Using filler to correct a dent in the nasal bridge following rhinoplasty
Hello, and thank you for posting a photo. I would be cautious when attempting to correct a dent in the nasal bridge with fillers. There are some risks from attempting to modify the appearance of the nose using filler, which is also known as a non-surgical rhinoplasty. Risks may include the following:
1) Asymmetry
2) Necrosis, or death of the skin (the most serious side effect)
In general, filler can also be used to mildly lift a drooping tip, and may be used to augment the...

Be very careful with filler in the nose
I am extremely conservative about putting filler in the nose as I have seem some real disasters. However, for very small imperfections, a small amount of Restylane often works well. You should be very wary of any other injectables placed in the nose, as many of them can cause serious complications.

Nasal Dent After Rhinoplasty #nosejob
Fillers can be an excellent supplement to Rhinoplasty for small areas of imperfection like what you are asking about. If you are overall very happy with your result I would say try some fillers. If it does not do what you want then seek an opinion about revision surgery.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty treatments may be used to fill indentations after previous Rhinoplasty Surgery.
I read your concern and reviewed the frontal photo you posted. You may consider consulting a physician experienced in the art of using fillers in the nose. My personal preference and experience is with Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results.
I agree that revision rhinoplasty may be extreme, and should be left as a last resort.
Hope this helps you.

Fillers after rhinoplasty
Dear Medic02,
Fillers are a great temporary substitute for surgery
There are permanent fillers, but if you do them, it would make revision surgery very difficult should you want it in the future

Rhinoplasty revision or fillers with concave mid nose.
Rhinoplasty revision or fillers with concave mid nose is the question. Fillers such as Radiesse - Juvederm can be used. When you want a permanent correction you will need cartilage grafts to fill the concavities.

Liquid rhinoplasty. Fillers for nasal defects.
Hi, thanks for your question.
Absolutely! Fillers are a great way to improve nasal contour...temporarily.
I have a few patients that don't want t undergo surgery that I treat about once a year with hyaluronate (Restylane). They love it, it's easy and reproducible.
Hope this helps.
