Hello,i'm 4 month post septorhinoplasty.Already 2 weeks after cast removal i saw the asymmetry, thought it's because of swelling.Now even my surgeon agree,that's asymmetry. The nasal bone on 1 side is sunken.My surgeon suggested to fill that area with hyaluronic acid. Is it good idea 4 m.post op?My surgeon want to put the cartilage in order to fill the missing area on nasal bone instead to break the bone again after 6 m.post op.What do you think about this? How is the result in general?Thank you

Answer: Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Post-Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. After reviewing the photos, I note the asymmetry of the nasal bones. Before I provide a detailed answer, do you have breathing issues? This may change the ultimate treatment, as hyaluronic acid fillers will not correct any breathing abnormality. Otherwise, facial fillers can often be a good indication to "symmetrize" the nose without revision surgery. The upside? Minimal downtime, no surgical intervention, and the procedure takes 5 minutes. The downside? It's not permanent. Discuss options with your surgeon and use the hyaluronic acid filler in the meantime until you decide on the final treatment.

Answer: Post rhinoplasty asymmetry Thanks for your question and photos. Hyaluronic avid to fill in temporary asymmetries is common and can be very safe and effective in expert hands. 4-6 months post op is reasonable. I would definitely avoid revision surgery until the 1 year mark to ensure you get the most accurate, long lasting revision.
