Will Restylene or Juvederm on my Nose Bridge Make a Rhinoplasty More Complicated?

I have had an open rhino for all parts of the nose. I plan on having another one in the future for all parts again. I am extremely concerned about judgement from my family/friends finding out(this happened after my initial rhino). I want to "prep" them by getting filler in the bridge area at the very least to make the transition and change less obvious. My concern is if filler will count as another "revision", complicating my rhino with scar tissue, damage, etc since i know more rhinos=harder.

Filler injected into nose bridge prior to revision rhinoplasty not recommended

There are multiple complications, such as necrosis that can occur from these injectables and a scarred nose. It is best to have a revision rhinoplasty by a surgeon who specializes in complicated rhinoplasty. If you are contemplating an additional revision rhinoplasty, do not undergo any further injections into the nose.

Filler and rhinoplasty surgery

It is acceptable to get filler along the bridge of your nose with restylane or juvederm but I would recommend you wait for it to resolve before proceeding with a rhinoplasty or have it removed with hyaluronidase prior to your rhinoplasty to make the procedure easier and more accurate. Good luck.

Restylane or Juvederm is fine

Restylane or Juvederm are both fine fillers to use and should not cause any problems for future Revision Rhinoplasty work that has to be done. These fillers typically last for three to five months so make sure that your surgeon knows you have the fillers and that you wait for these to dissipate prior to the revision work. These fillers are not the same as having Revision Rhinoplasty and should not have the same effects with scar tissue or cause any damage when done by an experienced injector... more

Restylane

Restylane can be a great way to enhance the nose minimally. If you do decided to do Restylane I would wait 3-5 months afterwards to do the Rhino, this way all or most of the product will have absorbed. There is little to no scarring from Restylane if done by an experienced injector.

Will Restylene or Juvederm on my Nose Bridge Make a Rhinoplasty More Complicated?

No, IMHO these temporary fillers won't have any long term affect on your ability to have a Revision Rhinoplasty either open or closed. Be sure the Rhinoplasty Surgeoon using the filler and performing the Revision Rhinoplasty understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial (and nasal) beauty for the creation of a naturally, more attrcactive nose.

Rhinoplasty after Fillers

As long as the fillers are placed in the bridge at the right depth by an experienced injector there is minimal risk. What bothers me about you is that you're doing this to satisfy your family and friends; I would love to see you select the best and easiest approach to achieve the results you want - this is for you.
