I had non surgical rhinoplasty 2weeks ago on a fri by the Sun it was severely swollen had developed a yellow blister and was deep red/purple in colour.went to see out of hours doctor who said it’s infection.gave me high dose of antibiotics and it has improved-However the skin is still red/purple and sore.Woman who did it saysit’s normal and just wait for it to pass But Is it still normal to still be red and sore even 2weeks later. 1st 2pics are 2days after and 2nd 2pics are today(2 weeks)
Answer: Biofilm infections may be indolent and may require long courses of antibiotics. I'm happy to see that the coloration of your nose has moved in the right direction. If there is persistent warmth and redness in the area, depending on your examination, a longer course of antibiotics might be necessary to eradicate and indolent infection if one exists. The best recommendation would be to bring your concerns directly to your physician for evaluation and management. If that is not helpful, ask for a second opinion, or consider calling The company of the product that was injected. Wishing you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Probably Resolving Ischemia After 5 Minute Nose Job Procedure Hi and thanks for your question. It looks like what you experienced was probably a bit of compromise to your skin as a result of your filler injection. It does look like it is getting better, so there is no emergency here. You do not need to rush into your provider’s office and the redness will go away. Your injector should, however, help you by treating the redness with IPL or vascular laser and they should not charge you for that because this is likely a complication of their injection. You do not need to have the filler dissolved as long as you continue to improve. This is certainly not normal, but its not a big deal at this point. In the future, I would suggest that someone more experienced inject your nose. Recognizing complications is important. Hope that helps

Answer: Nose complication There is a possibility that this represents a vascular occlusion. In other words, product got into a blood vessel and is blocking blood flow. Very dangerous! You must go to your injector immediately and have the filler dissolved. Don't take any chances and go immediately!

Answer: Liquid Rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. The answer is no, this is not normal to have any sort of painful redness 2 weeks out from injection. This could be an infection of a biofilm or even and eschemic event. You need to follow up with your injector and consider having the filler dissolved. But at the very least, you need to be evaluated.
