Based on your photos, you may have visible filler at the root of your nose. If that is the case, please consult with your doctor about receiving the dissolving enzyme to restore a more natural appearing nasal frontal angle. Wishing you were moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hi, milku12. In cosmetic dermatology, nose filler migration is always a potential concern that can happen over time as the filler material gradually settles or moves within the tissues. 
After examining the images you provided, it does seem that some migration might have occurred.

Now, whether or not you should dissolve the filler depends on how you feel about the current appearance. If the migration is causing you discomfort or affecting your confidence, dissolving the filler could be a viable option. A simple dissolving procedure can be performed by a qualified dermatologist or cosmetic professional to reverse the effects of the filler.

On the other hand, if you are generally satisfied with the results and the migration is minimal, you may choose to leave it as is. Many individuals find that the natural settling of filler creates a harmonious and appealing look.

I also suggest reading up on what type of filler is best for a specific procedure if you intend to get more fillers in the future.
