Fillers around the nose
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this paper is to investigate the efficacy of filler applications which were evaluated in terms of nasal deformity and quality of life of the patients, and to review the fillers around the nose.
Patients and methods: Forty patients who underwent filler application were included into the study and were divided into Group 1 (Deep Radix), Group 2 (Minor irregularities due to rhinoplasty), Group 3 (Shallow dorsum) and Group 4 (Dorsal irregularity). There were 10 patients in each of the groups. In all groups, nasal deformity score was evaluated with a 1 to 5 scale as following: 1- No deformity, 2- Hardly visible deformity, 3- Visible deformity, 4- Moderate deformity, 5- Apparent deformity. Quality of life was evaluated by a 1 to 10 scale, 1 showing very low and 10 showing very high.
Results: Our results showed that there were statistically significant improvements (decreased) in nasal deformity evaluation scores after the procedure compared to the before the procedure scores in Group 1 (Deep Radix), Group 3 (Shallow dorsum) and Group 4 (Dorsal irregularity) (p<0.05) However in Group 2 (Minor irregularities due to rhinoplasty), there were no significant differences between the nasal deformity evaluation scores after and before the procedure (p>0.05). For nasal deformity evaluation after the procedure, Group 1 (Deep Radix), Group 3 (Shallow dorsum) and Group 4 (Dorsal irregularity) scores were significantly lower (better) than Group 2 (Minor irregularities due to rhinoplasty) scores (padjusted <0.0125). In all four groups (Deep Radix, Minor irregularities due to rhinoplasty, Shallow dorsum, Dorsal irregularity), quality of life scores were significantly improved (increased) after the procedure compared to before the procedure (p<0.05). For Quality of life (VAS) before the procedure, Group 3 (Shallow dorsum) scores were significantly higher (improved, increased) than Group 1 (Deep Radix) and Group 4 (Dorsal irregularity) (padjusted <0.0125).
Conclusions: Filler applications improved (decreased) nasal deformity evaluation scores and improved (increased) quality of life scores. Fillers can be applied for deep radix, minor irregularities due to rhinoplasty, shallow dorsum and dorsal irregularity. It is essential to choose carefully appropriate materials and procedures for patients to obtain optimum results.
