Are fillers a good option for adding definition to ethnic nose, would fillers effect rhinoplasty later on?

Question

I love my facial Features although I feel like my nose is off setting to my face. My nose has no definition and disappears when I smile, it’s in contoured has a missing area on the bridge and extremely thin cartiligenous tissue surround my nose. Moreover, sometimes I get really bad congestion’s that leads to tooth aches and headaches.

It is conceivable that injectable fillers may be considered for contouring the appearance of a narrower nasal appearance, however, your nasal bones and nasal sidewalls attach to your face in a wide position and pleasing nasal narrowing might require osteotomies. All of that said, digital photos are rarely a substitute for an in person evaluation. Consider visiting several reputable rhinoplasty specialist who offer nonsurgical treatments to see whether or not something like this would be right for you. Good luck moving forward! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question.  It seems you would be a great candidate for a non-surgical nose job. It is always a good idea to start with the non-surgical option before considering surgery as it is usually more cost effective, achieves a natural look and has little downtime.   With fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, or Bellafill we can shape your nose to create a bridge and define the surrounding tissues.  In addition to filler, when Botox is also injected into the base of the nose (where the nose meets the upper lip), it can keep your nose from moving downward when smiling.  If there are issues of congestion and toothaches, you should consult with an ENT about what your surgical options would be. Sometimes issues of inflammation within the sinus cavities can cause these problems and are unrelated to the aesthetic appearance of the nose. Best of luck!

A nonsurgical rhinoplasty is wonderful technique to camouflage irregularities, dents, humps, and bumps of the nose. It won't affect your ability to get rhinoplasty later on. Your nose could be improved with rhinoplasty, which would give permanent improvements in symmetry, shape and profile. You can bring photos of noses that you think would be flattering to your face and these can be discussed. When you meet with a facial plastic surgeon, he or she will consider your nose in balance with your other features and can over the cost of the procedure. I hope this helps.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose. They would not affect surgery results later, but will not help your congestion. Surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello thank you for the question and photos, I am happy to help! 
The liquid nose job is a great procedure to help bring definition to the nose. After viewing your photos I believe you already have a great nose but the procedure may help you obtain better results. I recommend scheduling a consultation with a cosmetic physician in your area for an in person evaluation!
Best of luck on your cosmetic endeavor!
