Possible to inject Fillers to raise nasal sill to decrease nostril show? (photos)

armandog78Sep 14, 2016
Had rhinoplasty that included an alar base reduction. The wedge excisions of the alars extended into the nasal sill area which has created a notch / indentation. I think this has created the look of much larger nostrils and too much nostril show from the front. Pics attached show the increase in nostril show. Can fillers be injected to plump up the notching / indentations at the nostril sill and decrease nostril show? Can cartilage be grafted into this area for a more permanent reduction of nostril show?

Thank you for sharing your question. Asymmetries of the face and nose are a very common reason a person may consider rhinoplasty surgery. Without picture, it is very difficult to give you much guidance beyond suggesting you consult with a surgeon that can offer rhinoplasty, if indicated. If you...
