Question

I really hate my noses side profile and how droopy my nose looks, I'm looking for suggestions of procedures that aren't a rhinoplasty. Thanks!

Thank you for your pictures!

Going under anesthesia is very complicated. Understandably, patients are after results without having to have surgery.

We offer options for instant gratification and lasting results with dermal fillers.

A few practitioners at our clinic administer this detailed service. Results are spectacular and the complications are rare so it’s a great choice for all nose concerns.

Adding volume to the area (evening out bumps or other concerns) and balancing profile is achievable with dermal fillers. The fillers last about a year - depending on your lifestyle and metabolism. We take before and after pictures to show you immediately the transformation.

It’s a great way to see your results. Swelling can happen but will go down in about a week. Instantly seeing the alteration and excitement from our patients is worth it every time.

Best of luck!

In our experience, nonsurgical nose job treatments are not suitable for elevating a droopy nasal tip appearance. I wish I had better news. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

With nonsurgical rhinoplasty it would be possible to build up the bridge of your nose, and thereby create a more refined and narrow appearance from the frontal view. Making the radix (area of the bridge above the bump) taller, or augmenting the radix, will result in a straight profile and the illusion of hump removal. Some mild refinement of the tip may also be possible, depending on the thickness and elasticity of your tip skin. For significant tip refinement, surgical rhinoplasty would be necessary. Seeking an expert in nonsurgical rhinoplasty will give you the best result in the safest manner. #drdonyoo

​I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (like Voluma, Restylane, Juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose, but surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. Best to see an expert. - Dr. Emer​

From the photos you posted, it looks like the tip of your nose sticks out a little too far from your face. We call that over-projection. You cannot reduce a nose with non-surgical rhinoplasty. Filler above and below the hump can make your profile straighter and create more balance for your tip. Filler can also slightly push your tip higher. However, for the best result surgical rhinoplasty will yield the best looking nose.
