Injectables can be used for very specific purposes in changing the shape of one's nose so if you have a divot or a low point that would look better high (and that's not too close to the skin surface) then there are some fillers that you could have injected every 4-12 months, depending on the filling agent.Best wishes,DoctorMeade
Hello, A non-surgical nose job can be done in some cases. Using safe reversible hyaluronic acid based fillers like Juvederm, doctors can contour a nose to hide asymmetries or mask bumps when they are subtle and/or if the patient cannot undergo surgery or desires not to. This procedure takes less than 10 minutes in an expert hands. Results last 1-3 years. No downtime after the procedure.All the best, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210
While a rhinoplasty gives the doctor the greatest ability to make the most changes in nose shape with permanent results, there are some changes that can be made without surgery to the nasal shape. One is using Radiesse an injectable filler that lasts about a year to re-contour the nasal bridge. By filling the bridge above a nasal hump or bump the profile can be straightened.
While there are no permanent alternatives to nose surgery (that I would recommend), there are many non-permanent approaches. Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, AND Radiesse are great alternatives. I do not recommend silicone and/or Bio Polymer. THESE CAN CAUSE PERMANENT INJURY.
Lots of surface nasal deformities can be treated these days without surgery in a matter of only five or ten minutes. These include humps, bumps and "ski slope" deformites along the bridge of the nose or at the tip of the nose, saddle deformities, in which the top of the nose is sunken, surface irregularities left by prior surgical nose jobs, and even droopy nasal tips resulting from age-related cartilage loss at the tip of the nose or a family predisposition. Although permanent fillers would seem like they should be the ideal answer, I advise against their use. Once implanted they cannot be removed. Any lumps and bumps that may occur can become permanent and difficult or impossible to treat. And lastly, as bone and cartilage are naturally lost with age, a result that looks terrific today may appear bizarre five to ten years down the road. Radiesse, on the other hand, composed of calcium hydroxylapatite, a bone-like substance, is my personal favorite for volumizing and recontouring the nose. Since there is typically little movement in nasal regions to contribute to early breakdown of the injected material, the results can be expected to last between 18 and 24 months, after which a touch-up will be needed. Most patients are highly gratified by the rapid and often dramatic results obtained in only minutes by this technique. There is little or no downtime, so most people return to work or social activities immediately, making this a true, nonsurgical lunchtime beauty fix.

Although injectables can adjust contour, a properly performed rhinoplasty is the proper way to generate and attractive nose that fits the face. The specifics can be discussed with a surgeon who does this operation often. The anticipated results can be aided by computer imaging which I use on all patients.http://www.zubowicz.com/subpag,25-atlanta-rhinoplasty.htm
If you are looking to change the appearance of your nose, I would recommend speaking with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon about what changes can be made without surgery. Typically, you can correct minimal deformities of the bridge with camoflauge by injecting a filler to make the bridge look straight, and sometimes raise the tip up a bit in the same fashion, but to reduce the nose would not be possible with injections. Your individual nose should be evaluated to determine what, if anything, can be done to change your nose without having surgery.
There are really no alternatives to a rhinoplasty for most patients seeking nasal correction. Some lay press has discussed the use of fillers to augment the nose to fill out a nose. While this can be done with temporary fillers in trained hands in select noses, the use of permanent fillers and even longer lasting fillers such as Radiesse can lead to issues such as infection, granuloma formation.
I perform my rhinoplasty surgeries under general anesthesia. I believe it's the safest option. General anesthesia means that the patient is completely asleep and not aware of any surroundings during the operation. The patient is intubated, which means that a tube is placed in one's throat which...
Answer from Dr. Sean Hill, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon at Lone Star Plastic Surgery in Frisco, TX: Great question — understanding the recovery process helps set realistic expectations and ensures a smoother experience.
It is always helpful to bring pictures as long as you do not expect to look exactly like any of them. However, it is useful to discuss your sense of what you consider aesthetic for YOUR nose. This will help you and your doctor to arrive on the same page. In addition, drawings help a lot as well...
