Can a nonsurgical nose job make this nose look better? (Photo)

HA fillers can be placed in the nose to camouflage a dorsal hump, improve tip symmetry, and increase tip projection slightly. It may be a good indication in your case.

It is a little difficult to say from your one photo, but filler can be used to make some improvements. It can be used to make the nose look straighter from the side if there's a bump. Filler can make the nose look straighter if there are crooked areas, and it can make the tip appear to be a little more defined. Obviously, surgery would do a lot more, but many people do see a nice improvement with filler.

Hello and thank you for your question! Unfortunately even though non-surgical nosejobs are popular, they are ALMOST ALWAYS done on patients who are poor candidates for it, and who would have much better results with a proper surgical rhinoplasty. For your nose, with the significant deviation on frontal view and poor tip definition, you would actually be a perfect candidate for surgery. Filler would only make your nose appear larger and would not result in a straighter nose or make it appear balanced with the rest of your face.

Many surgeons overlook key techniques that can otherwise soften the appearance of underlying structures, significantly improving tip symmetry and refinement, and resulting in beautiful and natural appearing results. These specialized maneuvers require a high level of expertise and experience, which most surgeons simply do not have. Given your history, an open septorhinoplasty would be the best approach to precisely reshape your nasal tip, refine the bridge, straighten your nose, and restore overall balance.

In addition to reshaping your nose aesthetically, your septal cartilage (or an alternative graft material) would be used to create structural grafts, reinforcing key areas like the columella (the strip of tissue between your nostrils). This is crucial to maintaining long-term symmetry and preventing future distortions.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most technically demanding procedures in all of plastic surgery—millimeters make all the difference. If a surgeon is only performing one or two rhinoplasties per month, they simply do not have the level of experience necessary to achieve the best possible result. Your nose defines your entire face—this is NOT a surgery to leave in the hands of just anyone.

I have had extensive training in complex rhinoplasty, working under one of the highest-volume rhinoplasty surgeons in the world (who performs 1,000+ nose surgeries per year). If you’re serious about getting the best possible result, I’d be happy to see you for a consultation (Virtual or In-Person) where we can discuss your goals, perform a detailed examination, and create a customized plan for your ideal nose.

I look forward to helping you achieve the refined, balanced nose you deserve!

Based on your photo, you appear to have an indentation along your right nasal sidewall that is causing a reverse c-shaped appearance. It is conceivable that adding volume to your right side will may result in a straighter nasal appearance though an examination would be necessary to determine this with certainty. In that regard, if you are looking to achieve a straighter nasal appearance, you may consider Consulting with a reputable facial plastic surgeon familiar with the use of nasal fillers in the nose. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hi there! A nonsurgical (filler) rhinoplasty can make improvements. It works well at the radix, bridge, and aspects of the tip. It's not the same as surgery as you know. The price of filler can be expensive in order to obtain the result which is not permanent. Many fillers in the nose last 8-10 months on average. There's maintenance needed to keep-up the appearance. Hope this helps!
