Can a non surgical nose job correct my crooked columella? (photos)

Question

I had rhynoplasty a year ago and it seems like my columella is wonky looking. I was wonder if I can add filler to it bc I really don’t want to go under more plastic surgery to fix it? The 2nd photo show the results I would be happy with.

Generally, the base view of the nose is the least important. I can see that you appear to have added a little bit of volume to your left medial crural footplate. Depending on your examination, this might be feasible.  In our practice we prefer to use microdroplet Silikon-1000 for permanent results. Hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

The simple answer here is yes, a low viscosity, cohesive HA filler can be injected into the columella to create create symmetry. I have personally done this when the need arises (which is often some time subsequent to a prior surgical rhinoplasty).  However, this should only be performed by a very experienced injector for two reasons. For one, .novice injectors have little to no experience with injecting in this area being most accustomed to injecting simple simple smile lines with ordinary Restylane or plain Juvederm. Secondly, and at least as importantly, both the potentially distorted anatomy of the blood vessels and tissue scarring within  a nose that has undergone prior surgery significantly increase the risk of adverse reactions making it essential that injecting this area with filler be performed by a truly experienced injector.  Hope this helps. Best of luck.
