Will a second nose filler be okay if I have a silicone implant in my nose?

Affectionate2223Jun 15, 2019
I understand there is some risk of infection if I go for nose fillers after I have silicone implant in my nose, the implant has been there for a year, but if I go for repeated injection of nose fillers while there is still some nose filler left, can I say that the risk of infection will be a lot lower?

Based on your photos, you appear to have a relatively Broad and flat nasal appearance with a droopy tip. In our experience, rhinoplasty surgery is the most predictable way to achieve permanent nasal narrowing and tip lifting. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

The experience of your injector is critical. The blood vessels tend to run along the side walls of the nose. In that regard, there are different risks associated with the area of the nose that's being injected. We prefer microdroplet Silikon 1000 injections for permanent nonsurgical nose job...

Please consider asking you a question with photos! If you have a broad flat nasal appearance, injectable fillers may lead to a wider nasal appearance. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

If you don't have any dermatological conditions associated with the skin of your nasal tip, adding volume to your nasal tip in the form of fillers may lead to a wider appearance. If you like, rescue question with better photographs. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
