What's the longest lasting filler (or minimally invasive procedure) available to fix a nose that is slightly curved at the tip to the right and a little bit sunken in at the bridge from a previous procedure?
I was quoted for Radiesse, but am worried its gonna wear off too soon, and I don't want a constantly changing nose...thanks :)

Answer: The longest is Silicone
However you wont find many surgeons using it any more. As for the semi-permanent fillers, artisense and Radiesse, there are reported issues around inflammation which have caused conservative and conscientious surgeons to worry. However they have the attraction of lasting longer than the more 'natural' Hyaluronidase acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm. So what is the best approach? Most surgeons are comfortable starting with a temporary filler and procrastinating while we wait for an longer acting but complication free product to arrive.

Answer: Non-surgical rhinoplasty SEE VIDEO BY CLICKING "MORE": Radiesse is currently the longest lasting resorbable filler used in the nose. All fillers are used on an off label FDA indication. Permanent fillers are available. However, I would strongly encourage you to start with a temporary filler first to see if you like the results.
