In this article, we will try to answer all the questions about nose fillers.
What is Nose Filler?
Nose filler is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure performed to correct minor defects in the shape of the nose, lift the tip of the nose, or make the nose silhouette more aesthetic, through usually using biocompatible substances that are part of the human body, such as hyaluronic acid.
How is Nose Filler Applied?

What Should Be Considered After Nose Filler?
After application, slight swelling-redness or rarely bruising may occur in the injection points. These side effects usually disappear in a short time. Avoiding heavy exercises and applying pressure to the face after the procedure is essential.
For Which Situations Is Nose Filler Suitable?
Nose filler is ideal for aesthetic corrections such as slight improvements in the nose silhouette, lifting the tip of the nose, or hiding or reducing the excess on the nasal dorsum. Conditions requiring major changes in the entire nose require surgical intervention.

Who Can’t Have Nose Fillers?
Nasal filler cannot be applied to people allergic to certain filler materials due to their skin structure or health condition, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people with serious health problems. Additionally, people with active infections in the nasal area should not have filler. In addition to all these, as we mentioned above, nose fillers should not be the first choice for people with significant nose curvature or very thick skin.

Therefore, the overall size of the nose cannot be significantly augmented with nose fillers. However, small changes made using fillers can make the nose look more defined and balanced. In some cases, this may cause the nose to appear more voluminous, but this creates an aesthetic effect rather than an actual enlargement of the nose structure.
