I have never seen anyone else with a vein like this unless they were an infant, but they are supposed to go away. I am 21 now and it has been very visable my whole life. Would this stop me from being able to get a nose job, surgical or with fillers? If I got hit in the nose, would it lead to any more trauma?

Answer: Prominent Vein on Nose Hello peytonalexis56, The vascular anatomy - that is, the configuration of arteries and veins - of the nose is quite complex. There is a naturally occurring vein called the Angular Vein which runs along the sidewall of the nose, which may be unusually prominent in you. However, this is difficult to determine with certainty without a photo. This will not prevent you from undergoing a surgical rhinoplasty (nose job). As far as a nonsurgical rhinoplasty using filler, the angular vein is a structure that must be avoided during the procedure. I recommend a consultation with a plastic surgeon experienced in this procedure to assess whether or not it will be an appropriate and safe option for you. If your nose is hit, damage to the vein will likely result in a large bruise, but in the absence of other injury it will not likely jeopardize the survival of your entire nose.
