Can a non-surgical nose job be used to fill the collapse on the right side? Make the nose look more symmetrical? (Photo)

We can see that you have a concavity along the left side wall of your nose. Feeling this may be considered for achieving a straighter nasal appearance. In our practice we prefer to use microdroplet Silikon 1000 which is permanent, and not associated with necrosis blindness stroke embolism or biofilm. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (like Voluma, Restylane, Juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose, but surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. Best to see an expert. - Dr. Emer

Hello and thank you for your question.  It appears that your nose is deviated with some asymmetry.  You may benefit from filler injection, but this is only temporary and will require continuous re-treatment.  Also, with each injection, there is a risk of arterial occlusion, ischemia, and other complications, more so than normally, because your nasal anatomy, and thus the vasculature, is likely distorted.   If you want a permanent fix, I would suggest finding the right aesthetic plastic surgeon to evaluate you for a rhinoplasty.  In your rhinoplasty consultation, be sure your surgeon addresses all your aesthetic goals and concerns specifically, and discusses the surgery details including the position and size of the incisions used (with actual photographs and not just digital animations), the risks and benefits of the procedure, recovery time, and post-operative course.  Also, be sure to see plenty of before-and-after pictures in men who have a similar nose appearance to yours, and preferably at different time frames (3 weeks out, 3 months out, etc) to more accurately predict your own surgical outcome.

After seeking out a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery, I think the most important component of the consultation is to establish a good connection with your plastic surgeon.  It’s the connection that allows you to clearly define your desired nose outcome goals, the first step of this whole process. If you don’t feel you have a good connection with your plastic surgeon after your consultation, he/she may not be the best surgeon for you.
