I Want To Increase the Height of my Nose Bridge with Fillers. Will My Sinus Issues Complicate This?

I have an Asian nose with a flatter bridge so I'm actually considering if I should go for a filler. But my main concern is that I've got sinus problems and very sensitive nose and I always have running nose. So if I can get a filler done, will there be any complications and/or restrictions like I can't sneeze too hard or rub my nose? I'd appreciate if I can get some professional advise here. Thank you.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty and sinus issues

I like injectable fillers to augment the bridge of the nose. The only particular issue I can foresee would be the chance of inadvertently displacing the filler before it's fixed in the tissues if a patient were to vigorously rub at the nose in the first few days after the injection. 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
