Would a non surgical nose job (nose filler) be able to fix the appearance of my hook nose and crooked nose? (photos)

Hi there,
Thank you for your question! Based on your photographs, you appear to be a good candidate for a Non Surgical Nose Job using facial fillers. I recommend an in person evaluation with your local Expert Injector. They will take a closer look at your concern, and determine the best treatment plan to suite your needs. Good luck!

Hello and thank you for your question. Unfortunately no, fillers would not be able to take the place of surgery, especially in your situation. It sounds like your biggest concern is your crooked nose, dorsal hump and the fact your tip appears slightly drooping, as you mentioned. These are due to the underlying anatomy present- a combination of your nasal bones and cartilage which makes the structural framework of your nose. Also, you have a high radix (portion between your eyes), meaning that if you attempted to use filler to mask the appearance of the hump, it would make the nose project even further from your face at this point, which would not look good at all. Addressing the shape of the nose is actually one of the most common reasons people seek out and undergo a rhinoplasty procedure.

In addition to addressing your aesthetic concerns, your septal cartilage (or an off-the-shelf alternative) would be harvested (removed) and turned into multiple cartilage grafts, which would then be secured into different areas of your nose for structural support, including in the columella (middle bottom portion of your nose between your nostrils) to really reinforce the tip and prevent long term alterations/distortions to nose shape.

The open approach is very effective in facilitating complex, precise maneuvers to refine the nasal shape and size to a particular aesthetic and look. Rhinoplasty is arguably the most difficult procedure to perform in all of plastic surgery. I would only recommend going to see a surgeon who feels very comfortable with both primary and revision rhinoplasty procedures, and who has significant training and experience in these types of surgeries. This is a surgery of millimeters, so if the surgeon you're going to only does 1-2 per month, you are not going to get the best result possible.

Of course it is always difficult to provide tentative surgical recommendations, as there is only so much information to be gained from the photos and description provided.

Dr. Donald Groves, our expert facial plastic surgeon, has extensive training and experience with complex rhinoplasty surgeries, so I’d recommend for you to come see him (or another plastic surgeon who is extremely comfortable with rhinoplasties) for a formal consultation to thoroughly discuss your surgical goals, undergo a formal examination, evaluate all your options (surgical and nonsurgical), and decide on the best procedure(s) and type of anesthesia for your specific case. I hope this helps!

Based on your photos, you appear to have relatively thin nasal skin with an indent along your left nasal sidewall, a bulbous tip, an acute nose lip angle, and a sizable dorsal hump. Adding filler to your nose would only lead to a larger nasal appearance. Depending on your condition, rhinoplasty surgery may be considered for achieving a smaller, narrower, straighter, more feminine, and less distracting nasal appearance. Thank you so much for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Josep
