Is it possible to inject on the sides of the nose? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I have a slightly deviated septum which has bothered me for most of my life and while to most people it’s not perceptible it has taken a toll on my self esteem. I’ve recently seen two highly reputable surgeons who have said they wouldn’t operate a rhinoplasty on me as it wouldn’t be worth the risk for the small change. Also tried asking three practices if they could inject the side of my nose to even out with filler and I’ve also been told no. Can this be done with an expert though?

Based on your photos, you appear to have a reverse C-shaped appearance to your nose. Depending on your examination, micro droplet Silikon 1000 may be injected into the concave side to provide a straighter nasal appearance permanently. I hope this helps and I wish you were moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

During nonsurgical rhinoplasty or nose job, it's possible to add volume to the nose. That means when asymmetry results from depressions or lack of volume, then nonsurgically these areas can be improved by adding filler during nonsurgical rhinoplasty. With an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon skilled in nonsurgical rhinoplasty, improved symmetry should be a reasonable goal, though the result will be temporary.
