Non Surgical Nose Job for a "Hook Nose"

Fillers can certainly refine your lateral profile and help even out your bridge and nasal hump. Non surgical nose jobs are an excellent way to improve facial contours. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian 

A non-surgical nose job can be used to correct bumps on the bridge of the nose, surface irregularities along the top of the nose, and down-turned noses. The degree of improvement in each of these instances is related to severity of the underlying structural problem. Some defects may be so severe that aggressive, invasive surgery is the only answer, particularly when dealing with a prominently hooked nose.

That having been said, I think that in many cases, it is reasonable to expect that nonsurgical approaches may provide at least some degree of improvement. Often, for  best effect, the combined use of Botox or Dysport and a volumizing agent are required.

In general, my nonsurgical approach to a really pronounced hooked nose would be as follows. I would first address the bridge area to visually straighten it as much as possible with a volumizing agent, such as Radiesse. I would next inject a small amount of the volumizer at the base of the nose to "lift" it. In addition, Botox  or Dysport would also be instilled in the same area to weaken the downward pull of the muscles in the region, which would then allow the upward pulling muscles to draw the nose up a bit.  And finally, I would inject small amounts of volumizer in the area of above the nostrils, in an attempt to shape a straighter tip.   The entire procedure would take about fifteen minutes, and the results would be immediate, except for the Botox effect, which typically takes a week to obtain full effect.
