3 months after nonsurgical nose job, nose is still red - should I be concerned about possible necrosis? (photos)

I had a nonsurgical nose job (filler) 2-3 mo ago. The tip of my nose has been red ever since the procedure and I am concerned because it is not improving at all. I can see some little darkened capillaries and am also nervous about a little dark spot I saw today. If this were a serious complication leading to necrosis would it have happened already and now it's just cosmetic? Or should I go get it dissolved? The injector said sometimes redness takes forever to resolve but I'm concerned.

Generally, one up close photo makes it difficult to render an opinion. If you feel like you have an indentation along your right tip that is deeper than your left tip, and if you're just looking to improve upon symmetry, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered depending upon your...

Hello and thank you for your question! Unfortunately even though non-surgical nosejobs are popular, they are ALMOST ALWAYS done on patients who are poor candidates for it, and who would have much better results with a proper surgical rhinoplasty. For your nose, with the wider nasal bridge, small...

When patients have visited us with ha products in their noses, we have seen unbelievable results within 24 hours of Patients receiving a dissolving enzyme. Since you are not seeing a desired result, perhaps it's the filler or the enzyme or something else. Please consider re-asking your question...

When thread lifting was first introduced, I was enthusiastic about perhaps using it for nasal applications. In my opinion, the strength of the threads is not adequate to gain significant nasal tip lifting. Additionally, I doubt it would last long if at all. Thank you for your question....
