ABSTRACT
Using soft tissue fillers to correct postrhinoplasty deformities in the nose is appealing. Fillers are minimally invasive and can potentially help patients who are concerned with the financial expense, anesthetic risk, or downtime generally associated with a surgical intervention. A variety of filler materials are currently available and have been used for facial soft tissue augmentation. Of these, hyaluronic acid (HA) derivatives, calcium hydroxylapatite gel (CaHA), and silicone have most frequently been used for treating nasal deformities. While effective, silicone is known to cause severe granulomatous reactions in some patients and should be avoided. HA and CaHA are likely safer, but still may occasionally lead to complications such as infection, thinning of the skin envelope, and necrosis. Nasal injection technique must include sub-SMAS placement to eliminate visible or palpable nodularity. Restricting the use of fillers to the nasal dorsum and sidewalls minimizes complications because more adverse events occur after injections to the nasal tip and alae. We believe that HA and CaHA are acceptable for the treatment of postrhinoplasty deformities in carefully selected patients; however, patients who are treated must be followed closely for complications. The use of any soft tissue filler in the nose should always be approached with great caution and with a thorough consideration of a patient's individual circumstances.
