Filler and Hyaluronidase after Rhinoplasty (Photo)

February 16, 2024
Asked By:Thoughtful731166 in Boston, Massachusetts

I was injected with filler for a notch in my right nostril (photo1), which showed after rhinoplasty, and with steroid to improve swelling. I got vascular occlusion and my nose got purple (photo2). I received two Hyaluronidase injections over 8 days. My nose did not go to necrosis but the skin became dark (photo3). While it improved, it has not changed color much in three weeks (photo4). Also, the skin gets darker when I am outside. Will this resolve? How long it will take? What should I do next?
