Is there any way to add some "bulk" back to the nose tip after rhinoplasty?

Question

How could this be done. How can you restore a somewhat "bulbous" tip. Does fascia work?

P. Daniel Ward, MD · Answer

Adding bulk back to the nose can certainly be performed. Fascia or cartilage are the most frequently used tissue. You can also consider using filler, which might be cheaper and more predictable.

Evan Ransom, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for the question. Without photos and some history, I can only provide very general information. For a patient looking to add volume to the nasal tip, this typically involves cartilage and/or fascia grafts. The cartilage may come from the septum or the ear, and fascia is typically taken from the temporalis muscle (either behind the ear or behind the hair line). Best of luck!

Mitchell E. Blum, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

There are several ways to augment the nose, either from excessive surgery or aesthetic imbalance from one part of the nose to another.  Examination by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon would be needed to give you the best options.  Two directions on answering directly:  liquid rhinoplasty (injectable fillers) or implantation of tissue or other types of implants.
