I had a non-surgical nose job with radiesse around 14 months ago. I'm now considering a surgical rhinoplasty. Can I still undergo surgery with some radiesse/filler scar tissue in my nose? Can the radiesse be surgically removed during the procedure? Alternatively, do I have to wait until all the filler has dissolved? If so, how will I know when my nose is able to undergo surgery?
