Is there a procedure I could get to reduce my nose without surgery? (photo)

Question

I am African American and I feel like my nose is on the larger side , is there any procedure that could reduce the size of my nose without surgery?

Jose Barrera, MD · Answer

Ethnic rhinoplasty requires a balanced approach to improve the dorsum of the nose and narrow the nasal tip. Unfortunately using a filler will not work to narrow the nose, but can be used to achieve a higher dorsum or bridge of the nose.

Joseph A. Eviatar, MD, FACS · Answer

Fillers are best used in the nose to correct an irregular area or contour defect.  They are not good at thinning the nose.  However if your nose is very flat, adding filler along the bridge can give an appearance of a thinner nose.  Only with a  consultation with an experienced injector can you determine if filler will help in your situation.

Only surgery can make a nose smaller. Makeup can camouflage the way it looks, but it is surgery that changes noses
