Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is performed by using a dermal filler to augment or \u201cbuild up\u201d the nose. \u00a0Since volume and height can only be added, it can not actually remove a dorsal hump (bump on the bridge of your nose), but depending on how it is injected it can lessen the appearance of the hump.<\/p>\n
The area of the bridge above the hump, connecting to the forehead, is referred to as the \u201cradix\u201d. \u00a0Sometimes this area is too low, causing the hump to look even larger than it really is. \u00a0When the area is augmented (built up and made higher), the result is a straighter profile and the appearance that the hump has been removed. \u00a0This does result in an overall taller and more projected nose, so it works best for patients with a deep, or low radix.<\/p>\n
