Thank you for providing such a comprehensive website.
I've had a HA filler injected along various sections of my bridge to improve the look of my nose after 2 previous surgical nose operations. My primary in 2005 wiped out my nose completely (V-deformity/open roof/over-rotated tip/washed out front/wide bridge/asian appearance). My secondary in 2009 rebuilt my tip and bridge with grafts.
The filler helps to improve my frontal symmetry, as my bridge graft is narrow & off-center. It also fills out an obvious dip between my bridge graft and supra-tip, plus it helps to blend the graft into my lower radix better. The HA filler makes my nose look a bit bulky, but it's still an overall improvement. It's done wonders for balancing my nose & shadowing. Just under 1ml was used (bridge only, my tip is great). My nasal skin is thicker than average. I've been told it's in good condition for someone who's had 2 surgeries.
Am I a candidate for Silicone Micro in the future? As you know, I face topping up my nose every 6 months for the rest of my life (I'm only 28 and want to start a family soon!!!!). I'm thinking that Silicone Micro will prevent "needle fatigue" in the long run. I don't want my nose to go up & down, up & down each year. There's also a week of downtime from slight overfill, swelling and bruising after the HA filler too, which is not ideal in my face-to-face job.
Is there the option of having the filler dissolved prior to commencing Silicone Micro injections? They don't do Silicone Micro here in Australia. I've been offered Aquamid as a 10 year solution, but I don't like this product.
I would be happy to travel to Dallas for treatment if a candidate.
Thank you
