The combination of surgical Rhinoplasty, either primary or secondary, combined with injecting Juvéderm or Restylane into the nose has gotten superior results and excellent patient satisfaction. Juvéderm and Restylane are hyaluronic acids which can last up to a year and sometimes longer when injected into various facial irregularities, defects, or deep facial lines, such as laugh lines, crease lines, or chin lines. Juvéderm and Restylane have also been known to be used to inject around the mouth area, vertical lip lines, or into the lips themselves. These Cosmetic Fillers are also highly successful when injected into a variety of nasal defects.

Juvéderm and Restylane can be used in both primary and secondary rhinoplasties to help improve the aesthetic result on cosmetic nose surgery without actually doing further invasive surgical procedures to the nose. Some irregularities throughout the nose and tip area, especially those in patients who have had several Rhinoplasty operations, can often be readily improved in an office setting without surgical intervention using approximately 1 cc of Juvéderm (or Restylane) or less with a small gauge needle with minimal patient discomfort.

The nose, nasal dorsum, or tip can be revised substantially and improved tremendously, by injecting these cosmetic fillers. A recommended combined approach for Rhinoplasty or Revision Rhinoplasty using Juvederm or Restylane are to use these fillers as an ancillary procedure during the Rhinoplasty rather than operate on a certain part of the nose, which can be difficult and not as predictable. The Cosmetic Filler is then injected into the nasal tip, the dorsum, or the sides of the nose resulting in a improved surgical result with very minimal downtime to the patient and an extremely fast recovery.

Therefore, in summary, the combination of Juvéderm or Restylane with surgical Rhinoplasty and/or Juvéderm or Restylane alone to nasal defects can significantly improve patient surgical outcome and improve patient satisfaction significantly.
