I don't necessarily want to narrow or minimize it, however, my nose has a small 'dip' visible from my profile--between my nasal bone and the tip of my nose, which is slightly 'bulbous', you might say. Most of the procedures seem to be for reducing bumps and that's not what I need. Is there such a type of rhinoplasty that would maybe incorporate some type of filler (hopefully permanent) to make my 'dip' level with the rest?
Answer: Fillers for supratip dip The area you are describing on your profile is known as a "supra-tip dip" or a depression just above your nasal tip. The answer is that it can be filled with a hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm, Restylane) or with calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse). I would prefer to use Radiesse because it lasts longer (about a year) than hyaluronic acid fillers. If you are considering a Rhinoplasty in the future, be aware that Radiesse can lead to a greater degree of fibrosis (scar tissue) and make the procedure more complex.

Answer: Fillers can be great for non-surgical rhinoplasty Fillers are a great way to improve the contour of the dorsum (the bridge) in just the way you suggest. For noses, I almost always suggest starting with a temporary and easily reversible filler such as Juvederm so that the patient can try it on, so to speak. If a patient likes those results, then Artefill is a nice way to make it permanent. Silikon-1000 is not something I use (unlike Artefill, Silikon-1000 has no cosmetic approval by the FDA), but other physicians report excellent results with it, too. Because of the permanent nature of fillers like Artefill and Silikon-1000, I suggest that patients see a doctor who also performs surgical rhinoplasty, since such specialists are often more experienced in assessing nasal aesthetics and determining what can and can't be done safely with fillers. All the best, --DCP

Answer: Non-surgical rhinoplasty A dermal filler is best used to fill in deficiencies in the skin. You are correct in that they will not reduce bumps, but, properly injected, they can give the appearance that the bump has been reduced. In your case, you have a deficiency in the dorsum of your nose and are an excellent candidate for a non-surgical rhinoplasty. I would strongly suggest consulting with someone who is skilled at rhinoplasty and injectable fillers. This will give you the best opportunity to have an aesthetically pleasing nose while reducing the potential complications of fillers placed inappropriately.

Answer: A Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty with Injectable Fillers may increase the height of your bridge. If you want to increase the height of the bridge of your nose, you should consult a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon experienced in using Injectable Fillers for nasal enhancement. You seem to have a bridge that dips a bit. You could certainly have the bridge of your nose elevated, with Injectable Fillers, using topical anesthetic. There is typically no downtime, and these procedures are a fraction of the cost of Rhinoplasty Surgery. If you want permanent results, try to find a board-certified specialist experienced with Silikon-1000. Nasal enhancement with Silikon-1000 is extremely gratifying for my patients and me. I've attached a link to my Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty photos. All photos demonstrate permanent, natural results using Silikon-1000 I hope this is helpful for you.
