Can I Use Restylane on my Nose?

Question

I know in Asia, they use restylane raise the bridge of the nose to make it more prominent. Is it possible? Also how much it will cost.

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD · Answer

There are some risks from attempting to modify the appearance of the nose using filler, which is also known as a non-surgical rhinoplasty.  The most serious side effect is necrosis, or death of the skin.
	
	Filler may do the following:

	 

	1) Mildly lift a drooping tip
	2) Augmentation of the nasal dorsum  

	Only a small amount of filler may be used and it must be injected slowly to limit the above risks.  If you decided to seek this type of treatment, I would recommend seeing a surgeon who is comfortable with these injections.

	 

	A great surgical option for augmentation of the nasal dorsum is using diced cartilage and wrapping it in deep temporalis fascia, which may be harvested from the scalp.  This can produce a natural result that is readily accepted by the body.  Thanks and I hope this helps!

Yes, it's absolutely appropriate to use Restylane or other dermal fillers to build up the bridge of your nose. However, this area is highly vascular and you need to be sure you meet with a well-trained and experienced injector to assess your need- for a safe and effective outcome.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

Nasal contouring with a filler like restylane is a safe and effective option that in some cases can avoid the need for surgery, or allow you to see what the nose would look like before having a rhinoplasty. Typically the filler (e.g. restylane or juvederm) will last about 1 year in this location. Make sure a dermatologist or plastic surgeon is injecting this important area for optimal symmetry and safety.

Fillers are a great way to explore nasal contouring with little recovery and minor expense. Make sure you seek advice from someone with a good deal of experience.

By initially using a filler (temporary results) you can see the results and decide if the look is something you like and can then proceed with permanent changes with a rhinoplasty.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

Non surgical rhinoplasty using restylane, juvederm, or radiesse is possible. While rhinoplasty is more definitive, non surgical rhinoplasty can last well over a year. Prices will vary regarding where you have the treatment and the number of syringes that you need. It starts at $600.
