Would I be a good candidate for nose filler?

Question

Would I be a good candidate for a non surgical nose job? I want to corrected the bump, the down turned tip especially when I smile and if possible fix the slight asymmetry I have due to my deviated septum. Would this be achievable?

Joe Gryskiewicz, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello, from your photos you look like you'd be a great candidate for a liquid rhinoplasty(nose filler). Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is a scar-less procedure but will not fix your deviated septum itself. Dermal filler can help with the asymmetry and down turned tip. Please view my website for before and after's if you'd like.

I say this since your nasal bridge appears to project out further from your face than your nasal tip. In that regard, rhinoplasty surgery techniques may be considered for lowering the bump and for increasing the projection of your nasal tip for a more pleasing unless distracting nasal appearance. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

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.

For over two decades already, fillers have been routinely used by experienced physician injectors to straightening dorsal nasal bumps and humps and a bit more recently to elevate droopy nasal tips. At least from the photos provided, your issues are not as pronounced as many I encounter so frequently and treat in my office. So, the short answer to your question is YES, Ha fillers can address the issues you have. In experienced hands, the hump should take no more than ten minutes and the tip also maximum ten minutes and with immediate, on-the-spot results.. 
Since filler nose jobs are advanced injection techniques,, you would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. The nose is not an area to be left to novice, inexperienced injectors accustomed to treating simple smile lines with ordinary Restylane or plain Juvederm. Best of luck.
