I got nose filler (Restylane Lyft) 6 months ago. I’ve had it dissolved 7x and it’s not the same. Can I get my old nose back?

You are certainly a handsome young man, and you appear to have a somewhat large nasal appearance with a dorsal hump and a bit of a droopy tip. In general, we do not advocate non-surgical nose job procedures for conditions like this. Depending on your examination, rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a smaller and less distracting nasal appearance. Please consider meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who offer computer Imaging so you could see what might be best for you moving forward. In general, it's best to keep your rhinoplasty surgeon close to home. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the filler and the distress it has caused you. Here is some information that may help you explore your options:

Consult with a Specialist: It's important to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics and has experience with filler corrections. They can assess your situation in detail and provide personalized advice.

Time and Natural Resolution: Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane Lyft typically dissolve naturally over time. While you've had it dissolved multiple times, some residual effects might still be present. Over more time, your tissue may continue to return to its natural state.

Surgical Options: If you're considering surgical intervention, a rhinoplasty might be an option to restore or even enhance your nose to a shape that you feel comfortable with. A consultation with a skilled facial plastic surgeon can provide insights into what can be achieved surgically.

Non-Surgical Alternatives: Depending on your situation, additional non-surgical options might be available. However, after multiple dissolving treatments, it's crucial to proceed cautiously and under the guidance of an experienced professional.

Emotional Support: Feeling distressed about changes to your appearance is understandable. Seeking support from a mental health professional can be beneficial as you navigate your feelings and decide on the next steps.

Research and Recommendations: If you decide to pursue further treatment, research specialists with excellent reputations and reviews. Consider seeking recommendations from trusted healthcare providers or individuals who have had similar procedures.

Your priority should be to find a trusted specialist who can guide you through your options safely and effectively.
