Is it safe to inject fillers near a nose implant? Hoping to correct asymmetry

Question

I had primary rhinoplasty many years ago which involved placement of a synthetic medpor implant to augment the nose bridge. However I have been unhappy with the shape of the implant. Although it feels to be placed centrally, it is slightly higher on one side and therefore gives the upper part of my nose bridge a slight, although noticeable, asymmetrical appearance. To avoid another surgery, would it be safe to use fillers near a nose implant to correct the asymmetry?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

We do not endorse the use of temporary gel fillers in the nose after rhinoplasty surgery since there is a possibility of vascular occlusion and necrosis. Our practice, we utilize microdroplet Silikon-1000 to correct nasal irregularities after the previous surgery. We have used this near grafts like yours without incident. Silikon-1000 is safer since the size of a molecule is smaller than a red blood cell and Vascular occlusion is not seen. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
