Should I get another rhinoplasty or fillers to raise the bridge of my nose? (Photos)

Question

Hi I had rhinoplasty a couple years ago, there is a hump and now I want to raise the bridge by just a little. I will provide photos. I’m just wondering should I get another rhinoplasty for a very small slight increase in my bridge or just get fillers. Which would be better?

Research abouf fillers in the perinasal and periorbital area, very risky stuff, besides they may destroy internally or create fibrotic damage.

There is a third option, a conservative shaving of that crest visible on the lateral photo you've posted; however... I have a gut feelling there are additional problems/deformities in that nose, experience drives me.

I'd have to see a complete set of images to give you a grounded opinion.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a a revision with a dorsal onlay graft consisting of diced cartilage wrapped in fascia. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Based on your posted photo showing the differences you’ve obtained from your previous rhinoplasty. I would recommend using a HA filler to see if the result can be obtained and then switching to a more permanent filler or a dermal fat graft. Best of virtual concert with expect fees to range $1200-$3000 depending on options chosen. Again, best of virtual consult with.
