Hello! I am interested in undergoing a rhinoplasty for my bulbous nose, I am wondering if filler would be a good option for me, but am worried because I have heard of migration. My nose is rather bulbous and droops when i smile so i'm worried that the rhinoplasty is going to be complicated and is a big factor as to why i'm scared of undergoing the surgery itself. Is rhinoplasty a more durable and effective option?
Answer: I Recommend Rhinoplasty | Facial Plastic Surgery Nose Job Expert | Bulbous Drooping Tip | Liquid | Beverly Hills Los Angeles Hello and thank you for your question. Addressing the shape of your nose (especially the nasal tip) is actually one of the most common reasons people seek out and undergo a rhinoplasty. Unfortunately, there are no good non-surgical approaches which would properly achieve what you're looking for (and nasal filler carries the risk of blindness)! An open septorhinoplasty can best address both your aesthetic concerns and any functional issues with your nose. I would be able to adjust the size, shape, and definition of your nose (including the tip)!

Answer: Rhinoplasty is your best option Nose filler can be used to hide a bump on the bridge, but has the side effect of making the nose look long and very strong. Your issue is really too much length and tip shape and position. The outcome of a rhinoplasty would be widely considered a better result than filler by any group of people.

Answer: Rhinoplasty The treatment for a bulbous nose is not fillers and will not work at all. You would benefit from a rhinoplasty. A rhinoplasty takes 2 hour to perform under general anesthesia and costs $8,000.

Answer: Bulbous tip -- filler or surgery? Hello and thank you for your question and photographs. Although an exam in person is ideal, from your photographs alone it appears that you can benefit from a subtle tip rhinoplasty where the nasal tip cartilage is modified for a more refined look to improve the bulbous aspect you discussed in your question. Fillers can be a temporary solution, by placing it on your tip to make it more "pointy" in appearance. However, fillers only serve as camouflage and would not address the problem directly. A bulbous tip needs to be reduced in volume -- fillers only add volume. In terms of the surgical details, the modification of your nasal tip cartilage can be done with trimming, stitching or grafting. I would also place a mastoid fascia tip graft between the reconstructed tip complex and your skin to (1) reduce cartilage prominence (tenting up of the nasal tip skin by cartilage) and (2) to also create a feminine tip-defining point (subtle natural upturn).

Answer: Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. You are an excellent candidate for rhinoplasty, I think it is one of the most beautifying surgeries that we do as plastic surgeons. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to rhinoplasty surgery. It is important to only see plastic surgeons with extensive experience in rhinoplasty, ie perform at least 6 per month and have performed hundreds of cases. Also, critically evaluate on-line galleries to see if their art form resonates with yours. Rhinoplasty is definitely a grey haired plastic surgeon's sport. Best wishes to you.
