Am I suitable for nose filler for an indent on my nose? (Photos)

Question

Hello Ive had rhinoplasty 10 years ago and have a dent on my left side of nose (can see more in certain lights) but am overall happy with my size and shape. Is filler an option or will I need a revision? Thanks

Based on your photos, you appear to have thin nasal skin which tends to show irregularities clearly after previous rhinoplasty. We have had excellent success in filling in indentations, with Silikon-1000, precluding the uncertainty, risks, expense, and downtime associated with another surgical procedure. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

For a concern like a dent following previous rhinoplasty, it's really important to see a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist who specializes in facial procedures. They can properly evaluate your specific situation and anatomy.Dermal filler can sometimes be an option for minor irregularities or depressions, and when done properly, practitioners use cannulas rather than needles to ensure safer, more controlled injections with less risk of complications.However, addressing areas around the nasal tip with dermal filler, while not impossible, isn't always successful. In experienced hands, it can sometimes make subtle improvements, but it's important to understand that the results won't be the same as what you might achieve with a surgical revision. That said, surgical revision also comes with its own set of risks and considerations.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is perfect for correcting a small indentations of the nose, as you're showing here. It will give you a great idea of what a surgical solution would be should you decide to go that route.

When considering non-surgical options like dermal fillers to address a dent on the nose post-rhinoplasty, it's important to evaluate a few key factors. Fillers can be a suitable option for minor indentations and asymmetries, providing a temporary solution with minimal downtime. They can effectively smooth out small irregularities and improve the overall contour of the nose.

However, the suitability of fillers depends on the specific characteristics of the indentation, such as its size, depth, and location. Additionally, the type of filler used and the expertise of the practitioner are crucial to achieving a natural result.

If the dent is significant or if you are looking for a permanent solution, a surgical revision might be necessary. It's essential to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who specializes in facial aesthetics to assess your specific situation and discuss the best options for you. They can provide personalized recommendations based on a thorough examination and your aesthetic goals.
