Is collagenase effective in slimming down the nose through some micro injections?

Question

Will there be harmful effects on the nose in the long run?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Some people have very thick and oily nasal skin, and isotretinoin may be helpful for achieving a narrow nasal appearance by decreasing the oil glands in the nose, specifically the nasal tip. Collagenase injections would be completely experimental and therefore should be avoided.

Jonathan Berman, MD · Answer

You should always consult a board certified plastic surgeon before opting for collagenous injections. At my practice, we offer injectable fillers for a nonsurgical alternative to the rhinoplasty. The nonsurgical rhinoplasty can enhance your nose by smoothing a hump in the bridge or adding more projection to the tip of the nose. For a slimmer nose, you might consider a surgical rhinoplasty with an experienced plastic surgeon.
