Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses injectable fillers, such as Restylane or Radiesse, to add volume to very specific areas of the nose. There are several indications for this procedure, including:
- Camouflaging a minor dorsal hump
- Treating a depressed dorsum (flat nasal bridge) or saddle-nose
- Smoothing out depressions or irregularities
- Augmenting the radix (the “root” of the nose) to increase nasal length
- Adding projection to the nasal tip
- Enhancing the bony support of the nose
For the appropriate candidate, this is an excellent procedure for those not prepared to undergo surgery. It can be done quickly in the office and with minimal pain, particularly if a topical anesthetic is applied beforehand. Typically there is minimal swelling or bruising associated and patients can return immediately to work.
As an additional benefit, fillers may last longer when injected in the nose compared to other locations on the face.
