Is it possible to fix uneven pig-like nostrils with a non surgical nose job after rhinoplasty?

Question

I had done rhinoplasty in Colombia a month ago, I’m not happy with the tip of my nose, it look very very high (piggy look) and the nostrils are uneven, I don’t want to do surgery again, anyways for that I would have to wait at least a year, is there any non surgical solution to my problem?

Depending on your examination, permanent nonsurgical rhinoplastic treatments with microdroplet Silikon-1000 may be considered for improving the appearance of retracted and asymmetrical nostrils. Consider re-asking your question with photos. Thank you. Dr Joseph

Thank you for your questions. Without some photos or an evaluation, this is a very hard question to answer. The bottom line is that fillers can be used around the nasal ala to correct some asymmetry and shape the nose. However, this is a very high-risk area to inject and should only be done by the right people. In addition, non-surgical results are often minimal and temporary when compared with surgical intervention. Make sure you are seeing plastic surgeons who are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to evaluate your concerns and discuss your options.Best of luck!Dallas R.

Hi. Non surgical nosejob can potentially help with symmetry. However, your surgery was very recent. It's best to be patient and wait for the final result to settle before revision.

Stephen Prendiville, MD · Answer

Since Rhinoplasty takes at least 1 year for inflammation to settle, the best approach right now is to be patient.  Specifically avoid fillers/ injectables which will not be a long term fix and may compromise your healing.  Please see a Facial Plastic Surgeon or Plastic Surgeon experienced and competent in Rhinoplasty who makes Rhinoplasty a feature of his/her practice.  Good luck.

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose. Surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
