Question

Would I be a good candidate for a non surgical nose job? The length doesn’t bother me, just the illusion of the slight bump due to what I think is lack of volume at the top of my nose close to my eyebrow area

Since the bump on the bridge of your nose is quite small, you may be a very good candidate for a permanent non-surgical nose job treatment with microdroplet Silikon-1000. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

A non-surgical nose job can be a great procedure for some patients, especially those with a small dorsal hump on the nose.  This procedure is typically used on patients with a bump or hump on the bridge of the nose, poor nasal definition of the dorsum, or patients with asymmetry of the nose.  In a non-surgical nose job, injectable fillers are used to change the shape of the nose and improve overall facial harmony.  Fillers are used to change the appearance of the nose and camouflage certain areas.  This is a complex procedure that does have risks, therefore, anyone seeking this procedure should find an expert physician injector who also performs rhinoplasty surgeries.  All the best,

Hello,Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you are a good candidate for a nonsurgical nose job.  A depressed area can be smoothened by the help of the fillers. A proper amount of fillers can alter the shape of this area avoiding a bigger appearance. To find out more please click on the attached link. Best Regards

Hi and thank you for your question! While an in-person consultation is needed, based on the pictures you appear to be a good candidate for non-surgical nose job. I usually recommend Voluma as it is a longer-lasting filler and most patients will have good improvements lasting 1-2 years with none or very minimal down-time. I hope it helps and good luck!

Hello, and thank you for your question! 
More recently liquid rhinoplasty’s have been in high demand and it has been a popular topic. I asses each patient individually and what changes in their features would improve their aesthetics most. We find that most patients looking for a surgical rhinoplasty end up being a great candidate for a non-surgical rhinoplasty. I have developed a technique of using filler to balance the facial features, referred to as Aesthetic Facial Balancing. This technique that I have created allows patients to get similar results as a surgical rhinoplasty, but with very little recovery time (avoiding residual swelling that can last up to one year) and giving them instant results in less than 20 minutes, with results lasting for up to 6 years. I use a hyaluronic based filler that is extremely safe for patients, and most patients are a good candidate for a liquid rhinoplasty. 
I hope this helps!
Wishing you fantastic results,Dr. Rian A. Maercks, M.D.

You are certainly an excellent candidate for non surgical rhinoplasty.  My suggestion to you is to see an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon who will be able to use computer imaging in order to show you the changes that you can expect from the use of dermal filler in the nose.  An experienced rhinoplasty surgeon will be able to explain to you what will make your nose look good, not simply tell you it looks good with filler.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (like Voluma, Restylane, Juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose, but surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. Best to see an expert. - Dr. Emer

I have been performing nonsurgical nose jobs for the past twenty years, since the very early days with Radiance, the forerunner of Radiesse and nowadays with injectable hyaluronic acid volumizer and filler products. When I first started, nonsurgical nose jobs with these products was limited to camouflaging nasal bumps and humps. What was happily discovered is that often by improving the nasal humps, the rest of the nose appeared more tapered.  (In time, the uses of nonsurgical, filler rhinoplasty expanded to include elevating droopy nasal tips, correcting nasal spine irregularities left by aggressive surgical nose jobs, and even to improving some forms of side wall asymmetries.) So, the short answer to your question is that it is possible to achieve the kind of improvement you desire by this means.In my NY office, I typically choose Restylane Lyft for these purposes, whereas in my Israel satellite facility, where a far greater number of regulatory agency approved fillers are available, I would opt for Hyabell.  The nose  is not a place for novice injectors trained to inject simple Restylane or Juvederm into ordinary smile lines. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician and insist upon seeing his/her personal before and after photos before agreeing to proceed. Best of luck.

As you found in your research, filler is often used to "fill in" the little depression above a bump, thus making the bump less noticeable. But it tends to make the nose look longer, and thus bigger, and most people aren't looking to have the nose made bigger.
Your nose has some strong features. The tip is strong in its forward projection away from your face. And it's "long," where we measure length from where the nose begins between the eyes, down along the bridge to the tip. So changing a "long" nose involves elevating the tip. "Classic" changes that a good surgeon would consider on your nose would be to elevate the tip, lower the little bump on the bridge, and bring the tip and the entire nose back closer to your face. Those changes get figured out in the morphs, before surgery.
If you get the little area above the bump filled in, it'll make your nose look longer, and thus bigger, so I think you could consider a rhinoplasty, but if not, don't have the filler as an alternative.
If you do decide to investigate a rhinoplasty, remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. 
Your nose is also a perfect example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he thinks he can change, and by how much he thinks he can change them. I always email morphs to my online rhinoplasty consultations. When you see the surgeon's goals in the morphs, you'll know whether he has an eye for an attractive nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes an attractive nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are large enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. 
But remember, you're not the surgeon for his skills with the computer. The doctor must then show you his before and after photos to prove that he can actually accomplish what he draws on the computer.

Camouflaging a dorsal hump with chronic acid filler such as Restylane  is an excellent option to improve nasal contour without committing to surgery, and can be performed in the office with minimal discomfort with excellent temporary results for carefully selected patients.  It seems like theis may be an excellent option for you. Be sure to trust your care to a specialist in best of luck to you.
