I had a nose job about a week ago. I know it’s still early but the tip of my nose looks especially high or upturned. Will this eventually change?

I prefer to use a hyaluronic acid filler for the marionette lines. One can also use calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) to fill in deeper marionette lines. However, I find great success and very pleasing results aesthetically with the use of hyaluronic acid fillers for the marionette lines. The hyaluronic acids include Juvederm, Restylane and Perlane. I tend to prefer Juvederm because of its smoother application.

Is it normal for the facial skin to be very dry after rhinoplasty? How soon after surgery can I resume my normal skin care routine and use things like masks and exfoliants?

The term “hook nose” may refer to a bump along the bridge of the nose, also known as a dorsal hump. The dorsal hump may be bony as well as cartilaginous in nature. I remove a dorsal hump by shaving down the bony and cartilaginous portions of the hump.

Over the past year I have had a few injections of Juvederm. The results have always been good until the last injection. I now have small lumps under the skin that are visible. What can I do about this? Will it clear up and when?
