Can filler be used to correct columella/nostril shape? (photos)

Question

I had a primary septorhinoplasty 5 years ago, and have been self conscious of my nostrils and columella ever since. Can this be fixed no surgically as I would like to avoid a complex revision if possible. Thanks

Hello, and thank you for your question. While a face-to-face evaluation is necessary to assess your nose and determine your eligibility for a non-surgical rhinoplasty, dermal fillers are typically used to fix nasal asymmetry issues. Fillers may also be a good solution to correct a previous rhinoplasty that did not give you the results you wanted. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a reputable board-certified facial plastic surgeon, particularly one with a strong rhinoplasty portfolio. Such experts will have the optimal skills, as well as artistry and knowledge of facial aesthetics, harmony, and proportion, to help you achieve the most natural-looking results. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your nose, discuss your concerns and goals, recommend the best course of action, and ensure the best possible results.

Permanent non-surgical nose job treatments may be considered for correcting nasal base asymmetries. The base photo of your nose, however, is the least important view, and correcting asymmetries here may affect other views as well. Consider re-asking your question with front, oblique and profile photos. Thank you. Dr Joseph
