Revision Rhinoplasty - filler in dorsum at the site of open roof deformity

Question

Hello I have long lasting filler in my dorsum bridge at the site of open roof deformity This filler is not hyaluronic acid it’s calcium hydroxyapatite which cannot be disssolved So can i do revision rhinoplasty ? And remove the filler during open technique surgey ? How to know if the filler is injected deep in the bone or in dermis ? Because recently i knew that if the filler is injected deep in the bone so it’s easily removed? Is there a solution? Thank you in advance ❤️

In general, removing non-dissolvable fillers like calcium hydroxyapatite during a revision rhinoplasty is a complex process. The surgeon can assess the depth of the filler during the procedure and decide on the best approach for removal.

For this reason, it is recommended to consult with a skilled board certified plastic surgeon well versed in revision rhinoplasty.

Best of luck !
