Will Restalyne filler cause long-term damage to nasal cartilage/tissue?

Question

About two weeks ago, I decided to try Restalyne filler to correct a minor flaw in my upper nose bridge after revision rhinoplasty a year ago. Though my target area was small, the nurse also put a small amount of filler around my lower tip and supra-tip break. I have had no side effects, but worry about the consequences. Will Restalyne filler (and its dissolving agent) cause any potential longer-term damage to the cartilage and tissues in my nose? Thank you for help and time.

No, this won't negatively impact your nasal tissue. If you're unhappy with your final results, the Restylane can be reversed with hyaluronidase. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. No, Restylane will not have a long-term effect on your cartilage. Restylane in the nose can last up to a year. As Restylane is hyaluronic acid filler it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if unhappy with the results. I recommend having a follow up with your injector to address any concerns you may have. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your interesting question. Restylane is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler which is essentially a carbohydrate or sugar.  It will not injure the cartilage and can last up to a year when injected into the nose. If you have any questions regarding your aesthetic results,  I recommend that you follow up with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes,  Richard Wellington Swift,  M.D., F.A.C.S.

Restylane should have absolutely no long term effects on your cartilage. Restylane takes six to nine months to completely dissolve. If you don't like it you can dissolve it with Hyaluronidase.  Please consult an expert in Restylane cosmetic injections for the best cosmetic results.  Best, Dr. Green

Restylane will have no effect at all on the nasal cartilage so no worry. the benefit will gradually wear off and there should be no problem
