Is it safe to get filler in the nose after rhinoplasty?

M
MckeilaLawMay 29, 2020

I had a rhinoplasty using ear cartilage and silicone implant in 2017. Now that my nose has settled I've noticed that my nose bridge and tip are not as high and defined as I would like. Is it possible and safe to inject filler in the dorsum and tip? What kind of filler is recommended? For longer lasting results, is it safe to use Bellafill or PDO threads?

Thank you for your question, Botox results last up to 3 to 4 months and can be softened with Venus Legacy and Thermage treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
