I had surgery on my nose to remove cancer. It left a big indentation. Would you recommend Restylane for filling this in. I have a few scars in that area also.

Answer: Filler for nasal defect Fillers will give temporary relief. We would prefer Restylane or Juvederm rather than semipermanent fillers, especially on the nose, which can form granulomas in some cases. Finesseful, artistic reconstructions can usually done that will give permanent improvement by restoring the tissues lost to cancer by using tissues like the ones that were removed, all from the patient's own body. Board certified plastic surgeons with an interest in cancer reconstructions are ideal to consult with for this problem.

Answer: Injections for nasal deformity Injections can be helpful but very unpredictable. I would prefer to use something like Radiesse which is a bit thicker and more long lasting. Restylane does not last that long and neither does juvederm. Good luck.
