Nose Skin Not Healing After Artefill Nose Job: What Should I Do to Help the Skin Heal?

I assume you were pre-tested with the artefil test injection and demonstrated no sensitivity several weeks after the test injection which is the standard of care. The skin in the picture appears hyperemic, with mild congestion and redness. If this was only days or a couple of weeks out and I was concerned with compression, I would suggest applying niro paste to improve venous drainage and relieve the vascular compression. At one year out, the choices are much more limited and... more

I am very conservative with Artefill. The nose is the riskiest area to place ANY filler, much less a permanent one. The risk of vascular compression is very real and the risk is increased in smokers and anyone having previous nose surgery. I would try daily massage to stimulate the circulation and I'd try Neocutis Biorestorative Cream, but I am not sure anything will help very much. Good luck.

See your Dermatologist. Although it is not clear from the photo, you may have a pre-skin cancer or skin cancer that is totally unrelated to the Artefill. I have seen situations like this in my practice.
