Can pyrifom fossa be done over previous nasolabial folds filler?

Question

Can pyiriform fossa be done over previous nasolabial folds filler? I've got a hard bit of dermal filler next to nasolabial fold line, can pyiriform fossa still be done?

Hi @Celebrated998991! Yes, you are able to fill the piriform fossa. However, this will not get rid of the hard bit of previous dermal filler. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Hi Celebrated998991. Great question. The short answer is yes, you can get filler at the piriform fossa. However, this will not get rid of the hard bit of previous dermal filler. A lump/bump after filler can be smoothed out with massage (if done recently) or dissolving (if performed with an HA filler).

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

You can definitely add more fillers to the fossa just make sure that it is the same class of fillers, even if they’re from different manufacturers. As an example, if you used Juvaderm in your nasal labial folds, you can use rest Celine in the fossa. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
