Can Radiesse and Restylane Both Be Present in the Nose at the Same Time for Non-surgical Rhinoplasty?

I've had Radiesse injection for nasal bridge augmentation, but I want to switch to Restylane. Do I need to wait for the Radiesse to completely disintegrate, or is it safe to have two different fillers in the nose concurrently? If so, will the Radiesse eventually completely disintegrate as I continue to get touch-ups with Restylane, until all that's left in my nose is Restylane?

Radiesse Combined With Perlane L Works Well For Nonsurgical Nose Jobs

Radiesse, a calcium-based volumizer, can most certainly be combined with a hyaluronic acid-based filler, such as Restylane. I have been performing nonsurgical nose jobs for more than a decade already and routinely combine Radiesse with a variety of hyaluronic acid filler or volumizers, either layering them or actually combining them within the same syringe depending upon the particular need or problem being addressed--whether treating droopy nasal tips, dents in the top or sides of the nose,... more

Combining Radiesse and Restylane for nonsurgical rhinoplasty

Radiesse and restylane can both be in your nose at the same time. Radiesse is generally the more cost effective treatment for non surgical rhinoplasty so you many want to consult with another experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeon to explore your options. see video

Non surgical rhinoplasty with Restylane or Radiesse

Good questions. You can certainly have either filler safely in your nose at the same time. I have been using it safely for almost decade in the nose. As a Facial Plastic Surgeon I would say that certain areas of the nose may be better suited for one filler versus another- especially if there is a history of previous nasal surgery which changes the native anatomy of the nose.

Can Radiesse and Restylane Both Be Present in the Nose at the Same Time for Non-surgical Rhinoplasty?

No, you can use both Radiesse and Restylane at the same time. We often combine different facial fillers for layering.

Fillers for Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

To answer your question, it is ok to have both the Radiesse and Restylane in your nose at the same time. In our practice, however, we use liquid injectable silicone for all our non-surgical (liquid) rhinoplasties as it is very precise and permanent. If you are going to stick with either Restylane or Radiesse, I would go with Radiesse as it is longer-lasting than Restylane.

Radiesse or Restylane for liquid rhinoplasty

Either Radiesse or Restylane can be used for a “liquid rhinoplasty” but Radiesse is much longer lasting. If you liked the results from the first injection then I would recommend that you stay with Radiesse but you can mix them.
