Dear Hans: I understand your comment, and that approach is the same used with the fillers in the “non-surgical nose job.” However, there are no reliable permanent fillers. Also, many people want an actual reduction in the size of their nose along with sculpting of the tip cartilages. Therefore there are no alternatives to the current surgical techniques.
I hope this answers your questions.

Hello Dr, don’t you guys think there could be some other alternative to operating and cutting out cartilage and bone from the nose like inserting some sort of Hard stable fillers under-in-withing the tip bridge of the nose in order to hold up the nose in a pointed shape that would permanently hold the nose in that shape, if you don’t understand please write me at “tiga_scott@yahoo.com” so i can explain more to you it might make some sense

Dear Madison: Rubbing your nose will not do anything to change the shape of your nose. The non-surgical technique of injections with fillers will not make your nose smaller, but it does make the hump look less obvious. This can create an illusion of a smaller nose because the hump does not protrude as much.
I hope this info helps you. Dr. Genter

Dr. Genter,
Lately I have been feeling really discouraged by my nose, it has a fairly large bump on it for the size of my face. I have tried so many things to decrease the size of it such as the nose huggie (a clip that attaches on to your nose to decrease the bump.) I was just wondering if that would help or just by applying pressure to my nose by rubbing it would help? I dont want plastic suregery, and im not sure how this non surgical nose job would work for me, because it might just make my nose look bigger? Any other suggestions?? Thank you!

Hey, I really enjoy your blog. I have a blog too in a totally unrelated field (Online Stock Trading) but I like to check in here on a regular basis, just to see what's going on and it's always interesting to say the least. It's always entertaining what people have to say.

Just wanted to drop you a line to say, I enjoy reading your site. I thought about starting a blog myself but don’t have the time.
Oh well maybe one day….

I'm sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head here and check out the new post. Along with seeing the new posts, I'm also always checking out the blog roll rss feed and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past ...but all in all excellent site. Keep it up!

Dear Pam: It is possible that some of the Radiesse migrated upward due to massage or action of the muscles at the root of the nose. As long as it looks okay, this should not be a problem. Also, these injections are placed very deep, so skin necrosis is very unlikely.
I hope this addresses your concerns. Dr. Genter

Dear Jane: Any filler can raise the nasal bridge a little. If your nose is really flat, a filler may not be enough, however and surgery might be necessary to create the result you are looking for. Sometimes I use your own tissues to build up the bridge, and sometimes I can use a nasal implant. These decisions can only be made at a consultation. Also, since you are 18, you can sign your own consent. It is best, however when you keep your parents involved.
Thanks for your question. Dr. Genter

I have had 2 successful radiesse fillers (0.1 each time) to the bridge of my nose, done 6 months apart. A minor issue I had was some puffiness between my eyebrows, closer to the right side. This happened both times. This is odd being that the radiesse was injected in the bridge, which is a few mm’s lower. why would this happen? another question- with the filler, is there any risk of necrosis between the eyebrows? thanks.
