Can I get nose filler if I have Keloid skin?

August 13, 2021
Asked By:Thrifty745084 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I have large keloids behind my ears due to otoplasty, this has been confirmed by a consultant, so I definitely have keloid skin. I also have a much smaller keloid on my chest from acne scarring. I have a hooked nose and have wanted filler for a while, but do not want to risk it if I could develop a keloid on my face. For more context, so far I have not developed face keloids from acne scarring but have on my chest.
