9 months after filler my nose is still red. No pain, just redness. Opinions? (photos)

Question

Hi All, I got filler in my nose about 9 months ago to help after an un successful rhinoplasty. Most of the filler has dissolved but my nose is still red. It has been red from about 2 weeks after i got the filler. No pain just redness. Any ideas in what has caused it to be so red?

Thank you for your question , it’s very unusual for redness lasting for such a long time , possible it’s not related to the filler , I have couple of cases of delayed inflammatory response, but it’s very rare , and usually resolves with some anti inflammatory medications.

I'm not sure which filler you received, nor why your nose became red in color. Consider consulting with a reputable facial plastic surgeon, or cosmetic dermatologist. You may be a candidate for IPL, laser, or other light based treatment for minimizing redness and rosacea. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Hi! Your photo suggests that it could be a post treatment hyperemia. You should consult your doctor to get more information and recommendation. You may be advised a steroid based ointment or a laser treatment only after a thorough examination.

Appears as post surgical/post injection hyperemia. Might try steroid ointment or injections in low dose. There are some laser that could help reduce the red color.
