Hello, I have had bellafill to the tip and column of my nose. From what I've read, many surgeons won't perform on patients like myself. Why does bellafill in the nose make it much more difficult to operate on, especially if you are happy with the placement and wouldn't want to alter those areas in a rhinoplasty? For instance, I would only want to make my nose bridge thinner. Is this possible?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question.

Answer: Bellafill may not preclude rhinoplasty surgery. Bellafill Is a partially permanent filler. Perhaps some surgeons are not comfortable with a permanent filler in your nasal soft tissue. If you have very little of this filler in your nose, it may not be problematic for your rhinoplasty specialist. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Rhinoplasty is possible after bellafill Hi it is Dr Olgun from Istanbul/Turkey. First of all bellafill makes the surgery area a little bit complicated but it is possible to do your surgery. Unless we have to take the filler out for reshaping your nose, It is not possible to shape only bridge we have to arrange new nose cartilages angles according the new shape of bridge. So we need to take the bellafiller out.

Answer: Bellafill and rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Bellafill and other fillers can safely be removed during your surgery. It is more challenging to remove than a normal HA filler but it can still safely be done. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: It depends somewhat on where the Bellafil is and what the goals of the operation are. More... If the Bellafil is in the tip, and the only work to be done is up on the bridge, it could be fine. But it always depends. For example, the surgeon might have to go *through* the tip area to get to the parts you want to change. Even then, though, it's not the end of the world -- the Bellafil could be removed and other work done in that area. Have to say, I think it's rare that filler makes an improvement in a nose that can't be done much, much better with surgery. It might be an opportunity for a surgeon to show you how the areas with the Bellafil could be even better without the Bellafil.
