Can Fillers Correct my Nose After Rhinoplasty? (photo)

Question

The left side of my nose has a dip & also veers to the left after rhinoplasty. I have been advised that a 2nd procedure will not guarantee results and I do not want further op's as I am scared of further errors/money. I have had a consultaion for fillers in one side of my nose and the surgeon also recommended botox in the other side to relax the muscle. Would you recommend this? Is it safe? I asked the surgeon about necrosis & he advised that this does not apply to me as he wont inject the tip.

Hello,

	 

	Although your photos do not show the deformity clearly, I believe that a temporary solution of injecting fillers after a certain amount of recovery established could help your situation.

	Nonetheless, if you are seeking a permanent solution then a correcting surgery is to be considered and in your case should not be attempted before you have your final results established (usually at a year post-op).

	 

	I recommend that you communicate with your surgeon AND other board certified surgeons of extensive experience who will guide you to make a well informed decision.

	Thank you for your inquiry

	Best of wishes.

	Dr. Sajjadian

Yes fillers can be done and if done by a skilled surgeon you should have good results. Botox is not needed for this!

Thank you for your question. In my opinion, fillers can be used after rhinoplasty to correct minor deformities. You need to wait until the swelling is minimal. Botox unlikely to work on the nose.
I hope this helps. Best wishes. Dr. Salameh (Plastic surgeon - Bowling Green, KY)

A filler can be used to help smooth your post-rhinoplasty result. Restylane is probably the best option given that it doesn't have as much propensity to draw water to it, making it a bit more precise. As far as safety is concerned,it is very unlikely that anything would happen if injected correctly and carefully, but there have been multiple reports of necrosis from injections done in just about every part of the nose (unfortunately, injecting outside of the tip does not exclude the possibility of necrosis). Nothing is risk free, but overall, filler for this issue would be a safe option.

The photos are not sufficient to determine if dermal fillers will be able to help. Consult with an experienced rhinoplasty and nonsurgical rhinoplasty expert who can evaluate and recommend the best course.
