Radiesse for Nasal Tip Augmentation

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: Is Radiesse safe on nose with silicon implant?

Hi I am Asian and I got a silicon implant on the bridge of my nose last yr. I now want to try Radiesse injections for the tip of my nose. Is it safe to do considering I have the silicon on the bridge? Can a reaction occur?

Given the fact the a silicone implant exist under the skin, anything that is done to your nose that is invasive can increase the risks.  Risks include infection and subsequent exposure.  Now if the implant comes short to the tip then I would say the risk is less.  I would recommend staying very far away from the implant when injecting the tip.

Good luck.
