Dermal Fillers Before & After Case 209

Facial fillers are not just for getting fuller cheeks or lips or for treating dark circles. Select Washington DC rhinoplasty patients can choose a nonsurgical option with these injectable fillers to improve their nose without traditional rhinoplasty surgery. Nonsurgical rhinoplasty can be performed in both primary and revision rhinoplasty cases, as appropriate. Facial fillers, such as Restylane® and Belotero®, are made of a soft hyaluronic acid gel that can be injected to create the desired nasal shape.

Similar to surgery, nonsurgical rhinoplasty is tailored to the needs of each patient. Some may choose fillers at the root of the nose to improve the profile. Other patients may choose facial fillers for the bridge of the nose to help smooth depressions and irregularities. 

This patient wanted to improve her profile without revision rhinoplasty surgery. She had primary rhinoplasty years ago in her home country and was never satisfied with the appearance. She was referred to Dr. Chaboki, a rhinoplasty expert, to review options. After reviewing her options (surgical and nonsurgical), she chose Belotero filler to improve the profile of the nose and soften the smile lines (nasolabial fold).

The patient was thrilled with her natural results and refers her friends and family to Dr. Chaboki's office. Dr. Chaboki's techniques minimizes bruising and swelling. Hyaluronic acid fillers may last up to a year or longer in the nose and several months around the mouth.
