Is Filler Safe on Top of a Silicone Implant in the Nose?

August 20, 2010
Asked By:3772anon in Seoul, South Korea

Hello. I'm about 2 weeks post-op asian rhinoplasty. I wanted a straight nose, but it is slightly scooped in along the bridge. Would it be safe to get injectable filler along the bridge and around the bridge, even though I have a silicone implant? What kind of filler would you recommend and what are the risks? My biggest worry is that if an infection arises from the filler, I would have to remove the implant. thank you.
