Is a popular procedure we do in Mizu, averaging about 3-4 procedures a day. Other than surgical options, nose augmentation is done with fillers, threads, or a combination of both. Nose fillers & threads aims to increase the height of the nose bridge, improve definition of the nose contours, and sharpen the tip of the nose.
Dermal fillers are commonly used to fill up areas that are lacking in volume, or for the purpose of augmentation.
Nose fillers are particularly sought after with Asians because Asians generally lack, or has a shorter, nose bridge. Other than a lack in height along the bridge area, Asians also tend to have a rounder nose tip which can be corrected with fillers.
Nose fillers are also suitable for use when someone has a hump or a dent along the bridge of their nose. It can fill up the dent or the areas around a hump to make the nose bridge straight, and at the same time increase the height of the bridge.
A higher, straighter nose bridge and a sharper tip. For some patients with a downward pointing nose, fillers can also be used to lift the nose tip.

Hyaluronic acid fillers should last between 9 – 12 months, depending on individual. The hyaluronic acid content gets reabsorbed by the body over time. Some patients prefer to come back before the effect fully goes away.
Fillers typically last for 12 months. Different type of fillers are designed for different areas of the face and have different longevity due to the filler material.
Most fillers will dissolve away and gets broken down by the body into water. However, there are cases that we have seen before with fillers that last much longer that it was intended to. For these cases, the filler had to be dissolved by injecting a dissolver call hyalase which breaks down the filler into water.
Most filler injections are not painful with numbing cream applied. There are some areas which are more sensitive, such as the lips, and can be more uncomfortable.
The skill and hands of a doctor also directly contributes to the amount of discomfort. An experienced and gentle doctor can mean much lesser discomfort during the procedure.
Like all medical procedures, there are always potential side effects during injectable procedures.
The more common side effects associated with injections are bruising and swelling. Bruising and swelling happens when a larger blood vessel under the skin gets injured during an injection. If present, bruising and swelling typically goes away after 4-7 days.
The most serious side effect associated with filler injections is vessel occlusion. Vessel occlusion is when the filler is directly injected into an important blood vessel and blocks blood flow, potentially resulting in skin necrosis and even blindness.
Some patients have heard about fillers causing blindness, in particular nose fillers. In actual fact, fillers performed at any part of the face can potentially lead to blindness. Blindness happens when the filler material travels up the blood vessel and blocks the blood flow to the optic nerve in the eye. Blindness is more often associated with nose fillers due to the blood vessels supplying the eye being close to the nose. Skin necrosis, which is the dying of skin cells, happens when the blood vessels supplying the area of skin affected gets occluded and blocked.
The risks of skin necrosis and blindness can be greatly reduced with a clear knowledge of the blood vessels in the face. Therefore, it is very important to go to an experienced doctor for filler injections. More than 90% of filler complications happen at illegal salons or beauty parlours which are not authorised to perform such procedures.
