Can dermal fillers be used to correct a narrow nose tip or should I consider a tip plasty? (photos)

Question

I got primary rhinoplasty and I love how it looks but in certain types of lights my tip nose looks very narrow. I had very bulbous nose before but now I think it looks fake. Do fillers may help with the pinched tip nose? I read it's called shrink wrap and the cartilage shows when the skin is thin. I don't know if I need tip plasty or fillers or if this is normal.

We have had great success utilizing microdroplet Silikon-1000 for improving upon the appearance of a shrink wrap nasal tip. This condition is seen in patients with firm nasal tip cartilage and thin nasal skin, typically over a long period of time. In our experience, a permanent non-surgical approach is favorable to Revision rhinoplasty surgery which may lead to the same outcome in time. Microdroplet Silikon-1000 is never associated with necrosis, blindness, embolism, biofilm, or stroke. There is more than 50 years of safety precision and permanence with this technique. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
