Nonsurgical rhinoplasty using dermal fillers

Abstract

With the advent of newer injectables with less immunogenicity and greater longevity, nonsurgical rhinoplasty has become a viable alternative to surgery. An understanding of the surgical anatomy of the nose, particularly in a postrhinoplasty patient, affords the physician injector the opportunity to better plan the injectable treatment. This article outlines the evolution of nonsurgical rhinoplasty and identifies properties to consider when selecting which dermal filler to use. It includes a description of the types of nasal deformities that can be treated with injectables, as well as the role of nonsurgical rhinoplasty in a comprehensive regimen for correction of nasal deformities.
