Can I get a rhinoplasty if I got acid hyaluronic fillers 1 year ago?

Question

Hi! So I got fillers on my nose on May of last year. They seem to be dissolved since I can see my original nose now but I am just curious and worried. I would like to have a rhinoplasty by the end of June. Thanks!!

It should be no problem to have rhinoplasty now, since it seems that you are back to your baseline. Often times, if any filler is left, it can be seen during rhinoplasty and removed at that time. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty specialist for consultation.

Hello @LeahSbv, Yes you can have a rhinoplasty. Fillers generally have a maximum duration of one year. As it is a compound compatible with our organism For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes!

It is helpful to dissolve the fillers before a rhinoplasty. This makes it easier to assess the amount of change needed. It is especially important in subtle rhinoplasties.

Prior HA filler to the nose should not be a detriment to undergoing a rhinoplasty.  Many times patients do not even report having had this procedure and product is seen during the rhinoplasty.  It should not detract from the final results.

Could you have a Rhinoplasty one year after hyaluronic acid injection? By one year after injection with hyaluronic acid most of the filler is probably dissolved away. If there is any question about residual it can easily be dissolved by injecting hyaluronidase which is the enzyme which dissolves hyaluronic acid in less than 48 hours. I have done this several times on patients who have had previous fillers and are now undergoing rhinoplasty.

Dear. it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
Of course you could have rhinoplasty surgery after filler. However that is a bit more complicated.
