I had a rhinoplasty ten years ago that looked great for about a year, then a depression started on the side of the nose at the nostril line. I swear it’s gotten worse in the last two years, making the nose tip looked twisted. I do not want another surgery. What about permanent filler for this area? Opinions are so mixed on fillers for the nose.

Answer: Nasal Tip Deformity Considerations It may be best to consider corrective revision surgery for your nasal deformity. In my opinion, the risks associated with fillers and potential damage to the thin skin in this area suggest that revision surgery maybe your best option. Even in the best case, it is unlikely that an injectable filler will correct this problem and you may remain unhappy. The use of a permanent filler may be the least attractive option. I understand that you do not wish to have another surgery. However, a consultation with an experienced, trusted revision rhinoplasty specialist may give you the best information on your potential risks and benefits of revision surgery. In my view, injectable fillers for you are best avoided. Best wishes.

Answer: Over-resected tip cartilage fillers can be great for small irregularities in rhinoplasty...like yours, structural defects tend to worsen over time and require supportive cartilage grafting to make any kind of meaningful improvement Regardless of what you choose to do, get good advice... remember that ‘permanent’ fillers are permanent and may set you up for difficulty if you remain unhappy Good luck..
