Otherwise, a filler should have no effect on the sinuses, nor should the sinuses bother the filler. I might, however, avoid a permanent filler in the nose, such as Artefill, if there were a lot of nasal... more

Fillers to nose and sinus concerns

Because the filler to the nose is done between the skin and supporting structures, there is no effect on the sinus or vice versa.
