I don’t remember what type of filler it was, but it was done going on nine years ago. My primary concern is left me with a large bump underneath one nostril which has affected my smile. I considered removing it on its own but I read it required surgery anyway, but I wasn’t sure if it needed to be done separately or if that can be a part of the nose job.
Answer: Can permanent filler in nose be removed during rhinoplasty? Hello and thank you for this question about your permanent dermal fillers. Dermal fillers, even permanent ones, can be removed, but the process can be complex based on the type, location, quantity, and condition of the filler you have. An experienced board certified facial plastic surgeon can provide you with specific recommendations based on an in-person examination. If you plan to have a rhinoplasty procedure to address other concerns, removal of the filler can be addressed at that time. I hope this information helps you. Good luck with your procedures! - Jacqueline T. Cheng, MD

Answer: Fillers and rhinoplasty Ayshanasser-Thanks for your question. As more and more non-surgeons use fillers, especially in the nose, more and more patients are likely to have similar concerns. Even when a new filler should dissolve over time.In your case, the area in question can likely be removed on its own, or via an approach used for a rhinoplasty procedure. However, the extent to which this is necessary, the placement of scars, and the extent of what needs to be removed is difficult to address without pictures or an exam. I would invite you to schedule an in-person consultation with a board certified rhinoplasty surgeon to see what options are best suited to your unique situation. If you are in San Antonio, I would be happy to meet with you.Best wishes.
