Q: My nose is crooked. I don’t have any breathing problems therefore I’d rather avoid surgery since it’s purely cosmetic. Could dermal fillers improve the appearance and make my nose look more symmetric and straight? I realize it this would make my nose look wider which I’m ok with….I’d rather have a wide nose than a crooked nose, as this is easy to contour with makeup. Also, how safe is it to inject HA dermal fillers into the nose? My main concern is tissue death, blindness, and stroke. Thanks!
A: In some instances, nonsurgical rhinoplasty can improve the appearance and symmetry of the nose. If deviation is the source of asymmetry, nonsurgical rhinoplasty will not be able to create significantly greater symmetry and the best option to achieve symmetry will be surgical rhinoplasty.
