I have a severe inverted V due to a bad primary rhinoplasty which was performed in 08/15. I am in the process of searching for a revision rhinoplasty specialist. I understand that I must wait at least a year to have a revision, so I'm considering getting fillers in my nose for a temporary solution until I can find an experienced doctor. What is the general opinion in regards to having filler injected into the nose?? Is it safe? How successful is it? Any suggestions on experienced doctors?

Answer: Are fillers a safe option to temporarily treat an inverted V deformity? Hello samartaha,Thanks for your question.Yes, fillers are safe for temporary correction of your inverted V deformity.You may have to wait until the fillers dissolve in 9-12 months for revision surgery, but you can also use hyaluronidase enzyme injections to make it go away earlier if surgery is more pressing.The process is safe in experienced hands. It is quite successful in experienced hands. I would suggest you see an injection expert in your area for an evaluation and possible treatment. It is best if it is a revision rhinoplasty specialist as well. You have several in Houston.Good luck,Dr. Shah
