Restylane vs Radiesse for Non Surgical Nose Procedure

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.  Ultimately, you need to find a practitioner you feel comportable with and then decide with that person what's right for you.  There is no single "best" answer to your question.

The best filler for nonsurgical rhinoplasty depends on the person.  Some patients have had rhinoplasty and have very thin skin and need a thinner filler such as Restylane silk or Restylane Refyne or Belotero.  Others have thick, oily skin or very tight skin that needs something that can shape the nose and resist the force of the skin pushing back down on the filler such as Restylane Lyft or Radiesse.  Bellafill is a filler that works well in all categories and lasts 5-10 years; however, starting with a shorter acting filler is a good idea first to make sure you get the result you want from a nonsurgical approach.  In other cases, surgery is the best option to get the result you're looking for. 

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 intervals, for a complete correction.

I hope this is helpful for you.
