Hello,I underwent surgery to fix a dent I had on the side of my nose which caused a slight depression. I believe a batten graft was placed to fix the dent. It is very visible. I would like to know what my options are to camouflage it and make my nose look more symmetrical. Can anything non-surgical be done? Any in-office procedures? I am trying to avoid another operation. I appreciate all the feedback. Thanks

Answer: Options to camouflage a nasal tip Cartilage grafting techniques are the mainstay for this type of issue. It's important to know how much cartilage is left on the inside of your nose for potential grafting purposes before undergoing a revision nasal surgery. We do not recommend injectable fillers in the tip of the nose

Answer: Some options... Try fat or Restylane injections. Thought the graft did not fill the enitre space, sometime scarring may be the culprit. Placing fat between the graft and the skin will fill the area and break any scarring that has formed. Of course, this may have to be repeated. You do not want the surgeon to overfill the area. It is easier to come back after 3-4 weeks if more is needed. It should last for at least one year or longer. Either way this is a simple fix and done in the office in a few minutes.
