I feel the dorsal hump is getting bigger 5 months POST filler for nose. What should I do? (Photos)

Question

Hi I had filler in my nose in Feb 2022 five months ago. I loved the immediate result but feel the filler has either migrated or worn off. And now I feel the dorsal hump is bigger than to begin with! It feels hard like bone, not like filler. I have not had any injuries. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

I can't imagine how filler could actually, fair dinkum, make the bump bigger.  Psychologically I can definitely understand how it might feel like that though. Looks to me like the filler is still visible in the tip so I'm not sure what happened to the dorsal stuff. I'm presuming you've never taken cocaine, which is one thing that certainly can cause progressive midvault collapse.

I guess the lesson is that filler in the nose is just a tool and just doesn't get the job done always.

If you had temporary filler in your nose, you are likely seeing the appearance of your bump now that the filler has gone away. You may wish to consider a permanent non-surgical nose job with Silikon1000 for permanent results. Thank you! Dr Joseph

Is filler making your dorsal hump bigger? I don’t think the filler has migrated. I think it is simply wearing off and you are seeing and feeling your own bony dorsal hump again. Perhaps with the filler camouflaging the bump for a few months you got used to the look and now feel that the pump is bigger, but I doubt that it really is.
