The bridge of my nose has sunken pass the point and it's worse when I'm stressed or without proper sleep.It has bothered me since I was 30. Now in my 50's and would like it filled but have not seen anyone else with that problem. I was told it was a bad place for Restylane but the doctor has agreed to do it.
Answer: Restylane or Juvederm should be avoided in the nasal tip Restylane or Juvederm should be avoided in the nasal tip due to the risk of tip necrosis. This is a horrible complication to get. I have seen this occur in a patient treated elsewhere and it is hard to correct. The product or any injectable filler injected into the tip of the nose can result in vascular compromise and block the blood supply to the nose in that area. Along the top of the nose or dorsum it is safer in that area to use due to a greater blood supply. A better option might be to do a limited rhinoplasty.

Answer: Restylane Injection in the Nose? If the bridge of your nose has sunken, it sounds as if you will require some form of dorsal augmentation instead of injecting the tip of the nose. If this is true, the Radiesse would be a better choice due to its better volumizing capacity. That being said, fillers in the nose are an imperfect and temporary solution for this problem. All fillers carry a small but real risk of skin necrosis if injected directly into local blood vessels.

Answer: Fillers for nasal tip There is a remote risk of interference with blood flow to the nasal tip, or the region between the eyebrows if fillers are injected in the bridge or tip, If this occurs, the skin may develop an ulceration followed by a permanent scar. Excellent technique may not prevent this, but using a thin, not thick filler, and being conservative wtihout overfilling are important aspects of minimizing the risk. I have performed, with excellent results, filling nasal tip depressions after Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer. However, treating a nose for cosmetic improvement is very different than improving a scar that exists after reconstructive surgery for a skin cancer removal. If a scar develops after treating an unscarred nose for cosmetic puroposes, then this complication will be more bothersome to the patient and physician!

Answer: Restlylane for nasal tip The answer is yes, it can, but the notes that others have posted about tip necrosis are a minor issue. In my opinion, the risk of tip skin necrosis is so low that fillers to the tip are reasonable options. The majority of studies to date describe radiesse for non surgical rhinoplasty, but fillers like restylane and juvederm also apply. And because restylane and juvederm are reversible, may be more straight forward.

Answer: Restylane Volume Enhancement of the Nose Restylane and other hyaluronic acid facial fillers can be effectively used in the nose provided that a knowledgeable plastic surgeon has assessed the vascularity and skin perfusion of the tip and dorsum of the nose. Further, it seems that you lack structural support of the nasal dorsum and Restylane cannot provide any structural support.
