Can a non surgical nose job help to fix a pointy nose? (photos)

Question

Hi. I am considering a NON-SURGICAL rhinoplasty, (nose fillers). I am very insecure about the pointy tip of my nose. My nose is also very sloped. Do you think a non surgical rhinoplasty would be suitable to help my nose achieve a more rounded look? Rather than my current pointy nose.

That said, you appear to have an overprojected nasal tip appearance. And it also appears to be a bit droopy. I believe you would be a better candidate for rhinoplasty surgery for nasal tip rotation and deprojection. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

You might be a very good candidate for a nonsurgical rhinoplasty since you are looking to add a bit of size rather than reduce the nose. During this procedure, small amounts of dermal filler are strategically injected into the nose to create size and correct the shape and contour. This procedure requires a tremendous amount of precision for both safety and optimal results. Choose a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in nonsurgical rhinoplasty techniques to ensure an optimal outcome.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

In your particular case, a nonsurgical rhinoplasty could indeed be a good choice for you. A bit of well-placed filler can add the subtle volume necessary to reduce the pointy appearance and create a proportionate size and shape to the nose. Keep in mind that fillers are a temporary solution. You will need to repeat your treatment periodically to maintain your results. If you decide you want a more permanent correction in the future, rhinoplasty is likely your best bet. I encourage you to find a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in all types of rhinoplasty techniques for further assessment and a customized treatment plan.

you would need a surgical proceudre to Improve the tip to round. I suggest you see an expert. I do not think a rounded look would fit your face though.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Your nose is very strong in its forward projection from your face. The tip can be brought back closer to your face. We call that "de-projecting" the tip. 
The woman in the short video that I posted with this answer had the tip of her nose de-projected a significant amount in her operation, though probably more than your nose would require.
Then, when a nose is de-projected, it tends to *look* longer, as if the tip had drooped. So it's important to elevate the tip as well. That movement also goes a long way to making a nose appear less prominent.
How *much* to elevate the tip, or deproject the nose? We figure that out with morphs, well before surgery. I'd love for you to see some excellent professionally-designed morphs of what could possibly be done with your nose. Morphs could also help you identify what's bothering you, and help you set a goal for the rhinoplasty that's accurate for your tastes. Profile and three-quarter views would be particularly important in morphing your nose. (Side note: in my opinion, morphs should always be done by the surgeon, or he should direct an assistant as she makes the morphs. Morphs should be made with a constant eye to what actually *can* be done in surgery, for that particular nose, and only the surgeon has that information and judgment. Another aside: I also recommend that you not show morphs made by one surgeon to a different surgeon. If a surgeon makes his *own* morphs, you get to see whether he understands the important issues of your nose, and how your nose should be changed. But if you show the surgeon someone else's morphs, and he says "Of course I can make your nose look like that," then you don't really know if he fully understands, or even recognizes, the important changes shown in those morphs. And you don't know if he can make those changes during surgery.)
Remember that rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes that your nose needs require advanced techniques, and skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. For most noses, it's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.
Your nose is also a perfect example of why computer imaging by the operating surgeon is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he thinks he can change, and by how much he thinks he can change them. I always email morphs to my online rhinoplasty consultations. When you see the surgeon's goals in the morphs, you'll know whether he has an eye for an attractive nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes an attractive nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are large enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. How would you ever get that figured out without the morphs?A "non-surgical" rhinoplasty is where filler is injected into the nose. That makes the nose bigger and more prominent, and I doubt that's what you're looking for!

Depending on your age and suitability you could have fillers to address your pointy nose as a non-surgical rhinoplasty. Augmenting the slope/dorsum can help create a natural slope and supra tip break. Columella filler can help turn the tip up to reduce the forward projection. Choosing the right product can give you a desirable but reversible result.

Looking at your photos you would be an ideal candidate for a non-surgical rhinoplasty in my opinion.
This would be done with some numbing cream then small alterations where you can guide me where you want the changes and I can guide you as to what in my professional opinion will give you the best aesthetic result.
Any filler can cause serious complications if not injected correctly so make sure you go to a fully qualified medical practitioner for a consultation before embarking on any treatment.
