Is it possible for the nose to grow as a side effect of fillers and laser treatments?

A patient asked 6 years ago
I am two years since cosmetic procedures. 2 years ago I had botox in crows feet once, and filler in nasolabial folds. Both have since worn off. I also had tear trough filler which I had dissolved and I am close to my original anatomy. I had a series of 5 laser genesis and 3 ipl with no adverse effects. What could have caused the tip of my nose to grow like this? Will it return to it's normal size? I always liked my nose but it doesn't look quite the same.

Nose Size Change After Filler

  Hi and thank you for your question! Treatments such as filler and lasers done on other parts of face are not expected to have any effects on the nose and there is no such a side effect. What commonly happens is that as we age and lose volume in our face and the volume distribution in face shifts downward, nose might appear larger even though it is really not the nose that is changing, but the rest of the face that is loosing volume. I hope it helps and good luck!
