Can HA filler be used to stretch the nasal tissue & increase healthy collagen and elastin?

September 8, 2024
Asked By:MysteriousWombat in Sanger, California

I had a rhinoplasty that left me with a short and over rotated nose. I now get hyaluronic acid filler to augment my nose's size. I'm curious, can HA filler be used to stretch the nasal tissue and increase healthy collagen and elastin? Or does it actually trigger fibrosis and harm the skin over time? I know that skin is sometimes stretched for surgery using saline--does filler do something similar? Thank you.
