Can Fillers Correct my Nose After Rhinoplasty? (photo)

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.

For minor corrections after Rhinoplasty I do rely upon fillers but the patient must understand that this is a temporary treatment.  For those patients seeking a more permanent result I utilize a small piece of the patient's own cartilage or a piece of a synthetic material which is commonly used in breast surgery.  These second two options are permanent and are easy to do under a local anesthetic in the office.  In my estimation BOTOX has no benifit in treating nasal deformities.
