Can Fillers Be Used to Straighten the Dip in Nose Profile?

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.

In the hands of advanced physician injectors, fillers such as hyaluronic acid (e.g. Restylane, Juvederm) or Radiesse would be a fantastic options to address nose enhancement or contour deformity.

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.

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.

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 hope this is helpful for you.

Deciding whether you are or are not a candidate for a
non-surgical nose job really depends on your goals. The best candidates for a
non-surgical nose job are typically the following types of patients: 1) Those
who want the bridge of their nose raised or who want a hump hidden to achieve a
more feminine profile 2) Patients with a nose that deviates to one side or the
other. Filler can help make it look more straight 3) Patients with features in
the tip that appear too harsh or pointy and need softening. Fillers can help
create a much smoother and balanced appearance. What non-surgical nose jobs
can't do are help patients narrow their nose, make it project (stick out) less,
or help with breathing. For these issues a surgical rhinoplasty is required.
It is very
important to know that a non-surgical rhinoplasty is a VERY advanced and
technically challenging procedure to do safely. Too much filler in any given
area can cause issues with blood supply to the skin on the nose so it is
essential that you have a physician who is comfortable in rhinoplasty perform
the procedure. There must be an utmost respect for the anatomy and blood supply
of the nose. In experienced hands it can be done safely and beautifully with
results that enhance the appearance of the nose and really help patients feel
more confident.
Depending on the
filler used, the results typically last between 1 and 2 years. The procedure is
performed after topical numbing creme is applied and should be performed in a
meticulous fashion. This means that the procedure typically takes about 45
minutes.
I hope that helps!

You absolutely look like the perfect candidate for a non-surgical nose job. I have seen hundreds of patients with your exact same nasal shape who simply want a little "dip" filled in before the tip. This area is easy and quick to fill, and results in a very high degree of patient satisfaction. With a little Radiesse (a filler that hardens similar to bone), you could have a perfectly straight nose in just a few minutes. Best of luck! Let me know if you have any further questions.

This slight dip is perfect for filler, especially ones that are safe and reversible like Restylane and Juvederm. The results usually last about one year, but often longer. Radiesse is another alternative to consider, but is is not reversible. Please see a very experienced physician for this since an injection in the wrong place can damage your nose. I think filler results here are more predictable than surgery although surgical results are permanent.

Fillers can be used in some circumstances to augment certain parts of the nose. A supra-tip depression, similar to yours, would be something that can be improved with fillers alone. It appears that the rest of your nose has a good shape...so a filler may be a good choice.

Hi,
Safe, Hyaluronic Acid fillers like Restylane can be used in cases like yours as long as you stay away from permanent fillers which can come with permanent problems!
