How high is the risk of infection if I go for nose fillers after having nasal implant for 9 months

Have utilized microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections on top of synthetic nasal implants for years, and we have thankfully not seen any infections. HA fillers are sugar molecules, and these may be more likely to be associated with an infection. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Dear Denoc,Thank you for your question. Your surgeon is being prudent and responsible when he informed you of the risks of infection. It is true that if you have an infection from a filler injection to a nose with a prior implant, it may lead to implant infection and need for removal. Unfortunately the risk is not related to the amount of filler injected but rather to the sterility of the preparation and the technique. I would not advise injection of fillers into the same space of the implant for these reasons. However, depending on what your needs are, fillers to areas adjacent to the implant may be possible if done accurately. Hope this helps.Best regards,Dr. Terence Goh | Plastic Surgeon | AZATACA Plastic Surgery

Nasal implants can have infections many years later.  Injections of any kind, including facial fillers, can lead to a higher risk of infection with artificial implants.  I typically do not recommend this combination for most patients.  Best Dr. Anil Shah
