When Hyaluronic Acid is Injected into the Nose How Malleable is It?

Proper placement is more important than malleability of facial fillers. If it’s placed right, you shouldn’t have to do a lot of massage with the procedure. Hyaluronic acid fillers are slightly malleable, but you don’t want to depend on that for good results.

I have had great experience using hyaluronic acids for non-surgical rhinoplasty.   My filler of choice for the nose is Perlane, a slightly thicker version of Restylane.  The hyaluronic fillers have the advantage of being soft, effective at contouring, and reversible.

In my practice we use Perlane for non-surgical rhinoplasty to perform the following maneuvers:


Add definition to the nasal tip

Camouflage a nasal hump

Contour the nose

Fill in concavities for symmetry.


Non-surgical rhinoplasty should be considered an advances filler technique.  It's important to be very familiar with the anatomy to avoid injury to the skin and underlying arteries. 

Be careful and place your face in skilled hands!

Hi.

Juvederm is the hyaluronic acid product which we use the most in New York City.  It is very malleable and good for superficial application in non surgical rhinoplasty.  We use Radiesse for deep problems.
