Filler on nose/Dangers of injecting vein across bridge

Correcting a defect in the nose with a filler is very simple and satisfying. If you can see your vein, all the better as the doctor will be able to avoid it. Drawing back prior to injecting also makes the injection into a vein less likely, although always possible. Make sure that you trust the person that you choose to do this and that they have worked on the nose before.

Fillers on the nose are a very nice way to reshape it.  There is a chance of vascular occlusion and for this reason it is often safer to use a hyaluronic acid product such as Juvederm or Restylane because they are reversible should there be a problem.  Radiesse can be a higher risk, (should there be a problem), because there is no quick way to reverse it if there is a problem.  The risk with hyaluronic acid products is minimal.  And of course there is larger risk with surgery.

Some of my happiest patients are those who have had post surgical defects corrected with a filler. If done carefully it is very safe and requires only a tiny amount of product (which makes it very affordable). Radiesse is not permanent or semi permanent, but like the hyaluronic acid fillers it is absorbable. It does tend to last longer, however, on average about 12 months. As others have said, make sure your doctor has a lot of experience with advanced use of fillers. It is not necessarily the same person you would choose to operate on your nose!
