I am candidate for non surgical nose job, or should I have revision rhinoplasty? (photo)

Question

I had my nose broken badly about 3 years ago and after the first surgery my nose looked crooked and a big bump appeared on my bridge. My septum became deviated again (first surgery wasn’t performed properly) and I had a open revision to correct it about a year ago. At first I liked the results but now 9 months later, I have a bump on bridge again and nose looks ugly. Should I have another revision or should I consider a non surgical treatment ?

Overall, you have a pleasing nasal appearance. Depending your examination, permanent nonsurgical nose job treatments may be considered for camouflaging the bump at the top of your nose. You could consider a temporary filler as well to make sure that this is something that you would like. It's always best to keep surgery as a last resort. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (like Voluma, Restylane, Juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose, but surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. Best to see an expert. - Dr. Emer

Hi Isaac, thanks for your question and photos.  While both options will help hide the bump on your nasal bridge, they do so by opposite methods.  The filler will make your whole nose larger in order to hide the bump while revision rhinoplasty can remove the bump specifically without enlarging the rest of the bridge of your nose.  I think you can try some morphing of your own photos to get a better idea of what each option offers and pick the one you like better.  Hope this helps and best of luck to you!

Great question and thank you for providing photos! You would be a good candidate for a non surgical rhinoplasty. I would recommend using a semi permanent collagen based filler called Bellafill. This is a 5 year filler that would be used to disguise the bump on the bridge of your nose. If you're wanting to make sure you like the appearance of your nonsurgical rhinoplasty, I would recommend using Juvederm Voluma which lasts only 1-2 years but will dissolve completely.

A revision rhinoplasty is required to straighten the  crooked/ broken nose and shaved down the  dorsal hump. A septoplasty is required to improve airflow dynamics in the back of the nose if it is crooked blocking breathing
