I'm interested in Asian rhinoplasty, but I have filler in my nose and have read that I need to dissolve before undergoing the procedure. Is that something the operating doctor can do for me the day of or does it need to be done months in advance? And if I do get it, what if I'm only able to successfully dissolve 60-75% of it? Will that prevent me from getting the procedure done?

Answer: Dissolve filler before rhinoplasty it is probably in your best interest to dissolve at least 50% of the filler that you have in your nose from Liquid Rhinoplasty prior to a traditional surgical rhinoplasty. The reason for this is that once the filler wears off after a surgical procedure, your nose shape may change and be different than what you expect. The filler should be dissolved approximately 30 days or more before the day of your surgery.

Answer: Filler Dissolution Before Rhinoplasty Hello, hope you are well. Every case is unique, but I generally advise dissolving filler 2 weeks prior to rhinoplasty. I think this is especially important for dorsal augmentation, because I want to see the natural structure of the nose before I start to work on it. Rest assured we deal with these issues all the time, and having filler in your nose should not be a big obstacle that would prevent you from having surgery. Sometimes, if enough time passes, it's not necessary to dissolve filler at all because HA fillers dissipate naturally. Best,Dr. Tower
