Overview
Nose filler is the application of hyaluronic acid based filler to specific points of the nose in order to correct certain irregularities in nasal shape and create a more balanced nasal profile.
Also referred to as “non-surgical rhinoplasty” or “liquid rhinoplasty”, nose filler can camouflage irregularities on the nasal dorsum, refine the profile and support the nasal tip in suitable candidates.
Nose filler does not change the anatomical structure or the bone-cartilage tissue of the nose. It is therefore not an alternative to surgical rhinoplasty; it is preferred for shape and profile differences that can be corrected with filler.
How Is Nose Filler Performed?
Before the procedure, the nose is evaluated from the front and in profile, and the injection points and amount of filler are determined.
A topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the area and left for about 15–20 minutes. The hyaluronic acid filler is then injected into the planned points in controlled amounts.
The nose is an area that requires careful evaluation in terms of vascular anatomy. It is therefore important that the procedure is performed by a physician familiar with nasal anatomy and its vascular structures.
