Filler in the corner of nostrils?

For a more specific answer, you may wish to read ask you a question with photographs of your nose. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello Princess,
Sculptra is commonly injected at the corner of the nose along with injecting it throughout the face. If I am treating a patient for facial rejuvenation, I almost always inject Sculptra on the bone at the corner of the nose. Adding filler at the corner of the nose helps alleviate the naso-labial fold. Sculptra in this area requires multiple treatments separated by 8 to 12 weeks. For a patient who only wants this area treated, I would recommend having 0.5 ml of a hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane Lyft or Voluma injected on the bone instead. This an area that should only be injected by an expert physician injector as it must be done carefully and properly to avoid catastrophic complications. Feel free to contact our office with any further questions or concerns. Good luck and be well.

The use of a robust HA filler into the hollow at the base of the nose (the top of the smile fold) called the pyriform fossa is a common procedure in the hands of an experienced filler injector. Very often filling this area is the first step BEFORE directly treating the whole smile fold, since often the latter will not be necessary. Because of the important vasculature in this area, treating this area should be left to the hands of an experienced board certified filler physician, such as a cosmetic dermatologist. Results are typically immediate and the treatment engenders little to no post-treatment downtime. Sculptra , which is relatively expensive, and requires usually three treatment sessions, does not yield immediate results and I no longer use this product. Hope this helps and best of luck.
