Restylane vs Radiesse for Non Surgical Nose Procedure

asked 1 year ago by 4372anon
Latest answer by Benjamin Barankin, MD
Question viewed 906 times
Tags: bridge, comparison, non surgical

About 7months ago I decided to go for a non surgical rhinoplasty procedure. The Dr. I went to suggested that radiesse was a better filler, so I had 0.3ml injected into my nose bridge. About 2 months after the initial procedure I went to a different Dr. that was reccommended to me by a friend, and he suggested that Restylane was a better filler as it lasts longer over time with each procedure. Is this true? I am due for a touch up but not sure on whether which filler is better?

Fillers for nose enhancement

I have used both restylane, juvederm, and radiesse successfully to improve the appearance of the nose. Generally speaking, I like to start with a hyaluronic acid like restylane or juvederm, and if the person is pleased, we can later consider radiesse for a longer lasting effect. If the person is potentially not pleased with a hyaluronic acid, then at least you have the versatility to dissolve it with hyaluronic acid.

Restylane or Radiesse for Injection Nose Job?

Hello 4372 Anon.  May we suggest an actual rhinoplasty?  While injections are certainly an option in your case, we still recommend a surgical procedure based on long term cost benefit as compared to injections. While both Radiesse and Restylane are options for this procedure, Radiesse is a bit less forgiving.  It is a denser product that is a bit more difficult to inject and it cannot be reversed.  It lasts longer, but comes with slightly higher risks.... more

Radiesse will likely last longer than Restylane for a Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty procedure.

I'm not sure why you required more Radiesse only 2 months after your non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure. It's possible that you looked great for 48 hrs., and when your swelling resolved, you wanted more augmentation for your nasal bridge. I exclusively use Silikon-1000 for non-surgical rhinoplasty procedures, and this will lead to permanent, natural results if performed properly. My patients will typically require around 3 treatments with Silikon-1000 spaced at monthly... more

Usually Radiesse lasts longer

I always start with an HA filler like Restylane because it can be dissolved, and therefore is safer. Radiesse has been found to last longer, so it is often the product used on the second go round.  The results last 9-18 months depending on which product used, and the amount and the level of injection. The only permanent solution would be surgery.

They both go away

This is the problem with a non=surgical nose job. You keep having to spend more money to add more filler. Surgery is usually a one time thing and permanent.

Be safe first

Both are OK options.  Restylane has a higher safety factor.  Radiesse definitely lasts longer - no questions about it.  But I prefer Restylane due to its increased safety factor.  It can be melted away if you dont like it and it has a lower chance of infection.
