Can you build back a dorsal hump with fillers?

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. 

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

Hello,
To improve the shape of nose filler can be used, however scar tissue can effect the filler.
If you want to have pernament result it better to have surgical operations.

Hi Kuma425,This is a great question!
In my practice we see a lot of patients looking for non-surgical rhinoplasty revision with Dermal Fillers, including rebuilding the dorsal hump.
It's important to be cautious when treating the nose after surgical rhinoplasty. During rhinoplasty surgery the blood supply to the skin may have been altered, there may be scar tissue, there may also be an implant present. Any of these occurrences can increase the risk of complications when performing both surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasty revision. 
Fortunately, I have found that with expert and strategic application, non-surgical rhinoplasty can not only be a safe alternative to a second surgery, it can also successfully improve the overall appearance of the nose. Be sure to do your homework and find an Injector with demonstrated patient results and experience with this technically challenging procedure.  
I've created a video about Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty to address some frequently asked questions about the treatment.I hope this information helps in your research!

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.

  In our practice we would not recommend building up the bridge line of the nose with fillers for a variety of reasons which include the fact that it is only temporary, is not FDA approved for that application, and can have significant complications such as skin necrosis.  To build up bridge of the nose on a permanent basis requires cartilage grafting techniques. If the bridge line of the nose is deficient in cartilage, its important to rebuild it up with additional cartilage, not soft tissue fillers.  It is important to know how much cartilage is left over on the inside of the nose for grafting purposes, since there has already been a previous rhinoplasty performed.  Revision rhinoplasty is more difficult than a primary rhinoplasty, so it is imperative to choose your surgeon wisely based on extensive experience. Digital computer imaging can be performed in the office setting to get an idea of what can and cannot be accomplished with the procedure.  For more information about revision rhinoplasty and many before and after examples, please see video below

Hello,
Yes: dermal filler to the nose is possible to improve the contour and shape; however you have to be very careful when injecting dermal filler after previous surgery. The anatomy is often different post-op and there can be scar tissue which can impact the dermal filler.
Be very cautious with any dermal filler injection and always see a well qualified and experienced doctor.
