Is Tape Cast Necessary After Juvederm Injected into the Nose?

No, you do not need tape on your nose after injections for your nose.  Juvederm and Radiesse injections are great for shaping the nose and camouflaging minor imperfections.

 

Good Luck.

I would pay close attention to what your surgeon is saying. everyone does things slightly differently and that has to do with the surgeon's level of comfort and the way they do certain procedures. if you have any concerns or reservations about his technique youre entitled to another opinion or even better to discuss with your doctor in person

I have used both Radiesse and hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvéderm, Restylane) to correct nasal deformities and improve shape. If the goal is to augment the dorsum of the nose, then Radiesse, placed deep over the bone or cartilage works best; and a splint is not necessary. If the deformity involves the nasal tip, hyaluronic acid fillers can be carefully used to provide nice correction; and a splint is not necessary. In either case, the patients are asked not to massage or manipulate the treated area for several days after treatment.

Your doctor believes that Juvéderm maintains some degree of moldability after it is injected for dorsal augmentation of the nose. Whether that is true is open for debate, but when hyaluronic acid fillers are placed in loose areolar tissue planes they probably remain more moldable than when placed in other tissues (i.e. skin/dermis). That moldability is in large part due to the fact that the product is a gel, and remains as such after injection. Radiesse has a different composition and properties and does not maintain the same (longer term) moldable characteristics after injection. For that reason Radiesse can be used for dorsal augmentation without a splint.
