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

In our practice, we specialize in the use of microdroplet Silikon-1000 for permanent non-surgical nose job treatments. We have had excellent success utilizing it to camouflage or to augment a previously placed silicone sheet. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

There is a risk of infection with any filler injections.  Because you have a nasal implant, extreme care needs to be taken to avoid any infection as it could lead to the implant becoming infected and subsequently be required to be removed.  The best recommendation is to consult with a board certified expert injector who can assist you with achieving the results you seek in the safest possible manner.

I have performed filler injections on top of a sillicone implant before. There is no known "degree" of infection since combining filler injections on top of an implant has not been thoroughly researched. Antibiotics would be used to treat an infection however more severe infections will require implant removal as bacteria can stick and hide in synthetic implant material so that your body will be unable to clear it. Hope this helps!Johnson C.

hard to know. I have done a few uneventfully. The issue is not your activity. There are huge numbers of bacteria on normal skin and you can't sterilize the skin. There is probably some risk but I have no idea what it is.
