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

Question

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?

Micro droplet Silikon 1000 injections may be considered for adding permanent volume to somebody's nasal bridge that already has a silicone implant. We have not had any issues of infection. Hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hi,Thanks for the question. There will always be a risk of infection to the silicone implant when anything filler is injected. I would recomend duing the injection aseptically and with antibiotic prophylaxis to diminish the posibility of infection.Best,Dr.S.
