I got restalyne injected into the bridge of my nose as well as my tip as well as around it. I have an open rhinoplasty scheduled for February 3rd. My doctor said he doesn't want to dissolve it a month prior because it is an active agent and he doesn't feel it would be the best thing. He said he can remove the filler while my nose is open.
