Can nose fillers be reversed?

Question

Can fillers used in nonsurgical rhinoplasty be reversed if not pleased with?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Sometimes patients consult us for rhinoplasty surgery after having had previous temporary gel fillers. I have been amazed that nasal HA filler may dissolve within 48 hours of receiving the dissolving enzyme. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you for your question! Depending on the product that is used it is possible to reverse fillers with no surgery, just by simply injecting another specific product into the filler. The most commonly reversible fillers used for nose injections are Juvederm and Restylane, both made with hyaluronic acid. However, there are other fillers in the market that may be used for nose jobs but that are not reversible with injections, and the patient may require surgery remove the filler. Hope this helps. Best! Dr. Miotto.

Hi and thanks for your question. Most fillers used for Non Surgical Rhinoplasty can be reversed. As long as they are made from hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma, Lyft, etc), a simple injection of enzyme will dissolve the filler. Radiesse and Bellafill and Silicone cannot be reversed. Hope that helps.

Yes, HA fillers used for non-surgical nose-jobs can be reversed with hyaluronidase. It may take a series of treatments. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Minor defects of the bridge (dorsum), central nose and tip of the nose can be very precisely and quickly corrected with fillers.  Improved definition of the tip, and straightening of the dorsum may be achieved. This may also result in straighter, thinner appearing nose. Reduction of a prominent dorsum or tip requires surgery.
Various fillers are available Radiesse, Bellafill, autologous fat, Voluma and Lyft are options.  Depending on your expectations for longevity and budget (pricing between $500 and $1900) a product can be chosen to best fit your needs.
There are no fillers that have been tested in this area by the FDA and therefor are considered "off label use".
Please consult in person with an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to making treatment decisions.
