Hi. In April this year I had an unexplained and severe late onset inflammatory response to 6 year old nose filler that id had done to disguise a nose break. The worst of the swelling did subside by the end of may but the old nose filler was rock hard and twice the size. I had the filler dissolved on Friday 13th and my nose is back to normal size and shape which is fabulous as I'd always hated the filler and preferred the broken nose but was too nervous to get it dissolved. BUT I've now got another big problem in that I think the insane swelling from the late onset inflammatory response has broken my nose veins and also made my nose red. I could see broken veins before the dissolve, but the discoloration is since the dissolve. It looks awful and I just want this now nearly 3 month long ordeal to end! Please could someone tell me what I can do about this damaged skin on my nose and how long I should wait after the dissolving on 13th June. I know the veins won't resolve, but could the redness?
