For those patients who are not yet ready for a rhinoplasty, non-surgical improvements can be easily made. Fillers can be injected in the depression (called the radix) above the nasal hump. A variety of fillers can be used including Hyaluronic Acid fillers like Restylane or Juvederm (which can be dissolved), thicker fillers like Radiesse, or permanent fillers like Artefill. The procedure takes about 15 minutes and is very well tolerated. Costs run between $600 and 800 depending on what product is used.
Your depression is quite deep, so you should only expect partial improvement of your profile. For a more complete result, you should consider a rhinoplasty. Our office offers the Vectra 3-D imaging, so you can preview the results of non-surgical improvement prior to making a decision as to the appropriateness of this treatment for you.
