An injectable substance like Juvederm can certainly be used to enhance the bridge after rhinoplasty and are commonly used. Be sure to go someone that is experienced in using fillers in this location.

If you have an indentation or low area on the bridge of your nose after rhinoplasty surgery, injectable fillers may be considered depending on your examination. We prefer using Silikon-1000, an off label filler for permanent results. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph

Yes, fillers can be used to enhance the appearance of the nose. The effects are temporary. But since you only had your rhinoplasty 3 months ago, I would advise you to wait until at least 6 months for the swelling to subside from your original surgery before contemplating any further procedures. Kindly,Kouros Azar

Fillers are ok as a temporary fix. If your dorsum isn't significantly swollen it is probably ok to add filler. Best to check with your doctor.

Jeffrey Watson, MD · Answer

You can do that, yes, but I would not recommend it. Your nose is still taking shape and the height of the bridge is always evaluated with respect to the tip. With your tip still swollen there is a risk of over-filling the bridge. I would recommend you wait until a year before considering altering the nose further in any way. Hope that helps!

Dermal fillers provide an acceptable method for temporary and subtle nasal correction. But words of caution- 1) use a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler and 2) wait about 6 months after your rhinoplasty before getting the injections. I would not use a permanent filler - permanent fillers often lead to permanent problems. -Randolph Capone, MD, FACS
