Can Filler Fine-Tune a Nose After Rhinoplasty?

Yes. Dr. Naderi says that even after a very nice rhinoplasty, healing can leave small areas that a few drops of filler can make smoother and more symmetric. Here he softens an exaggerated supratip break with less than 0.1 cc of Restylane.

Key Points from Dr. Naderi

  1. Healing after rhinoplasty can leave small irregularities, even when the result is very nice.
  2. A few drops of filler can make the nose smoother, more contoured and more symmetric.
  3. In this patient the skin shrink-wrapped as it healed, leaving an exaggerated supratip break that he softened.
  4. It took less than 0.1 cc and can be done during a visit for other fillers.

So we're doing a secondary procedure. We just did a little lip injection, and I'm doing a quick little touch-up. I've opened a syringe of Restylane. I've used most of it for the lips, but I have a little bit left. She's had a rhinoplasty. It's really nice. She's very happy. But sometimes, as things heal, there may be little areas where you can touch up to make it even better, make it more perfect. This is the beauty of non-surgical. Even after a very nice result from a rhinoplasty, as things heal, you don't know how things will end up, and to make it more symmetric, a little bit more smooth and contoured, you can use a little bit of filler. If you're doing fillers to the smile lines, if you're doing fillers to the cheeks, if you're doing fillers to the lips once a year, twice a year, you can stop by and do a couple of little drops. It's a very, very nice option. So that's what we're going to do right now.

I'm going to soften the supratip break here a little bit. And now we have a really nice little supratip break, but it's a little softer than it was before. We're almost done. This was just a few little drops right here to the supratip, and it creates a nicer contour. As she healed, she shrink-wrapped a little bit there. There was a little bit of an exaggerated supratip break, but now it's very nice and feminine and soft, with a nice contour. That's it. It took less than 0.1 cc, and you can do it while you're doing other things on the face, to maintain beauty. It works very nicely.
