I'm thinking of getting hyaluronic fillers for my nose bridge because it was (sadly...) lowered by previous rhinoplasty. Honestly I would like to use them for life, but am worried that after some years of using fillers they will create a lot of scar tissue or other unsightly volume to my nose bridge?

Answer: Non Surgical Nosejob Candidate-- with Fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) No, HA fillers should not cause scar tissue and will not cause permanent changes. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over your desired results. Facial fillers (voluma, restylane, juvederm) can be used to improve the symmetry of the nose. Surgery would be needed to improve nostrils or overall shape. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fillers to build up the nasal bridge It's quite reasonable to try a hyaluronic acid gel filler (e.g., Juvederm, Restylane, etc.) to build up an over-resected bridge. Avoiding the widening you fear can be done by placing the filler rather narrowly along the bridge. It is extremely unlikely that that would ever create unsightly volume or scarring. However, I usually suggest that if a patient likes the results from a hyaluronic filler, they may want to consider making it more permanent with a PMMA filler such as Bellafill rather than having to keep filling the area year after year.Hope this helps,--DCPPearson Facial Plastic Surgery®
