Nose Filler

In order to reduce the risk of complications in nose filler, it is recommended to apply with dissolvable fillings. Nose filler is made with fillings containing cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Restylane and Stylage brands are the fillers I prefer most for my nose fillers. We do not prefer fillings with high water retention in the nose. I do not prefer the Vycross series on the nose because of the higher possibility of edema.

In patients with low nose tip, nose filler is usually a very suitable option if they do not have a very large and arched nose. Supporting the area between the two nostrils, which we call columella, and in accordance with the nose type, makes the tip of the nose look more elevated and the nose more proportionate. When the patient is viewed from the profile, the tip of the nose drops in many patients with a smile. The reason for this is the muscle called depressor septi nasi located at the tip of the nose. This muscle fuses with the orbicularis oris muscle that surrounds the mouth. For this reason, if there is not enough support in the nose during movements with the mouth, the tip of the nose falls. In addition to the support to be made to the columella to prevent the tip of the nose from falling, the activity of the muscle decreases with the application of botulinum toxin to this area and the development of drooping of the nose tip with mimics is prevented.

Although there is no age limit for nose filler, I recommend waiting for the age of 18 to complete the body development.

In an arched nose, if the nasal hump is not so prominent that it can be camouflaged with filling, filler can be applied. It would be more appropriate for patients with a very prominent hump to have surgery.

Surgery is a procedure that many patients are afraid of. A successful nose surgery allows the patient to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance permanently. Patients who are satisfied with the post-procedure result by making a 'test drive' with nose filler may also prefer filling application to make it permanent.

It is the name given to the lines on both sides of the nose when we wrinkle our faces. Bunny lines are formed due to the activity of the muscles on both sides of the nose. Applying botulinum toxin to control muscle activity provides more effective results than filling.

The effectiveness of nose filler varies from person to person. On average, the effectiveness of fillings begins to decrease in 6 months. While fillings dissolve faster in areas that are mobile (such as lips, nasolabial), they are effective longer in areas with relatively little movement (such as nose, temple). I can say that the effectiveness I have seen in my patients in the nose area is 1 year on average. In fact, I can say that it almost does not completely return to its former state, some of it remains over the years.

I have been applying nose fillers for about 10 years. I can say that the nose filler is the area that requires the most experience among fillings. The nose region is located in an area where more than one main artery of the face anastomose by merging with each other. The most feared complication in nose filler is the occlusion of one of these vessels, causing oxygenation of the tissue we call necrosis and malnutrition. Good anatomy knowledge, slow injection, aspiration, correct product selection and experience are very important in order not to cause necrosis or any complications.

Another point to be considered in nose filler is that high volume filling is not applied. The nose is a congested area in terms of structure. Unnecessary extra injections, especially at the tip of the nose, may cause external pressure on the nasal vessels and a red appearance resulting in the formation of new vessels, which we call 'neovascularization'. In patients with a very prominent hump on the nose, applying excessive volume to correct it may cause the nose to enlarge.

You can safely have nose filler done in experienced hands, in a short time, without surgery, for suitable people.
