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... more

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... more

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... more

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... more

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... more

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,... more
