Is it possible to use Turkish delight? Id like my nose to curve into my eyebrows like before my primary rhinoplasty. (photo)

Question

How would this be possible? I heard the Turkish delight was moldable but I'm not sure how it would stay in place. Please see the picture to see what I mean

William Portuese, MD · Answer

The Turkish delight is used to augment a low shallow bridge on the nose. It is not used to widen the  area in the nose where it transitions  to the eyebrows. This would better be accomplished with morselized single cartilage graft placed in that area on each side.

HiFirst off I have to tell you that I have seen hundreds if not thousands of pictures over 15 years from patients and your "picture" was the best!!! Priceless!! Thank you!Now as far as your concern, if what you want is a different transition from your nose to your eyebrows and forehead you need to post actual pictures of your face for us to see if that is even possible.  Turkish delight is overkill for something like that.  I would suggest thinking about a few drops of Restylane, once or twice a year which is much more precise and low risk and will not be as bulky as a turkish delight "packet."

Stuart H. Bentkover, MD (retired) · Answer

Turkish Delight is a term used for a technique in which cartilage is minced into a fine slurry and placed in the nose to augment the profile.  I don't think it would stay well where you want it.  Also, I have to wonder why you want your nose wider there.  Generally we narrow that area.
