Restylane or Juvederm much safer in nose than Radiesse.

The tip of the nose is the most dangerous place to inject filler. If a blood vessel is compressed, the tip loses circulation and can result in necrosis (tissue death). This can be deforming. In my opinion, a tiny amount of Restylane is safer than Radiesse simply becaue it theoretically can be dissolved if there is a complication.
