Want filler along the sides of nose, injector said he can inject the midline and “push” it to the sides. Is this risky?

Asked By:blipintime in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I have had filler injected along the sides of my nasal bridge to purposefully widen it before and loved the appearance. This was years ago before the risks were well known. My current injector says he can place filler along the midline using a needle, then massage it immediately outward to the sides of the nose. Does this massaging put me at higher risk for complications or occlusion? Does the g prime level of the product also factor in? Any areas to avoid massaging?
