So I’m getting a rhinoplasty next month, and I’ve gotten a bit of filler in my nose in the past. I got it to fill in the top of my nose so my nose wouldn’t look like I had hump, some of it has gone down by now but my nose doesn’t look as bad as it did without any filler. So I’m guessing their might still be some remaining filler. My question is will the remaining bit of filler I have left affect the results of my rhinoplasty ? when he opens my nose will he see it and be able to just remove it ?

Answer: Filler and Rhinoplasty Good Afternoon, Giselle! During rhinoplasty, if filler is still present, it can be removed. Having it all gone prior to surgery will help to determine exactly what deficits need to be corrected. You can consider having the filler dissolved so the surgeon can see your unrefined nose. As for it affecting the outcome, it doesn't always. I have seen cases, though, where filler can cause scarring or compromise of healing in the skin. It's important to let your surgeon know you've had filler so the planning can be accurate. Hope this helps!

Answer: Filler and rhinoplasty Most of the filler material can be seen and removed during open rhinoplasty. However, in some cases filler may be encircled with a scar tissue, and it may require more aggressive removal. This needs to be discussed with your surgeon ahead of surgery. Good luck.
