Can stitches or fillers in my nostril help my nose look symmetrical from the front? I had rhinoplasty done about 6 months ago

Dear Kenna2,A little filler in the nostril that is more raised can help bring it down, but this is temporaryFor something more permanent, you can put a rim graft to bring the nostril downThis could be done as a minor procedure, possibly under local and it would be permanentThere are no stitches that can achieve this, unfortunatelyBest,Dr. Nima

If you have a symmetries of your nostril margins and nasal tip appearance on front view, depending on your examination, microdroplets Silikon 1000 injections may be helpful for improving upon symmetry and achieving a less operated nasal appearance. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph PS. Please consider re-asking your question with photographs

Keep in mind, it can take up to a year for final results after rhinoplasty. 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

A small amount of filler on the raised alar rim can help correct the slight notch and make the nostrils more symmetric.  

Hello and thank you for your question and photosSlight nostril asymmetry is very common in patients following rhinoplasty.  It is also a very difficult issue to correct, as perfect symmetry is often impossible to achieve.  At times, the asymmetry can even be due to normal facial anatomy.  It is important, however, to allow your nose adequate healing time from your previous rhinoplasty before pursuing further interventions (surgical or non-surgical).  For a full assessment, an in person evaluation by a facial plastic surgeon would be appropriate to completely evaluate the nostril asymmetry.  Pre-operative photos would also be helpful in your evaluation.I hope this advice helps you and I wish you the best of luck.
