I am a 26 year old woman and in the past few years I have been hearing about using injectables as an alternative to rhinoplasty. My complaints with my nose are that the bridge is wide and undefined from the front view and from a profile view its short/upturned and a lot of my nostrils show - its the pig snout look. I was curious if injectables would be an option to help either/both of these problems and if so I would love some general information on that process. Thanks!
Answer: Non surgical rhinoplasty (nose job) for upturned nose Thank you for sharing your question and your photographs. In short (no pun intended), injectable fillers are not a very effective treatment for a short, upturned nose. Lengthening the nose and diminishing rotation is not a simple task. It requires a surgical operation using sturdy cartilage grafts to elongate the septum (caudal extension graft), as well as additional grafts to force the tip downward (extended spreader grafts) and grafts to support the nostril rims (rim grafts). While you might be able to create the illusion of a slight longer nose by injecting a modest amount of filler into the infratip lobule, you would be better served by considering surgery. I hope that helps. My very best to you.

Answer: A permanent nonsurgical nose job may be considered for nostril lowering. That said, I do not think that we could achieve significant nasal tip derotation without rhinoplasty surgery and a septal extension graft. Certainly consult with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists since this would be a tricky non-surgical procedure, and the feasibility of such would require an examination. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Answer: Filler for Undefined Nose Bridge Hi and thank you for your question! While an in-person consultation is required to be able to tell for sure, you seem to be a candidate for filler injection to create a more defined nose bridge and it should be able to address most of your concerns. I hope it helps and good luck!

Answer: Non Surgical Nosejob Candidate-- with Fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose. Surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
