My Nose Looks Larger After Dermal Filler of Nasolabial Folds

November 13, 2008
Asked By:karenl in Los Angeles, CA

I had injections of various substances over the last 4 years into my nasolabial folds (first Radiesse, then Restylane, then Juvederm). After the first procedure, I noticed my nose looked larger--both at the end and across the bridge. I thought it could be an optical illusion considering the other changes that happen when you treat the nasolabial folds, but it appears very obvious after I did comparisons of before and after pictures. Is there a way to correct or decrease this "swelling"? Can it be dissolved?
