Filler migration in this area isn't a problem that is commonly encountered, but it is possible that nose fillers placed at the bridge may spread laterally and make the nose look wider over time. Filler migration is usually the result of over-treating, poor technique, and incorrect product choice.
There'll be little to no pain during the treatment, but there may be redness, bruising, swelling or tenderness around the area afterwards. Feeling slightly uncomfortable after treatment is normal. Symptoms will clear within a few days, but we'd advise you not to itch, rub, or pick around the nose.
FDA warnings about unapproved fillers
Using injectable filler for large-scale body contouring or body enhancement can lead to serious injury, including long-term pain, infection, permanent scarring or disfigurement, and even death.
Over time, as facial movement increases in areas like the lips or cheeks, it causes the filler to break down and dissolve at a quicker rate. This makes the filler disappear faster in more active areas of the face.
As well as stretching of the skin, excessive use of fillers can result in longer term damage including wrinkling of the lip and disturbance of the attachment of the facial fat pads and some degree of irregularity and ageing of the skin, he explains.
Fillers can be a safe, minimally invasive treatment to add facial volume and enhance your natural beauty. However, they are not without risk. For example, the potential dangers of nose fillers are necrosis (tissue death), permanent scarring, and damage to vision including blindness.
All dermal fillers eventually fade, so the results of a non-surgical nose job are temporary. With that being said, some patients can experience results that last for up to three years. Note that your results will vary, and will depend on your goals, as well as the type and amount of product used.
Dermatologists should be aware that dermal fillers, including HA fillers, can migrate to locations distant from the original injection sites.
Nose filler lasts for 12-18 months, but if you get repeat treatments, you can get a longer-lasting result just with filler top-ups. Because the nose area is a low-movement area of the face (as compared to, say, the mouth or eyes), dermal filler injections tend to last longer than other areas.
While it is possible for fillers to migrate, this side effect is extremely rare and can be avoided by choosing a qualified injector. Though filler migration is very uncommon, its likelihood increases when fillers are performed by an inexperienced or underqualified injector.
Branches of the infraorbital artery anastomosing with the dorsal nasal branch, facial artery and transverse artery which can all lead to complications to the nose and eyes of occluded or constricted. This is a no-go zone at the level of periosteum. Avoid deep bolus injections.
Hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dermal fillers, like Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Belotero®, naturally dissolve over time depending on the treatment area, the amount injected, and the patient's metabolism (for men, it will likely dissolve faster).
It is normal to experience some slight discomfort, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites after your non-surgical nose job. These symptoms typically resolve in 2 weeks after your non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure.
When someone is receiving too much treatment with anti-wrinkle injections, the skin can become extremely smooth and the light bounces off in a uniform way. So, the skin appears shiny, which is why it can look 'frozen'.
“It is possible to dissolve filler if you wanted to reverse the results, but you don't want to do that unless it really is an issue,” says Dr Soni.
The areas of filler injection in nonsurgical rhinoplasty have the potential to affect supratrochlear, infratrochlear, supraorbital, and anterior ethomoidal nerves. Compression of these structures, especially the supratrochlear nerve, can lead to migraine symptoms.
Be gentle with your skin, and don't scrub or push on your face during your skincare routine. When you move and poke fillers, they will break down faster, so the more delicate you are with your fillers, the longer they will last.
Using too much dermal filler can distort your face, make it look asymmetric and aesthetically out of balance, and in some cases, it can even make you look older than you actually are.
Excessive use of fillers distorts natural face features, causing an aged appearance. When the face becomes distorted this makes you look unnatural. And an unnatural look will make you look disproportioned. A hallmark of beauty is proportions.
Most experts agree that patients in their mid to late twenties and thirties are at a great age to start treatments. By injecting the muscles that typically cause wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and eyebrows before they start developing, you are preventing them before they happen.
