Does the non-surgical nose job have any long-term effects? Have injectable fillers been FDA approved for use on the nose? I was wondering if the fillers could cause disease and other complications. I hate my nose but I'm scared to death of getting Rhinoplasty.
Answer: Non-Surgical Nose Job - May Not Be A Quick Fix Long-Term Filler substances -- such as Restylane, Juvaderm, Radiesse -- are FDA approved for use in the US to correct facial wrinkles and to add volume to the fave. However, they have not been given an specific indication by the FDA for a "non-surgical nose job" -- thus, they are being used in an "off-label" fashion for this purpose.The deformity of the nose will dictate how much of the injectable substance is required to achieve the desired result. While injectable fillers may be appropriate for treating localized deformities such as depressions or a low bridge, large volumes are required for an substantial change in nasal shape.Many surgeons are beginning to see patients who come to their practice for revision surgery because they are displeased with the results of injectable fillers. Most of the products that have been on the market for the last several years are temporary. However, newer, longer-lasting fillers have become available. Some of these are permanent. This poses a problem when the result does not meet the patient's expectations. The large volumes of these substances are changing the way the natural tissues appear, which can make revision surgery more difficult, and in some cases, impossible.Over time, these fillers have been noted to cause skin changes, such as redness and even skin necrosis, in some patients if they are injected too close to the surface of the skin. They may also give the nose a lumpy appearance.

Answer: Nonsurgical Rhinoplasty A nonsurgical rhinoplasty with the use of hyaluronic acid fillers is a good temporary way to see if you would like a surgical rhinoplasty in the future. Injectables have not been FDA approved as nasal fillers however they offer a safe, non permanent alternative to surgery. The key is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon that has experience and expertise in the use of fillers as well as knowledge of nasal anatomy.

Answer: Fillers in the nose for a non surgical rhinoplasty Fillers are not FDA approved for the nose although many people use them off label. In the right hands on the right patient using the right filler it is a great option for many patients. However in the wrong hands that is someone who is not skilled with fillers in the wrong patient that is someone whos nose really needs surgery and using the wrong product that is something thick or permanent you can have a disaster. You need to do your homework. I personally only use Restylane and no other product. I would avoid spas and random injectors.Good Luck

Answer: Side effects of non-surgical rhinoplasty treatments may depend on the what's injected, and the technique used by the doctor. Non-surgical nose fillers are not a substitute for rhinoplasty surgery. Rhinoplasty surgery may be necessary to achieve a smaller nasal appearance, since adding filler may only result in a larger appearance.Temporary gel fillers like HA and calcium hydroxylapetite may lead to necrosis of nasal skin, if vascular occlusion results from a treatment. In our practice we prefer using Silikon-1000 for non-surgical rhinoplasty treatments. Silikon-1000 is an off-label filler for permanent results, and has no propensity for causing vascular occlusion and dead skin.Hope this helps.Dr Joseph

Answer: Limited Usefulness, Use Caution. Non-surgical rhinoplasty refers to the use of injectable fillers to augment areas of soft tissue deficiency. This technique is used for minor deformities that require augmentation and therefore has limited usefulness.The procedure uses injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Juvederm, and Restylane to correct minor contour irregularities.It has significant limitations because it cannot reduce a large nasal structure when this is indicated.It also has to be repeated at six to nine month intervals because the filler material doesn’t last.It’s important to realize that the use of injectable fillers for this purpose is considered an “off label” use by the FDA.It’s therefore important to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon before proceeding with this type of procedure.Although the procedure appears simple and less expensive than rhinoplasty, it will need to be repeated.Over the course of time, this might become more expensive than rhinoplasty surgery.Furthermore, no long term data exist regarding the safety of fillers for this purpose.For these reasons, injectable fillers should be approached with caution when correcting nasal deformities.
