Can blackhead extraction on filler site ruin the fillers?

August 31, 2016
Asked By:cflorrick in Nashville, TN

I have gotten fillers on my nose, tip and between the eyebrows. I, however have blackheads that need to be extracted. Do I risk ruining the fillers if I extract them myself using a tool? I would need to press firmly against my skin to extract the blackheads.
