I’ve had revision rhinoplasty to lift my tip four months ago, the first surgery was in 2016. I like my revision rhino results a lot but the more time goes on, the more I see my tip wasn’t lifted quite as much as I want. Could nose filler fix this? If so, how many months after would it be safe for me to get it?

Answer: Filler to lift tip after revision rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Filler can augment the nasal dorsum but it is very limited in its ability to lift the tip, because it is not firm enough to provide this kind of structural support. Additionally, it is temporary, and the risks of complications occurring from the filler, such as vascular compromise in a patient who has had a prior rhinoplasty. I would consult with a board certified surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty to see what options you have. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Answer: Nose filler after surgery Some noses can have a tip improvement/lift with just filler. I would recommend waiting at least a year after having tip rhinoplasty before attempting to place any filler into the nose. The blood supply is much more sensitive during this time and you will likely have residual swelling which will affect how the filler changes your nose shape. Hope this helps! Johnson C.
