The recent popularity of “non-surgical nose jobs” and “injection rhinoplasty” in Toronto, means that more people who are seeking Rhinoplasty,surgery may be arriving at their consultation with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers already in their nasal tissue.
While some patients who choose Injection Rhinoplasty to alter the appearance of their nose are quite happy with their results, others may not be as satisfied with their results. Injection rhinoplasty can help reshape the nose, however, it doesn’t make the nose smaller in size, nor does it help with breathing issues. Added volume, if not well allocated, can make the nose appear larger.
If you’ve had filler placed in your nose and you are now seeking the help of a rhinoplasty surgeon to plan for a nose job, it’s important to know which filler you had injected as Toronto is home to many popular injectable fillers.
Very small changes in an area as visible as the face, can create the impression of a big change in appearance. Even a small amount of dermal filler injected on the nasal bridge to correct a hump, can, create an enlarged overall appearance if not strategically placed on the nose.
Rhinoplasty is a complex, subspecialty of facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The changes your expert Toronto rhinoplasty surgeon will target are typically measured in mere millimetres, therefore they must be informed of any facial filler that has been injected into your nose.
If you are currently considering a surgical nose job in Toronto, and you’ve considered the use of fillers, we recommend that you meet with your facial cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty surgeon first so that they can properly assess your nose and offer you some options before the appearance is altered with fillers.
If you had a natural, hyaluronic acid-based filler such as Juvederm, Restylane or Volift placed in your nose, it will be expected to last between 6-9 months before the body naturally reabsorbs the HA material. If on the other hand, your injector placed something more permanent such as Radiesse, Bellafill, (formally know as Artecoll), or a synthetic based filler, this will affect planning for your procedure and informing your rhinoplasty surgeon is key to your safety and optimal results. Your facial plastic surgeon may opt to dissolve some of the product that you have in place, or you may decide together to plan to delay your surgery until after the product has naturally dissipated.
Because rhinoplasty surgery is planned with custom alterations measured in millimetres, Dr. Philip Solomon, Otolaryngologist Head and Neck Surgeon practicing Facial Plastic Surgery in Toronto, will ensure that the timing of your procedure coincides with a time when the product has dissipated or dissolved completely. It isn’t ideal to plan a rhinoplasty surgery while your tissue is changing in shape and size.
Sometimes, after a primary rhinoplasty, the patient will use a small amount of filler to correct irregularities or indentations left by scars. Talk to your facial cosmetic surgeon about the best timing for you to consider injectable fillers as a compliment to your rhinoplasty procedure.

Kathy Ellis2024-12-16 I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Solomon, and couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. From the first consultation, Dr. Solomon’s expertise and professionalism put me at ease. He guided me every step of the way, ensuring that I understood the process and felt comfortable. The outcome exceeded my expectations, as I now look like a fresher, younger version of myself. Dr. Solomon’s attention to detail and skill truly enhanced my natural beauty. I feel more confident and rejuvenated than ever. I must also recognize two of his amazing staff, Nurse Maddie and Nurse Nancy who were kind, attentive, responsive and always available when I reached out to them. Thank you Dr. Solomon, for giving me a renewed sense of self! Vanessa Gray2024-12-06 I am exactly one week out from my deep plane facelift surgery. I am healing so quickly and the results are already so amazing. Dr. Philip Solomon is not only a skilled surgeon but an artist. I travelled all the way from Vancouver and have no regrets. Thank you Dr. Solomon, Nancie, and the rest of your team! L J2024-12-06 Dr Solomon and his team have been exceptional. Ive always felt self conscious about the droopiness of my nose tip, but from the first consultation, Dr Solomon put me at ease with his excellent bedside manner and willingness to answer all my questions. After surgery, a nurse called me to check in, and my recovery process has been quite smooth. Now at 8 weeks post op I feel a newfound confidence every time I look in the mirror. Nancy has also been incredibly supportive, patiently answering questions and providing reassurance as I continue to navigate some post-op swelling (which is expected). Incredible experience and I’m so grateful to the entire team! Jen Muller2024-12-05 I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Solomon. A few years ago, I had rhinoseptoplasty for a deviated septum and a nostril that seemed to be collapsing. Since the surgery, I have been able to breathe much better. I then developed a cyst deep under the layers of my skin beside my nose. It took three years of meeting with various experts to try to figure out what was going on and how to remove it without scarring. Apparently this type of cyst is very rare. It took a long time, waiting for ultrasounds and CT scans. Dr. Solomon helped me through this entire process and was able to remove it from the inside of my nose without scarring. I cannot express enough of my appreciation for the removal of the cyst. It was causing a lot of issues for me with swelling that was unpredictable and distressing. It is a big decision to consider surgery and it’s important to research who you choose to work with, I would feel confident in your choice if you choose to work with Dr. Solomon. Susan Khamassi2024-12-03 I had rhinoplasty with Dr. Solomon. I was very nervous for years to do it because I wanted to still look natural. During my consult he listened to everything I wanted and now after 5 months post surgery I am beyond happy with the results. He is very skilled and would recommend him 1000 percent ! Thank you again ! R Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is great! Makes you feel comfortable and is also good with his aftercare and post procedure check ups. Results are amazing! Irene Karabassis2024-12-02 Dr. Solomon is amazing! He makes you feel comfortable and always addresses any of your concerns. Results are beautiful and natural! Anna Kayden2024-12-02 I’ve had two surgeries with Dr. Solomon and couldn’t be happier with the results. He’s an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon whose judgment I trust completely. Dr. Solomon provides honest, realistic feedback and never overpromises the degree of results, which I deeply appreciate. His clinical team is outstanding—they create a safe, welcoming environment every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for future procedures if needed. Devina Dasilva2024-10-29 It was a blessing in disguise that your receptionists treated me so poorly which led me to go elsewhere. I Thank the Lord each day for not having Dr. Solomon touch my nose and perform surgery. My nose is in the utmost pristine condition and it's only because of the Lord. What a huge blessing to find an amazing surgeon elsewhere. A big Thank You to all the receptionists who were absolutely rude towards me. Had it not been for your ridiculous behaviour - I might have walked out with a botched nose job. Tina S2024-10-25 Dr. Solomon did a top notch job on my revision rhinoplasty. I am truly amazed at the results - they are even better than what I had hoped for. Even with the issues with my nose, he fixed the issues completely and made adjustments as-needed for a stunning result. And did it all "closed". Quite incredible. I'm still amazed. Prior to surgery (consultation phase), Dr. Solomon answered my many, many questions without hesitation - bc of my experience with a previous surgeon, I was quite nervous and asked many questions. He was very patient with me. The entire team was exceedingly professional - even his operative support team. 5 stars for them too. As a side note, I researched Toronto plastic surgeons for months before landing on Dr. Solomon. I've also since learned that he has an excellent reputation not just among patients, but within the medical community. I recommend Dr. Solomon wholeheartedly.
