Is nose filler after rhinoplasty too risky? (Photo)

nelib26Feb 28, 2022
Had rhinoplasty in 2007. I was (and still am) EXTREMELY pleased with the results. Plastic surgeon used bone graft to build up nose. Now 15 years later, a 2-3 mm tiny area on the tip of the nose looks like graft causing pressure on the skin. I do not want revision rhinoplasty. I would like a tiny bit of filler placed in that spot so that it does not show. Would that procedure be too risky?

Waiting would be the best idea for now. Your tissue should be still swollen after dissolving the filler. You could visit a board certified plastic surgeon after a month if your nose tip is still swollen. Physical examination is needed.

Since this is not an injectable filler, there would be no risk of blindness like with injectable temporary gel fillers. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Unfortunately, you appear to have relatively thick nasal skin and a short nose. Both examples that you show display thin nasal skin with a droopy nasal appearance and a dorsal hump. I do not believe you could reach these goals either surgically or nonsurgically. Thank you for your question....

In our experience, redness after fillers can last up to a year, but typically not longer. We have found IPL treatments to be helpful for reducing redness, however tincture of time should work too. Thank you. Dr Joseph
