I'm Unable to Get Rhinoplasty Until the Radiesse Has Dissolved. What Are my Options?
I have always been self-conscious of my nose and have recently decided to get rhinoplasty. During my consultation, my doctor said that he is unable to operate until the radiesse has fully absorbed so he can see the true structure of my nose. While I understand his concern, I won't feel comfortable while the radiesse is absorbing and want to know if I have any options. For instance, can I get juvederm injected into my nose and then dissolve it right before my surgery?Or does it not dissolve fully

Radiesse and rhinoplasty
I agree with your doctor. It is best to wait to have rhinoplasty until the tissues are more normalized. Juvederm may not be any better, as it will cause inflammation to the nasal tissues, thus making surgery difficult. The process of injecting hyaluronidase to dissolve Juvederm will cause significant inflammation and make surgery difficult and unpredictable.

Rhinoplasty
You may be able to proceed with rhinoplasty despite the Radiesse injections. It depends on where and how much was injected as well as what your goals of rhinoplasty are. for example if you have a large bump on the bridge of your nose and it bothers you significantly, I believe you could have the surgery done despite the prior injections. Good luck!

Radiesse & Rhino
Radiesse may last up to 2 years and waiting is not what you want to hear. However, think of your best results from rhinoplasty and consider your best options!

Rhinoplasty Following Radiesse Injections
You have several options depending on where the Radiesse injections were placed and when that was done.It would also be helpful if you had pictures of your nose before the injections.It might be appropriate to have the rhinoplasty without waiting for the Radiesse to dissolve.You could use Juvederm temporarily but it may be difficult to later determine how much of the improvement is secondary to the Radiesse vs the Juvederm.

Radiesse and Rhinoplasty
Dear Gianna, There are several questions that need to be answered.First question is where was the Radiesse injected in the nose and how much? If a small amount of radiesse was injected for a minor correction then you may be okay for surgery. Secondly, How long ago did you have the Radiesse injected? Radiesse can take a long time to completely dissipate so it would be advantages to know how long you have had the injections. Third question is what are you attempting to do with the...

I am unable to get Rhinoplasty until the Radiesse has disolved. What are my options?
Hello, you can still go forward and have rhinoplasty, after the Radiesse has been removed. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon and let him know when it was injected and how much. He will have a surgical plan and explain that to you. Good luck to you.

Ideally you want the radiesse to completely resorb...but it may not for several months. Performing a rhinoplasty whn the radiesse is gone will allow for your surgeon to treat the problems clearly.

Radiesse and rhinoplasty
Although it is ideal to wait for the fillers to resolve, Radiesse resolution may take several years. The amount as well as the site of injected fillers in the nose will also affect the outcome or whether one can still go ahead and do the surgery. If a small amount of the filler has been injected in the dorsum or the tip, then it can be removed during surgery

Waiting To Assess For A Rhinoplasty
Dear Gianna,
I tend to agree with your surgeon.
Simply, the more you wait for the Radiesse to be completely absorbed/dissolved the better your nasal anatomy will show; a surgeon needs to have a "stable" nasal anatomy on which he/she will plan the rhinoplasty.
Therefore, any alteration to the "crude ground" will increase the risks of dissatisfaction after the rhinoplasty has been performed.
That being said please remember that commendable results require an...

Rhinoplasty after Radiesse has been injected into the nose
It really all depends on how much Radiesse was injected and where it was injected. I agree with your surgeon that waiting to allow a significant amount of the product to dissolve will likely increase the chances of the nose looking better after surgery. I personally wouldn't suggest the Juvederm approach although in theory this might work. However it may not work as well as desired, still leaving you with the same problem of assessing just what the actual anatomy is at the time of surgery....
