Hello, Does juvaderm and other HA fillers around the nose need to be dissolved before rhinoplasty surgery? Ive recently had filler injected under eye, cheek and nasiolabial fold area and plan to undergo rhinoplasty within the next 6 months. Thanks!
Answer: Fillers & Dissolving In our clinic, what I would neither perform nor recommend in general is filler. Each surgeon will have their own view and opinion on this and it may be best to discuss with your doctor. Filler may bring balance to uneven topography of the cheek area, which could positively affect your outcome helping it appear more symmetrical. Too much filler, however could negatively impact the result your surgeon is able to achieve. Without seeing a photo, it’s not possible to say. The best way of dissolving HA is to perform slowly, over several visits. Dissolving does not always happen symmetrically. Symmetrical dissolving is only an idea once fillers are placed. It will also depend on your long term goals. Would you want to touch-up your filler post-op? If so, perhaps better not to dissolve just to repeat. Your surgeon can create a long-term treatment plan with you based on your goals and best weigh in. I hope this is helpful in guiding your pre-operative conversations!
