Hi! I am a 25 yo with a nose that i think is too short for my face. I do not like my columella, and think my nose is round. Is it operable, or could filler make it look better? I

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos, rhinoplasty is always a permanent and more reliable way, nose filling is a very dangerous procedure and we do not recommend it. For get rid of this image I recommend you rhinoplasty surgery.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Filler is mainly good for small areas. For a bigger change like you want, rhinoplasty would be better. Your tip could be made less round and your nose brought down a little. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

While fillers can effectively conceal minor flaws, they fall short in delivering satisfactory outcomes for more significant alterations. Your best course of action would involve reshaping the nasal tip and making slight adjustments to elongate the nose, yielding the most ideal outcome.

Based on your photos, I would not recommend rhinoplasty surgery. If you are self-conscious about the amount of nostril show that is seen on front view, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered for lowering your nostril margins. If you are concerned by the curvature of your bridge, Silikon-1000 may also be considered to raise your bridge during a permanent non-surgical nose job treatment. I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you you are a much better candidate for a surgical rhinoplasty rather than a filler. The surgical technique for you would include tip derotation and deprojection. Extended spreader grafts can be placed to derotate your nasal tip and nasal tip deprojection can be performed at the same time. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

A short nose and upturned nose is something that can definitely be corrected with a rhinoplasty. There are techniques that we use to elongate the nose and change the angle of rotation of the tip. Fillers can do a good job of correcting a bump on the bridge but are definitely NOT a good option for a short/upturned nose. Fillers in the nose, if not used correctly can cause a lot of problems, so make sure whoever evaluates you for this knows what they are doing.

In your side view, the nasal columella angle is about 90 degrees. You have a weak chin and would benefit from a chin implant. You would also benefit from a lip lift. A lip lift does 4 things: shortens the distance between your nose and upper lip, increases the mucosa of the upper lip, increases the incisor show and pulls up the corners.

Hi 
Filler usually help correcting minor deformites. It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery 
process.

Nhan Ho, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Choosing between filler for nose shaping and rhinoplasty depends on your goals, budget, and the extent of change you desire. Fillers can temporarily alter the shape of the nose, but they're not permanent and may require regular touch-ups. Rhinoplasty offers more permanent results but involves surgery and recovery time. Rhinoplasty can be used to address various nasal concerns, including correcting an upturned nose. It involves reshaping the nasal structure to achieve the desired appearance. However, it's important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific goals and whether with a qualified cosmetic surgeon can help you decide which option is best for you.
