Abstract
According to American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), 200,924 people had rhinoplasties in 2005.1 Patients
typically have surgical rhinoplasty to correct unsightly noses resulting from trauma, surgery, or heredity. Several alternatives
presently exist for patients considering surgical rhinoplasty. These include injections of botulinum toxins to correct the
shape of the nasal tip and the use of various fillers to correct contour and profile defects. This article presents a simple and
effective alternative using hyaluronic acid for some patients requiring nasal recontouring. The procedure offers patients the
opportunity to avoid the risks and expense associated with surgical correction.
