Permanent nose filler ischemia - is rhinoplasty still a possibility?

July 4, 2025
Asked By:nurseeee in Morgan Hill, California

Hello, I am wondering if rhinoplasty is still a possibility for me after I had artefill injected to my nose November 2012 and had tissue ischemia after. After the injection I saw white under the skin (possible the product) and my nose and cheeks progressively turned red the next couple of days. A tiny wound (looked like an ulcer) formed and I saw my PCP for antibiotics. Skin never turned black and redness resolved 1-2 months. Because of this I never had anything done to my face, but am wondering if I am a candidate for rhinoplasty with augmentation as I have an Asian nose.
