Nose Filler

Nose Filler: The nose, which is at the center of facial aesthetics, is the most important anatomical structure that determines the balance of facial features. Structural characteristics such as nasal deviation, a humped structure, depression, or drooping of the nasal tip can directly affect a person’s facial profile and may also cause aesthetic concerns. However, solving these problems does not always require surgical intervention. Today, thanks to modern medical aesthetic applications, it is possible to shape the nose without going under the knife. One of the prominent methods at this point is nose filler application.

ENT Specialist Prof. Dr. Ozan Seymen, who serves in his own clinic in Istanbul, provides a softer, more balanced, and natural nose profile as an alternative to surgery in nose filler applications by considering the general proportions of the face.

What is Nose Filler?

Nose filler is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure applied to correct deformities in the nose without surgery. Hyaluronic acid-containing fillers are generally preferred in this method. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body and has the property of adding volume to the skin, retaining moisture, and shaping.

With nose filler, the hump appearance can be reduced, the nasal bridge can be straightened, the nasal tip can be lifted, or the proportion in the facial profile can be improved by filling the nasal root. The procedure stands out with advantages such as quick application, not involving surgical risk, and providing immediate results.

Who is Nose Filler Suitable For?

Nose filler is generally suitable for individuals with the following aesthetic needs:

• Individuals who have a hump appearance on their nose but do not want surgery
• Those who complain of nasal bridge depression
• People with a drooping nasal tip or appearing to have a weak facial profile
• Patients who have had nose surgery but need small corrections
• Those who want to see a temporary shape for “simulation” purposes before surgery
• Individuals with asymmetrical nasal lines

Prof. Dr. Ozan Seymen plans nose filler application personally by carefully analyzing facial proportions and nasal structure in each patient.

How is Nose Filler Applied?

Nose filler application is generally a painless procedure done with local anesthetic cream and is completed in 15 to 30 minutes. The application steps are:

Preparation: The nasal area is cleaned with antiseptic solution, and the procedure is made comfortable by applying local anesthetic cream.

Marking: Areas where filling will be done (nasal bridge, nasal tip, nasal root) are determined according to facial proportions.

Filler Injection: Filler material is carefully injected into the predetermined points with the help of a fine-tipped needle or cannula.

Shaping: After injection, the filler is gently shaped to achieve an appearance that is harmonious with the face and symmetrical.

Final Check: The patient is placed in a sitting position, the nose and facial profile are evaluated, and small corrections are made if necessary.

Prof. Dr. Ozan Seymen offers extremely safe and aesthetic results by professionally planning the filler application within the framework of facial proportions, mimicry balance, and natural appearance.

Things to Consider After Nose Filler

The recovery process after nose filler is quite short. However, the following points should be considered to maintain the permanence and aesthetic result of the application:

• Pressure should not be applied to the nose for the first 24 hours, and one should not lie face down.
• Glasses should not be worn, or glasses with minimal contact should be preferred.
• No massage should be done to the nasal area for the first 1-2 days, and hot showers and steamy environments should be avoided.
• Heavy exercises should be postponed for 1-2 days.
• Skin care products should not be applied to the treated area for the first 48 hours.
• Drinking plenty of water contributes to the filler staying in the skin longer.

Prof. Dr. Ozan Seymen optimizes the result with control sessions when necessary by planning the post-procedure follow-up process specific to his patient.

How Long Does Nose Filler Last?

Nose filler procedure is a temporary application. The permanence of the filler may vary depending on the quality of the filler material used, the patient’s metabolism, and lifestyle. Generally:

• Permanence period varies between 12 and 18 months.
• Patients receiving application for the first time may need small touches after 9-12 months.
• Longer-lasting volume effect can be observed in regular applications.

Prof. Dr. Ozan Seymen extends both the quality and duration of aesthetic results by using quality and FDA-approved filler materials.

What are the Advantages of Nose Filler?

• Does not require surgery
• Recovery time is almost non-existent
• Gives immediately visible results
• Provides a natural appearance
• Can be used for simulation purposes before surgery
• Reversible; the filler can be dissolved if desired

Nose filler is a perfect solution especially for individuals who are wary of surgery but care about nasal aesthetics.

Risks and Side Effects of Nose Filler

Nose filler is an extremely safe procedure when performed by experienced physicians. However, it requires expertise due to the complexity of the facial vascular structure. Possible risks are:

• Redness, mild edema, or bruising at the injection site
• Temporary asymmetry due to uneven distribution of the filler
• Risk of vascular occlusion, albeit rare
• Allergic reaction (very rare)

Prof. Dr. Ozan Seymen minimizes the risk of such complications with his advanced technical knowledge and experience.

Does nose filler hurt?

It is generally painless as local anesthetic cream is applied. Only a slight stinging sensation may occur.

Does nose filler eliminate the hump appearance?

Filler can greatly reduce the hump appearance by smoothing right above the hump. However, surgery may be more appropriate for very large humps.

Does nose filler make the nose smaller?

No. Nose filler adds volume. However, the nose may appear more elegant thanks to contour smoothing.

Is nose filler permanent?

No. Its effect is temporary and lasts an average of 12-18 months. It can be repeated if desired.

Does the nose drop after nose filler?

No drooping of the nose occurs when applied with the correct dose and technique. On the contrary, the nasal tip appears more lifted.

Nose filler is an effective aesthetic solution that makes it possible to shape the nose with more natural results, less risk, and in a shorter time as an alternative to surgery. This procedure, which makes a big difference in facial aesthetics, is an ideal option especially for individuals seeking a big change with small touches.
