My nose is ruined due to severe sinus infections. Is it possible to get nose back to its previous shape?

Anon495873Nov 3, 2014
Past year I had severe allergies/sinus infections, and pulled/tugged on my nose as a result due to bad habit. My nose got stretched and wider, so I pinched the sides to try to get it more narrow, like its old shape. Now the nose appears worse than before, and much pointier. I regret doing this..Is there any way to get the nose back to its original shape, which i loved and complimented my face perfectly? I am getting anxiety, I no longer look like myself in the mirror. I fear I've ruined my nose

I would wait 6-12 months after fillers to do any nasal surgery, especially if you had a more longer lasting filler like Radiesse. I usually do not recommend injecting Radiesse into the nose. Radiesse tends to have more scarring and it’s more difficult to remove when doing rhinoplasty surgery. T...

Thank you for your question.  I do understand your concern, but it would be impossible to suppose without photos and an examination.  I would consult with your previous surgeon to do an examination.  Always best to check to be certain.  Best of luck to you!Dr. Pacella
