How dangerous is a liquid nose job after a rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I received a rhinoplasty in November of 2017. The doctor (who was great) made a break at the top bridge of my nose which I have developed a couple weird “indents” around where the break was. I am looking into getting a liquid nose job to fill these indents and give a fuller straighter appearance. I have now made an appt with my original surgeon, but I am scared for my life that I will go blind/kill the skin. How common is this? And should I not get it?

Thank you for your question.  A liquid nose job is relatively safe to perform after a rhinoplasty.  I always recommend scheduling an appointment with an experienced doctor for best results.  All the best!

Hello, Nonsurgical treatments such as fillers will make the nose bigger and they are temporary solutions.Your issue can be addressed to Rhinoplasty Closed and Atraumatic technique which will provide you better, natural and balanced look with maximal healing, mininum edema&swelling. Best Regards,

Thank you for your question and for sharing your photo and story. Liquid rhinoplasty would be a great option for you, however if there are more risks for someone who has had trauma or previous rhinoplasty surgery. Based on your photos, it doesn't take a lot of product to be able to help you achieve your goals. I would definitely go to an experienced plastic surgeon who has done liquid nose jobs and is very familiar with the nasal anatomy and what can happen after surgery.

I recommend following up with your surgeon about whether or not you're a good candidate for a non-surgical nose job following your previous surgery. Injectable fillers, along with Botox, can be used to improve symmetry and fill indentations. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

The likelihood of dead skin or blindness after an injectable filler treatment is very low. It largely depends on your doctor's technique, and the type of filler used. In our practice, we may prefer permanent nonsurgical rhinoplasty with microdroplet Silikon1000. If you're a good candidate, there is no risk of necrosis or blindness with silicone oil. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph
