Jerry,
We do use fillers for the nose on occasion, but you have to have a specific deformity for them to work. If your hump is small and you have a low point superior or inferior to the hump then you can use filler to build up the nose around the hump and camouflage the hump. If the hump is large or the areas surrounding the hump are not deficient however then this is not possible. There is not a permanent filler I would recommend for the nose. Especially if you are considering rhinoplasty. The temporary fillers last at least 12 months in the nose however, are easy to do in the right person and are relatively low cost.

Hello,
I am a 45 year old woman and I am interested in a revision rhinoplasty. How many of these surgeries have you performed and who did you study under? I have read about you and understand you received your medical degree from The University of Texas in Galveston and Fellowship in Albany. Thank you,
Paige
