What is the degree of infection risk when getting nose fillers if I've had a silicone implant in my nose for a year?

Asked By:Affectionate2223 in California, CA

I want to inject nose fillers at the upper bridge of my nose and already have a silicone implant in my nose, I know there will be risk of infection. But I never touch my nose other than wearing extremely light pair of glasses or do any vigorous activity like swimming or running, so this mean that the risk of getting an infection is extremely low if I go for the nose filler injection right? Even if I get an infection, will antibiotics usually save me from having to remove the silicone implant?
