I was thinking of going for a nose filler to slim my nose. What kind of filler should I go for? (Photo)

Question

I thought of going for a non-surgical nose job, as a surgery seems rather expensive at this point.

Manish H. Shah, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi maryshelley,Thanks for your question.The gold standard for slimming the nose is a reduction rhinoplasty in which the bones of the nose are narrowed while the bridge is lowered.  If you do not want surgery, fillers are another option.I prefer HA (hyaluronic acid) filler like Restylane and Juvederm for non-surgical rhinoplasty.If you use fillers, the bridge will get taller in the process of trying to make it look narrower.  In fact, it won't be narrower at all because the nasal bones are not being moved.  It is an optical illusion but works for most patients.  It is also temporary as HA filler last 10-12 months.Another option, may be placement of a silicone dorsal nasal implant that is narrow for the same basic effect but one that is permanent.I recommend that you find a non-surgical rhinoplasty specialist in your area for a consultation.Good luck,Dr. Shah

Fillers, as part of a non surgical nose job fill depressions or smooth out areas.  Non surgical nose job cannot reduce the size of the nose or the tip.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Placement of fillers in the nose  will make the nose bigger and wider, not more slim and narrow. In addition, fillers are only temporary and are not FDA approved for that application. To narrow the nose requires a surgical rhinoplasty. The bony bridge line is narrowed with osteotomies,  and the tip is narrowed with conservative cartilage removal and suture techniques. For many examples of surgical rhinoplasty, please see the link and the video below

Peter A. Aldea, MD · Answer

No surgical nose jobs have limitations and do not have the versatility that surgery offers. They can lift the back or Dorsum of the nose and hide small humps or concavities and in so doing make the nose appear talker and narrower. They cannot refine a bulbous tip. Surgeons with computer imaging can show you what it may look like.The choice is yours. Dissolvable (Restylane or Perlane) or non dissolving ( i.e. You have to wait for it to go away if you're not happy) such as Radiesse.
