In early 2019 I had a closed rhinoplasty to remove a dorsal hump. The hump was small enough that no osteotomies were performed. Now I fear I have an open roof and a slight pollybeak. I don't want my tip overly lifted (which is a fear I have with revision). Could I fix the bridge and pollybeak with filler or do I need a revision? Note: I've had a ton of steroid shots and even a 5-fu shot in my nose and the pollybeak has only gone down a tiny bit.

Answer: Filler versus revision Thank you for your question. It really depends on how much it bothers you. Filler is a relatively low-risk way to help make smaller changes to the nose, which in this case may be appropriate. However, the result is not permanent. If this issue is a huge bother, then surgery may be the better option. However, keep in mind that surgery is more invasive and carries higher risks. There isn't a right or wrong answer, it just really depends on what your preferences would be. I hope this is helpful, and I wish you all the best.

Answer: Do I need a revision rhinoplasty or could I fix my bridge with filler In our practice, we do not recommend fillers placed In the nose for a variety of reasons. If you're mild polybeak's due to thick skin, steroid shots with 5-FU will help. If you're Polly beak is due to excess cartilage, then a Revision rhinoplasty is required. Nasal bone Osteotomies are required to narrow your wide nasal bones and close the open roof. In addition a revision can accomplish reduction of the hanging columella that you currently have. Your a revision rhinoplasty can be performed with a closed technique to avoid the external scar across the hanging columella. All incisions are placed on the inside of the nose and no painful packing is required either
