Hi. I was wondering whether Restylane Silk or Restylane Refyne gives better results for a liquid nose job. And does one give a longer lasting result over the other? Refyne seems to be the consistently more expensive option and I don’t understand why. Thanks for any input!
Answer: Both products are HA products. In general, the success of a non-surgical nose job treatment is dependent upon the person who is holding the syringe. Some surgeons have preference for one filler over another. In our practice, we advocate microdroplet Silikon 1000 nasal injections for those who are looking for a permanent nonsurgical nose job, who are good candidates for this procedure. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Answer: Filler for a Non-Surgical Nosejob Hi and thanks for your question. Restylane Silk is not an appropriate filler for sculpting the nose. It is a filler designed for fine lines and does not give the lift you need for changing the contours of the nose. That being said, Refyne is not much better. I would not choose either of these.

Answer: Non Surgical Nosejob Candidate-- with Fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose. Surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Refyne Refyne is newer filler that differs from previous fillers, because it stretches and has more elasticity. It has been used outside of the US for quite a long time and was only relatively recently approved. As a result of the different technology, it is more expensive.

Answer: Restylane silk or refyne Refyne is more expensive because it is the newer product of the two and also the cross-linking technology used in the Refyne generation of Restylane products has the product lasting much longer than the Silk generation. I prefer a dissolvable HA filler such as VOLUMA which lasts a long time, but can be reversed if it is not to your liking. It also has greater lift of the tissue than the restylane products so it is good for areas which need structure such as the bridge. If you are trying to blend areas and not add structure, then Restylane can be used insead,. It is best to have an in-office examination to determine which will work best for you. Sometimes a combination of fillers can be beneficial although you usually only need one type for a liquid nose job. Hope this helps!
