My nose is slightly assymetrical, and I don't think it's anywhere near bad enough for surgery. However, I would love to find a way to correct it
Answer: Asymmetric nose You can try fillers, but they can become expensive over time. I don't think it's worth it in your case.

Answer: Nonsurgical correction of nasal asymmetry It is possible to correct certain nasal asymmetries without surgery. Areas in the nose that can be significantly improved include the dorsum (bridge), tip and sidewalls. Nonsurgical correction involves using soft tissue fillers to add volume in deficient areas to improve the overall appearance. Hyaluronic acid based fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane are preferable in the nose. Although they are considered temporary, results last about 2 years after injection. Particulate based fillers such as Radiesse and permanent fillers such as Artecol should be avoided. You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon that has significant experience with injecting soft tissue fillers for correction of nasal deformities.

Answer: Is there any non surgical way to correct my slightly asymmetrical nose? Possibly. I would have to know what aspect of the nose you would like corrected. Frequently, fillers are a poor substitute for most issues.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Non-surgical Rhinoplasty is an Option at Times We do use a number of products for the nose that can be injected to build up the nose. In particular, the tip can be defined and the top (dorsum) of the nose can be built up if needed. In general, hyaluronic products or collagen containing products are usually the safest bets in these cases. These are off-label applications but can be used with quite a bit of success.Alternatively, a patient's fat, fascia (muscle layering), and other tissues can also be transplanted at times. Many patients prefer a more permanent solution to the problem, which may be done with internal incisions only allowing a very concealed procedure.Thanks for your great question.Dr. Hobgood, MD
