Hello there. I have a consultation with my surgeon this Thursday for rhinoplasty. I've been told before that I have a low radix and and a minor hump. I've been researching Silikon 1000 as a nose filler, and it seems it has mixed results. I know it's not FDA approved, but can I still bring it up to my surgeon ? Or will he be rather appalled ?

Don't use fillers instead of a rhinoplasty
It looks as if you are a great candidate for a rhinoplasty. Do not use fillers instead - especially one not approved by the FDA. We do great noses and have done them for years, don't mess with unapproved stuff and fillers in a nose.
