Eyeglass dents on nose. Would Juvederm help?

Question

my eyeglasses leave marks and dents on the sides of my nose and I was told by my doctor that I have thin skin on the bridge of my nose, so I was thinking would juvederm injected on the sides of my nose where my eyeglass rest help prevent the dents.

I suggest you post photos and see a cosmetic dermatologist for a formal evaluation.    Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your excellent question.  Depending on an in-person examination of your skin quality a good dermal filler can be recommended to improve the dents left on the nose from eyeglasses.  Very little would be needed but will result in substantial improvement.  Hope this helps.

Juvederm Ultra or Ultra Plus can be injected to correct the depressions. Wearing a lighter pair of glasses will help the correction last longer. Substituting contact lenses, if possible, will prevent pressure on your nose and, thereby, allow some gradual improvement.

Absolutely, and get your glasses adjusted so they do not rest on your nose at all. If you keep on with your heavy glasses they will also hyperpigment your bridge of your nose and make you look older.

Fillers in the nose can definitely improve the appearance of scars or indentations in certain areas. An in person consultation is needed to really assess the area.  Best, Dr. Green
