How Soon After Surgical Rhinoplasty Can One Have Fillers?

i absolutely dislike the outcome of my surgical Rhinoplasty. It appears that I have all of the following:

bossing (therefore a crooked nose)
drooping tip
collapsed valve
notching of the alar rim
pollybeak deformity

I spoke to several of my doctor's former patients and they all complained of similar outcomes even 3 years on. That's why I know it's not residual swelling. Which of the deformities can non-surgical nose jobs tackle, and how soon after Rhinoplasty can I have injectable fillers as a temporary fix before I can afford revision?

Fillers after Rhinoplasty

The abnormalities you describe are very difficult to correct with fillers and the results would be temporary.

See an experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon.

You must wait at least 6 months and 12 is better to have fillers. If you can, save your money and get the revision done sooner. Make sure the surgeons does many revisions per year. We see patients who have had there nose done 4 times or more---don't be one of them.

Fillers & Injectables for Post-Rhinoplasty Deformities

While it is frustrating for patients to wait for the swelling to subside after a rhinoplasty, the best long-term solution to adequately address post-rhinoplasty deformities is to wait a minimum of 6 to 12 months before considering any fillers or injectibles. The deformity of nose will dictate how much of the injectable substance is required to achieve the desired result. While injectable fillers may be appropriate for treating localized deformities such as depressions or a low bridge, large... more
