Fillers and Rhinoplasty in Sydney

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Fillers have definitely made their mark in modern facial aesthetics. But what role if any do they have in rhinoplasty?

I like to use them in 2 main ways.
1) as an alternative to surgical rhinoplasty for mild dorsal defects and tip asymmetry
2) to temporarily correct a contour issue after surgical rhinoplasty.

In the first instance sometime patients want to mask an issue of he nose such as a small depression or bump. This can be easily achieved with dermal filler and is safe, quick and the result is excellent if the right patient is chosen.

2) after rhinoplasty there may be small asymmetries or contour issues while we are waiting for all of the swelling to settle. This is a perfect situation to use temporary filler to help get through that period.
