Deciding if you're a good candidate for non-surgical nose filler (also known as a liquid rhinoplasty) involves considering several factors related to your specific concerns and overall health. Here are some points to consider: ### 1. **Correcting the Bump** Liquid rhinoplasty can be effective for smoothing out a dorsal hump on the nose. Fillers can be used to create a more even profile, making the bump less noticeable. ### 2. **Downturned Tip** Fillers can provide some lift to a downturned nasal tip, especially when smiling. However, the extent of the lift may be limited compared to surgical options. This is something to discuss in detail with your provider to understand the realistic outcomes. ### 3. **Slight Asymmetry Due to Deviated Septum** While fillers can help camouflage slight asymmetries, they do not correct the underlying structural issues caused by a deviated septum. Fillers can provide a more symmetrical appearance, but they won't address functional issues such as breathing problems associated with a deviated septum. ### 4. **General Considerations** - **Skin Type and Thickness:** People with thicker skin may not see as dramatic results as those with thinner skin. - **Expectations:** Non-surgical nose jobs provide temporary results, typically lasting 6-18 months depending on the type of filler used. It’s important to have realistic expectations about the outcomes and understand that the procedure is not permanent. - **Health and Medical History:** Candidates should be in good overall health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and without certain medical conditions or allergies that could complicate the procedure. - **Consultation with a Specialist:** The best way to determine if you are a good candidate is to have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who specializes in facial fillers. They can assess your nose and facial structure, discuss your goals, and determine if non-surgical rhinoplasty is suitable for you. Based on your concerns about the bump, downturned tip, and slight asymmetry, a non-surgical nose job could potentially address these issues. However, it’s crucial to have a detailed consultation with a qualified professional to discuss your specific case and what outcomes can realistically be achieved. They can also advise if surgical options might be more appropriate for your needs, especially considering the deviated septum.
