Filler Now, Small Revision Rhinoplasty Later for Nose Dent?

February 28, 2010
Asked By:Sara04 in New York

I need to have a dent above my tip filled in after a revision rhinoplasty. Can I have temporary filler put in for the year I will have to wait before a more permanent solution, like filling in the space with soft tissue or cartilage? Will the filler disolve enough in time? Is this a good idea?
