Question

Flared Ala rim and slight dent in nose. Would I need a lot of filler? Is the before and after pics a plausible result?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

At least from the photos provided, it does appear that a cohesive, low viscosity HA filler can help to elevate the indentation and narrow the flared alar rim.  However, the nose, particularly a nose that has undergone surgical rhinoplasty, should not be left to the hands of an inexperienced, novice injector.  The nose is heavily vascularized, which makes it an area that must be treated with experienced caution. And prior surgery adds to the issue by creating scar tissue underneath that can further distort the vascular anatomy. Make sure that you consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.
