provides a very nice profile of cosmetic change. I have used it many times in my practice with great results.

Radiesse for the Nose
Radiesse is an excellent and simple option for treating many problems with the nose. I would be wary of any physician who tells you that you must see someone in their specialty. You need to find a physician who is experienced, and an artist, and is someone you are comfortable working with. Trust their ability and skills to either be able to improve your problem or be able to recommend the correct procedure and the right physician to see for this treatment. It is often much better to start...

NonSurgical Nose Jobs Can Give Excellent Results For Bumpy and Droopy Noses
For those people with a bump or hump on the bridge of the nose or a droopy tip, nonsurgical nose jobs can be an excellent way to avoid the expense and risks of going under the knife. A bump or a depression over the bridge area or along the nose or a falling tip due to the loss of underlying cartilage can be easily address and rapidly improved, literally in minutes, by the use of volumizing agents to recontour the nose.
My favorite volumizers for straightening the nasal bridge or lifting...

Filler or Rhinoplasty
The use of a filler such as Radiesse for aesthetic improvement of the nose in place of rhinoplasty is not a bad idea but it is one that needs some consideration. I am of the opinion that you are best in this case to get the opinion of someone that does both. This falls into the 'if you own a hammer the world is a nail' problem.
Here is the issue in a nutshell. Although filler is a nice idea, it does absorb. If you want to maintain that nice...

Radiesse in Non-surgical rhinoplasty
I would recommend an evaluation with a surgeon who performs rhinoplasty frequently to ensure that addition of filler in this area is appropriate for you from an aesthetic standpoint. Although the term non-surgical sounds less invasive, in some ways injection with Radiesse can lead to serious issues with the soft tissue of the nose. I don't recommend its use in the nose.
Juvederm is a much safer alternative and can be dissolved. Since the nose is not mobile,...

Non Surgical Rhinoplasty
Non Surgical Rhinoplasty does benefit a number of patients; however, patient selection is very important to ensure patient satisfaction. During a consultation, there needs to be a clear discussion of needs, expectations, and lifestyle so that a board certified plastic surgeon can advise you appropriately.

Radiesse injection on the nose bridge
Great question and after reading the other expert posters replies, I would be a little confused and concerned. Most of the posters state an experienced surgeon is best to inject a filler as the "cheap man's" rhinoplasty. I really do not care which doctor injects, personally I would ONLY use a rhinoplasty surgeon. To me I would use a short lasting filler, Restylane or Juvederm, because if you donot like the result guess what it will be gone within 6 months. If after the...

Go to the best Radiesse injector for a Radiesse nose treatment
I have to disagree with Dr. Waldman. You do not have to see a surgeon who performs surgical nose jobs to be evaluated and/or treated for a non-surgical injection of filler in your nose. A good physician will evaluate you and if you are not a good candidate will inform you and refer you elsewhere. An unethical physician, surgeon or otherwise, may give you the wrong advice simply to increase his/her income. That includes recommending surgery when surgery may not be...

Make sure the person doing the injection is capable of doing a surgical rhinoplasty
There are indications where injectable fillers are indicated for augmentation rhinoplasty. However, there are many situations where fillers should not be used in the nose so it is best to see someone who is a skilled and experienced rhinoplasty surgeon before considering this procedure. Personally I prefer either Juvederm or Perlane since they can be reversed if there are concerns.

Radiesse to Build Up the Bridge of the Nose
Hi Janice,
Once again "it's not the tool, it's the craftsman". The result will be a function of the skill and experience of your injecting physician, as well as their sense of beauty.
It is essential that you communicate your desired goal, and that your physician understands you.
Good luck and be well.

Radiesse to the nose bridge
Radiesse is my choice of filler for contouring the nasal bridge and can give you very nice results. As with any procedure, there are risks such as the possibility of lumpiness afterward. You should discuss potential complications and have your physician answer any questions you have before signing a consent for the procedure. You can expect the filler to last up to a year or longer in this location. Although this is not a permanent solution, what is wonderful about fillers is that while...

Non-Surgical nose enhancements work
Certain fillers work well in controuring the nasal bridge. I personally like Juvederm for this as it is easy to remove if you do not like the result. Radiesse is commonly used as is silicone, however, I like something that can easily be dissolved if it doesn't look the way you like after a couple weeks. Your physician will be able to go over the pros and cons of the different fillers with you as each Doctor will have different opinions as much fo the result depends upon the individual...

Non-surgical rhinoplasty
This is a procedure often referred to as the non-surgical rhinoplasty.
It is a relatively simple method of augmenting the nasal bridge which traditionally required surgery. It will not correct any other aspects of the nasal appearance and generally produces a very subtle change. If this is what you seek, you may be pleased.
The procedure is not permanent and will need to be repeated.
It is important for you to discuss the risks with your surgeon.
