I had rhinoplasty in February of 2014. I was doing it for cosmetic reasons but then was told I actually had a deviated septum as well. Looking at the before and after photos- it seems like my nose wasn't symmetrical before but the surgery seems to have made that stand out more. Is there anything I can do? Would fillers help?
Answer: Fillers may provide a "band aid", but, long term, surgical option is best Different fillers are an option to fill in the concave area on the left side of your nose. While this will largely correct the asymmetry of the nose side-wall, it will need to be repeated on a regular basis. Since you are young, this may represent a lifetime of cosmetic "upkeep and maintenance" that is expensive, time consuming, and somewhat painful. Fillers might be a stop-gap" band aid, but, for the long term, you should consider revision septoplasty and rhinoplasty.

Answer: ASYMMETRY ON THE NOSE Your nose has some asymmetries and a hyaluronic acid based filler can help with the dent on the collapsed left side of the nose, but in the tip of the nose you also have an alar retraction, that the filler will not correct and it not advisable to use a filler there. It will be better to get a secondary rhinoplasty to correct that problem.

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty Options You do have a small indent on the left side of the nose. This is not as prominent unless the nose is isolated in the photos. That, however, can be easily corrected with a filler in the nose. The only concern is that it is a temporary correction. Formal revision surgery is a permanent correction, but a big hurdle to overcome.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty: addressing a dent in the nose. Revision rhinoplasty is a surgery to improve the shape of the nose for breathing or appearance after a previous nose shaping surgery.In the photos provided, the nasal bone and cartilage are depressed on the left side. The nasal bone needs to be moved and then supported with a spreader graft. Using filler as a touch-up after rhinoplasty is getting increasingly popular, even advertised as a "quick-fix." Although it can potentially help in the right situations, fillers in the nose have higher risks than filler in the rest of the face. It is a temporary measure that needs to be reinjected every 1-2 years. Most importantly, it does not replace good rhinoplasty technique. I recommend a consultation with your original surgeon and a revision rhinoplasty surgeon to discuss appropriate options for a safe and happy result. Safety comes first.
