Question

Hi!!! 3 days ago I had filler injected to my nose to make my nose straight and hide the bump!!! He injected filler into two areas ( top and bottom of my nose) and I loved the result but now 3 days later the bump is coming back!!! What can I do? When can I add a little more filler and why have the results changed? Please help!! I am attaching a picture of my nose before and after the filler and one picture now 3 days later

John Layke, DO, FACS · Answer

Generally, it is acceptable to add further filler 1 week after the initial injections, leaving more than enough time for any swelling to subside.  This is common as sometimes the nose appears to be improved aesthetically, only to find out that it was swelling, and not the actual filler itself.  Best wishes!

Donald B. Yoo, MD, FACS · Answer

After nonsurgical rhinoplasty there is always a period of initial swelling (typically 3-4 days) followed by resolution of the swelling.  Once the filler has had a chance to fully "settle" (~2 weeks) this is an appropriate time to go for a touch-up if necessary.

It looks like you need a little bit more filler. The beauty of non-surgical procedures is that you can add a little bit at a time until you have achieved the desired effect. I generally suggest waiting two weeks for the swelling to go down, and then having a little bit more filler added. A consultation is always necessary to give you definitive recommendations on how to improve the contour of your nose.
