Hi, I’m interested in getting dermal filler (“liquid rhinoplasty). I want a slimmer bridge and a sloped look from the side. A pointier tip would be nice as well. Can this be achieved through filler, or is a traditional rhinoplasty the best option? Thank you.

Answer: No, you'd need a rhinoplasty. More ... When you think about how filler works, you can figure this stuff out for yourself! So, a sloped profile: with filler, you inject something under the skin. Something gets bigger, wider, taller, because there is *more* of the nose under the skin--the original nose plus the bulk of the filler. To get a sloped profile, you must *remove* some of the bump. Adding to the bump won't do it. For the pointy tip, if you *add* bulk to the tip, it will get rounder, wider, not pointier. And I'll let you work out whether the bridge would get slimmer by adding material to it. See? Most of the time, a real rhinoplasty is the solution.
