Interested in non-surgical rhinoplasty, however, I've heard on some accounts that it has caused blindness in patients and now I'm having second thoughts. How accurate is that information? Is it worth the risk? Thank you in advance.

Answer: Complications following non surgical rhinoplasty Non surgical rhinoplasty when performed by an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon is extremely safe and without complications. Experienced rhinoplasty surgeons are aware of the vascular anatomy of the nasal dorsum, nasal tip, and columella and do not try to push the envelope. Having said that, all of the potential complications that you have read about are real and have occurred as there are many inexperienced individuals injecting an area that they have no experience in.

Answer: Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty Hi,There have been some reports of blindness from injections around the nasal bridge area. However, this risk is very low if the injector is experienced and knows how to inject the area around the nose. Risk of blindness for bridge elevation with fillers for non-surgical rhinoplasty is almost zero if performed correctly.Best,Dr.S.
