Is it possible to fill these ‘dimples’ at the top of my nose bridge? (Photos)

Question

My first op was closed, to correct a bulbous tip/bump in bridge. Then Rhinoplasty 2 - open, under sedation adjustment to correct columella and shrink the tip a little more. I’m 6 months post, and Surgeon 2 said I had a LOT of edema, but ever since my first op I’ve developed weird dimples at the top of my nose, either side of the bridge. Surgeon 1 used filler to smooth them out years ago, but my usual filler gal (LOL) says she wouldn’t dare inject on the side of the nose. Could someone advise?

Unlike temporary gel fillers, microdroplet Silikon-1000 is never associated with necrosis, embolism, stroke, blindness, biofilm, or infection. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe used to fill the indentations along your nasal bone on both sides. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Dear littledoe9,
generally speaking, dermal fillers are a great option for correction of small irregularities on nose. I would recommend finding a plastic surgeon to perform you lip injections. Most of my patients have results that last at least 6 months.

Hi littledoe9,
Thank you for your question and your photos.  Dermal fillers like Restylane are a great way to shape, contour and correct volume loss or irregularities at the nose.  
There are some high risk areas, and the dimples you mention are very high risk.  There is a risk of vascular occlusion and blindness when treating these areas.  It may be possible to treat the nasal bridge in the middle, but it’s very important to have this area evaluated by a specialist.
We recommend you seek out a consultation with an experienced injector so that they can assess your anatomy and decide if you are a good candidate for this particular treatment.  
Here is a video and a link to our blog that talks about Non-Surgical Rhinoplasties post-op.
We hope this is helpful.  Good luck and stay beautiful!

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a great option to help camouflage certain irregularities on the nose. In the hands of an experienced injector, optimal results can be achieved. I prefer to use Restylane Lyft for this procedure and only inject with a microcannula-never a needle, which greatly reduces many of the scary risks involved with dermal filler. I highly recommend you schedule an in-person consultation with an injector that has a great deal of experience injecting the nose.

It looks like the dimples are caused by the fracturing of the nasal bonesSmall amount of hyaluronic acid filler is a very easy way to fix this
