Is Tape Cast Necessary After Juvederm Injected into the Nose?

The surgeon I am going to to get Juvederm injected to raise the nasal bridge tells me that it will need to be taped in place for a week so that it doesn't move or change shape. I've never heard this before, but I've also never had Juvederm injected in this area before. Is this normal procedure or is he being extra or unneccessarily cautious?

Non-Surgical Treatment of Nasal Deformities: Radiesse vs. Hyaluronic acid

I have used both Radiesse and hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvéderm, Restylane) to correct nasal deformities and improve shape. If the goal is to augment the dorsum of the nose, then Radiesse, placed deep over the bone or cartilage works best; and a splint is not necessary. If the deformity involves the nasal tip, hyaluronic acid fillers can be carefully used to provide nice correction; and a splint is not necessary. In either case, the patients are asked not to massage or manipulate the... more

No, you do not need tape on your nose after injections for your nose. Juvederm and Radiesse injections are great for shaping the nose and camouflaging minor imperfections. Good Luck.

Juvederm in nose

Juvederm or fillers similar are absorbable and over time they will go away. I have used it for minor irregularities of the nose but do not like it augment the bridge for long term results.

Tape not necessary for filler nose job

I agree with the other doctors. No tape is needed for a filler placed in the nose. I use Juvederm, Radiesse and Restylane in the nose.

Tape cast

I will add my opinion to that of the others. I never heard off a "tape cast" and too much pressure is the last thing that I would want and I would not use Juvederm. I would use Radiesse or if I was afraid of your not liking it might use Perlane.

Using tape to stabilized dermal fillers in the nose.

Assuming that the nose is not manipulated for a few days followng injection, tape is not necessary to stabilize the filler. I also agree with others that recommend Radiesse over hyaluronic acid fillers in the nose. Mario J. Imola, MD, DDS.

Tape Cast after Juvederm

No, I don't use tape casts after Juvederm and in my opinion, a hard tape job is a lot of pressure and pushing on the area, something I don't recommend after any filler in all actuality. You need to discuss with the injector why he wants to do this and see what he says, but it's not something I do in my practice.

Tape not necessary for non surgical nose job.

Hi. That's what this procedure is popularly called. The other point I would make is that, although we use a lot of Juvederm for other things, for building up the bridge of the nose we think Radiesse injected deeply against the bone and cartilage gives the best results and lasts the longest. see video

Is Tape Cast Necessary After Juvederm Injected into the Nose?

Juvederm shouldn't move around after being injected, IMHO but you'll have to ask the MD that's doing the Juvederm Injection why he wants to use a cast and tape on the nose. I'd think the act of placing a cast, on the nose, after the injections would be more likely to move the Juvederm than doing nothing IMO.

Nasal taping for nasal reshaping with Juvederm?

It is totally surgeon preference, but in my practice I do not routinely tape the nose after injections. I agree you do not want to manipulate the soft tissue over the nose at first and you may want to discuss specific post injection instructions with your physician. I hope this helps, good luck

Juvederm for nose

I would pay close attention to what your surgeon is saying. everyone does things slightly differently and that has to do with the surgeon's level of comfort and the way they do certain procedures. if you have any concerns or reservations about his technique youre entitled to another opinion or even better to discuss with your doctor in person
