Could non-surgical rhinoplasty help me? (Photo)

Filler can help with the saddle nose part but it won't help with the other concerns. If you think you might be considering a revision rhinoplasty, I would go ahead and save your money and time and invest it into that instead.

I'm sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the outcome of your rhinoplasty. Non-surgical rhinoplasty, also known as a liquid rhinoplasty, involves the use of injectable fillers (like hyaluronic acid) to temporarily alter the shape of the nose. This procedure can address certain aesthetic concerns, but it has its limitations.

Potential Benefits of Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty for Your Concerns:

1. **High Nostrils**: Fillers can sometimes help to create a more balanced appearance by adding volume in specific areas of the nose.

2. **Hanging Columella**: While fillers might not directly lift a hanging columella, they can be used to adjust the surrounding areas to create a more harmonious look.

3. **Polybeak Deformity**: Fillers can be used to smooth out irregularities and create a more streamlined nasal profile.

4. **Saddle Nose**: Fillers can add volume to depressed areas, potentially improving the profile of the nose.

Limitations:

1. **Temporary Results**: Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not permanent. The effects typically last 6-18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.

2. **Severe Deformities**: For significant structural issues like a pronounced saddle nose or severe polybeak deformity, fillers may not provide a satisfactory or long-term solution.

3. **Pig-Like Appearance**: The overall shape and appearance of the nose can be influenced by many factors. While fillers can help in certain cases, they might not completely address your concerns.

Considerations:

- **Consultation**: It's crucial to consult with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist who specializes in non-surgical rhinoplasty. They can assess your specific situation and determine if fillers are a viable option for you.

- **Risks and Benefits**: Discuss the potential risks, benefits, and limitations of non-surgical rhinoplasty with your provider to ensure you have realistic expectations.

- **Alternative Options**: In some cases, a revision surgical rhinoplasty might be necessary to achieve the desired results, especially for more complex structural issues.

Next Steps:

1. **Seek a Second Opinion**: If you haven't already, consider seeking a second opinion from another experienced plastic surgeon. They can provide insight into whether a non-surgical approach could meet your needs or if revision surgery is recommended.

2. **Non-Surgical Consultation**: Schedule a consultation with a specialist who performs non-surgical rhinoplasty to explore this option further.

3. **Evaluate All Options**: Carefully weigh the pros and cons of non-surgical versus surgical approaches based on professional advice.

The decision will depend on your specific anatomy, the nature of your concerns, and your goals. A thorough evaluation by a qualified professional is essential to determine the best course of action for you.

Hello there Straighty,
I'm afraid that your best course would be revision rhinoplasty by a revision expert. I would be happy to recommend a few when you are ready. I would not waste your time and money on nasal fillers. Good luck and be well.

On your photos, you do not appear to have an upturned nasal tip appearance, nor do you have a polly beak. I believe that the upper 1/3 of your nasal bridge was lowered a bit too much and there is a small bony irregularity there. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered for filling the top of your bridge for a smoother nasal profile appearance. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

yes fillers can help smooth out the irregularities in your dorsum (bridge of the nose area) It won't help with the saddle nose deformity on the sides. It can raise the tip and lengthen it, helping with the pollybeak, although hard to say whether it will solve it 100%.
