Until i can have have a revision surgery, can temporary fillers be safely used to soften a slightly pinched/over narrowed tip? I want to eventually add a little fullness to my tip (and lower lateral cartilage area) since my primary resected it too much, but really would like to avoid surgery for a few years if it can be made to look good in the meantime.

Answer: Temporary Fillers Can Be Used to Soften the Nose After Rhinoplasty
Hi Ella,
Injectable fillers may be used to soften the nose after a rhinoplasty. In the tip of the nose it is paramount to inject minimal amounts and to make sure that filler is not injected into blood vessels. By limiting the amount of filler injected and by using small blunt tipped canullas to inject, the procedure can be done safely, but I would recommend that this be done only by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to avoid devastating complications. Good luck and be well.

Answer: Non Surgical Rhinoplasty
Fillers are used to temporarily enhance the contour of the nose. The nasal skin, and scar from previous surgery, can mute the definition a filler can provide elsewhere on the face. More common areas for enhancement include the upper dorsum, the nasal tip and along the upper edge of the ala when the ridge is too deep. Fillers can help your contour now, and give the nose adequate time to heal before any further intervention is planned. The information above i generally true; however, a complete history and physical examination would be needed before knowing if the procedure is appropriate for your nose. This is also an area the requires experience to get the best results and avoid complications.
