Hello, I am a 28 year old African American female. I’ve been doing some research on both surgical and non-surgical rhinoplasty options. The risk of a surgical rhinoplasty is putting me off, but I’m unsure if non-surgical rhinoplasty can address my concerns. I mainly want a more defined bridge, less wide tip, and less flared nostrils. I know the non-surgical can address bridge part but what about the nostrils? Is invasive surgery my only option?

If you don't have any dermatological conditions associated with the skin of your nasal tip, adding volume to your nasal tip in the form of fillers may lead to a wider appearance. If you like, rescue question with better photographs. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Many times we will meet patients that have had a dorsal hump camouflaged with HA, and they wish to undergo rhinoplasty surgery.
