I have developed a bump in the bridge of my nose after a nose filler a week later. Could I have a reversal?

Question

I had a non surgical nose filler in last week just to even out rhe bridge of my nose. However as the swelling has gone down my nose has developed a bump on the bridge would I be able to have a reversal?

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your
question.I would recommend waiting at least two weeks for all of the swelling to go down, then follow up with the provider who performed your injections to discuss any concerns you may have at that time. Hyaluronic acid based fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase injections. Be sure to know exactly what type of filler was used, because only hyaluronic acid based fillers will dissolve. To be sure what is best, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.

I hope this helps.

this simple answer to your question is that it depends on which filler was injected.  Hyaluronic acid fillers such as juvederm (including voluma), restylane, perlane, and Belotero,may be reversed.  I would follow-up with the person who provided your injections and discuss treatment options with your injector.  This is a tricky area to inject.

David W. Rodwell III, MD · Answer

Filler placement in the nose is very tricky to consistently do well.  For the injector, being able to see through the swelling and anticipate the end result is a key skill, and it really has more to do with an artistic eye than anything else.  Conservative technique is also important.  It is much better to do a touch up or two to add some additional filler where needed instead of overfilling on the front end.You have a few options for making some adjustments when a filler was recently placed in the nose.The most important first step is a close examination to determine the exact cause for the appearance that bothers you.  The simple explanation is that there is too much filler in one spot as you suggested, but it's possible that you might benefit from a little more filler added just below or above that area.  Only an in person examination can give you that answer.If a hyaluronic acid filler was used (Juvederm, Restylane, etc), then it can be dissolved with an injection of a medication called hyaluronidase.Radiesse is a different type of temporary filler that cannot be reversed.  I actually prefer Radiesse if using a temporary filler because of its consistency, but you just need to have very good technique when injecting.See your surgeon again soon.  He or she will have the best insight into how to improve your look at this point.

Fillers can be reversed depending on the type with hyaluronidase. this should be easy to perform by your treating physician.  Best, Dr. Emer.

John Layke, DO, FACS · Answer

If your nonsurgical rhinoplasty was performed with a hyaluronic acid, then you will be able to reverse the changes with hyaluronidase.  Relay your concern with your surgeon who will be able to administer the reversal agent.  Best wishes!
