Thinking of getting rhinoplasty but I have Belotero under eye fillers, would that be ok?

I perform rhinoplasty surgery on many patients who have filler in their cheeks and undereye area. As a specialist in rhinoplasty, I see this often, and unless there is an unusual situation, it would not compromise the results of the rhinoplasty. Although swelling and bruising are kept at a minimum due to the way I perform surgery, you might experience a bit of swelling in your undereye area after surgery since hyaluronic acid tends to absorb water, but this would quickly dissipate. I recommend consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon in person to discuss your rhinoplasty and your expectations.

Hello, It should be ok to have a rhinoplasty if you have filler in your cheeks. The only potential issue I could see there would be if when you got the fillers, if you suffered some vascular complication related to the fillers in a blood vessel. Outside of that though, if your fillers went well and there were no issues, then you should be fine to have a rhinoplasty.

Undereye fillers isn't a barrier for rhinoplasty. You need to inform your doctor about them though. If you consider combining fat injection with a nose job in that case the fillers should be dissolved at least one month before in case if touch up might be required. Personally, I utilize Closed Atraumatic Technique to reshape the nose in the most sophisticated way by protecting the anatomy of the nose.

Dear MtnSky,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to get rhinoplasty if you have dermal fillers. If you are considering a treatment, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

In my opinion, there would not be any problem with having had Belotero under the eyes before a rhinoplasty. The filler should not affect the surgery and vice versa.

It is totally acceptable to undergo a cosmetic rhinoplasty if you had fillers placed underneath the lower islands. A rhinoplasty is performed to change the shape of the nose, and is considered cosmetic and must be paid for by the patient themselves. A septoplasty is performed in the back of the nose for a deviated septum blocking airflowDynamics. Both procedures can be performed together under one anesthesia with one recovery period.

Generally, eyelid fillers should not be a containdication to undergoing a rhinop;lasty and should increase potential problems.

Keep in mind that following advice from a surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you what to do without examining you, physically feeling your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your best surgery. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest that you find a surgeon certified by the American Board of American Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person and see if they suggest hyaluronidase to remove the fillers before surgery.
