Non-surgical Rhinoplasty to level the bridge of the nose of a younger woman

Facial fillers are used in a variety of areas by the best plastic surgeons and dermatologists. These top injectors place fillers in multiple areas such as the cheeks, lips, chin, and under eyes for example. Very few cosmetic specialists, however, have expertise in filler injection for the nose.

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is a potential option to improve the appearance of the nose without surgery. For example, fillers may be injected into the bridge of the nose to help smooth depressions and irregularities. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most popular for nonsurgical rhinoplasty. This method of rhinoplasty takes a few minutes and is performed in the office via strictly local anesthesia.

This patient wanted to improve her profile without rhinoplasty surgery. After reviewing her options, she chose Restylane® injection to temporarily reduce the hump of the nose. She had just a few mL of the filler to enhance her nose. After photographs demonstrate immediate results, which settle down over several days as any swelling resolves and the filler integrates with tissue.

Hyaluronic acid fillers may last up to a year or longer in the nose. Results are immediate with these fillers. Patients typically have minimal bruising and swelling, as compared to traditional nasal surgery.
