Is Radiesse or Any Other Dermal Filler for the Nose Safe if I Have Allergic Rhinitis?

Radiesse or any dermal filler is safe for injection rhinoplasty in the setting of rhinitis. They really should not have an impact. 

Injection rhinoplasty takes a lot of skill and your injector should have a lot of experience with both rhinoplasty and injectable fillers to give you the best result and avoid complications. 

Radiesse has a very good safety profile and I would not suspect that it will interfere with your allergic rhinitis.  An excellent choice for the nose.

Hi D,   Radiesse and other fillers are safe to use in patients who have allergic rhinitis (as long as you are not allergic to the filler which is extremely rare).  Good luck and be well.  Dr. P

It is safe to have Radiesese if you have seasonal allergies, or allergic rhinitis. The product is placed under the skin and on top of the bone/cartilage. Consultation with  your injecting MD is important to evaluate where and how much product would be needed to correct your nose.

 

Your allergies and sniffles would have no relevance in terms of injection of dermal fillers to correct a  nasal deformity.  See a board certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you not only for the use of fillers but to examine your nose to determine whether the underlying condition warrants surgical correction.

For a slightly crooked nose, Radiesse or any other dermal filler should work well. It will be placed over the bones or cartilage. If injected properly and expertly, you should not need to worry about any reactions with your allergic rhinitis.

While it is generally ok to have dermal fillers placed even with allergic rhinitis, it depends on the type of filler and where it will be placed in the nose.  Fillers in the nose have to be very carefully placed by an experienced injector in the nose to avoid potential complications.  Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who can help you achieve the results you seek.

It is safe to have filler injected into your nose to correct nasal defects if also having allergic rhinitis. I recommend consulting with a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon experienced in treating nasal defects with injectable filler.

It should be.  Aside from an allergy to the material of the injectable itself (all of which are rare) it should be safe to have an injection such as you're describing.  The most cautious approach would be to use a HA, which can be reversed or lessened using hyalurionidase in case you're not happy with the result.  Radiesse lasts noticeably longer than an HA and is also not "reversible" so if there's any question, try the HA to make sure you like it, and then you can proceed with the Radiesse.

I hope that this helps and good luck,

Radiesse® should cause no further problem with allergic rhinitis when used to correct your slightly crooked nose. However, whomever injects it needs to be careful not to cause a change in the internal anatomy of the nose as this can cause other breathing problems.
