Answer:
Hi Jennifer,
Occasionally Restylane or Juvederm canbe used to fill in slight depressions on a nose. However, the new catch phrase of “non surgical rhinoplasty” is a relatively new term coined mostly by non-surgeons or doctors trying to “make a quick buck!”
Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure. Fillers and implants do not belong in the nose usually. These can become infected and cause horrible scars that are next to impossible to erase. Small amounts of Restylane or Juvederm can be used to fill in small depressions in a nose. This is used usually after a rhinoplasty that may have left a small depressed area. Fillers can give a temporary fix, trying to buy time before doing a minor revision and placing a small cartilage graft in the area.
Larger amounts of fillers needed in the “non surgical nose jobs” are just unsafe and usually not very cosmetically acceptable upon close examination of the nose.
I hope this helped.
