Should I Get Rhinoplasty Or Fillers For A More Defined Bridge And Tip?

July 16, 2020

Question: I feel that my nose lacks definition and refinement both through the bridge and in the tip. I would like to thin out the bridge so it looks less bulbous, and add some projection to the tip to improve my profile. When I pinch my nose, it feels fatty and soft. Can injectables help me or is an implant the best course of action? I just want a subtle change, something that looks natural.



Answer: Filler can be a quick fix to improve the bridge and nasal tip. We use blunt cannulas to inject Radiesse for a safer and longer lasting result. The result should last about one year. Augmentation rhinoplasty with rib cartilage would be the more permanent option for you. It is a bigger procedure with longer downtime, but will feel more natural with filler.
