I had a dorsal hump removed which was too aggressive for my liking. I’ve read articles about “reverse nose jobs” where people use hyaluronic acid to add humps back to their noses, but I’ve never really seen any before/afters. My question is, is this possible, to what degree (mm wise), and what would the augmented portion feel like? Would it be stiff like bone/cartilage or soft?
Answer: What can be done with injection Rhinoplasty Thank you for your questions-- I have never actually had anyone ask me this before. I commonly will use filler to correct an over resected dorsum, if the patient would like to avoid a revision rhinoplasty (which usually requires grafting material such as rib). It is unlikely that filler will re-create a dorsal hump, but it could help build the bridge back up so it is less "scooped". As you have already had surgery, I would advise you to seek a provider that is very knowledgable about nasal anatomy, to help you create the aesthetic you desire in the safest manner possible.

Answer: I don't believe the fillers can be used to create a dorsal hump. If a bridge has been over resected leading to a curved appearance, injectable fillers may be considered for achieving a straight nasal profile appearance. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Injectible fillers to build a nasal bridge Yes, I frequently inject fillers to post-rhinoplasty defects, such as a deficient nasal bridge. You cannot make a nasal hump with fillers, but you can fill a nasal concavity. I generally prefer Restylane for these situations, and patient satisfaction rates are very high. The scarring from prior surgery is generally not an issue because the fillers are placed just superficial to the plane of surgery.
