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?

If you are seeing a small indentation along the bridge of your nose, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for permanently camouflaging this area. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
