Somehow in the last few years the dent in my nasal tip has become more defined and bothers me. I'm scared to have surgery performed and am wondering if fillers like juvederm can be used successfully to correct the issue.

Answer: Nasal Tip Cleft Suzclem, Thank you for the pictures. Your pictures demonstrate that you have strong and well defined tip cartilages (lower lateral cartilages) resulting in the cleft seen. The nasal skin shrink wraps around he natural cartilage in this area resulting in the clefting you are observing. Using filler (e.g. Juvederm) to cover the cleft can be used, but I would advise taking a step-wise process in cautiously filling in the area to prevent over injecting and resulting in a more bulbous / elongated tip. I strongly recommend visiting a trusted rhinosurgeon who can thoroughly examine your nose and give you the pro's and con's of both an actual vs "liquid" rhinoplasty. I wish you all the best!

Answer: Nasal Fillers I do believe you are a good candidate for nasal filler. I would caution however to completely efface the bifid tip your nose may appear larger. I always start with less and bring patients back in two weeks for a second treatment to perfect the nose. This helps avoid excess filling in my opinion.
