Q. My nose tip drooped a year after surgery. Can I get fillers?

Hello!

I have prepared a brief session to explain a topic that many of you might be curious about. ^^

Q) My nose tip drooped a year after surgery. Can I get fillers?

A) Hello, I am Dr. Yoo Young-moon, the representative director of VIBE Plastic Surgery, presenting ‘1-Minute Plastic Surgery’.

Today’s question is: ‘My nose tip drooped a year after surgery. Can I get fillers?’ To give you the conclusion first, I do not recommend it.

When performing a filler procedure, some of the resident bacteria present on the skin surface can enter the skin. Before surgery, when there is nothing inside, these resident bacteria do not cause any issues. However, they can multiply around a surgical implant, causing inflammation. This can eventually lead to the formation of a capsule and serious problems such as contracture.

Furthermore, filler procedures can be even more dangerous in the case of the nose tip. In an environment where blood circulation at the tip of the nose has already changed after surgery, adding filler can further compress the blood vessels, potentially leading to severe issues such as skin necrosis.

Therefore, I recommend that you avoid getting fillers after surgery as much as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

My nose tip has drooped a year after nose tip surgery. Can I get fillers?

No, it is not recommended. This is because during filler procedures, normal skin flora can proliferate around the implant, leading to serious problems such as inflammation or contracture.

Why is filler injection dangerous after nose tip surgery?

There are two main risks. First, normal flora can cause inflammation and contracture around the implant. Second, in the altered blood circulation environment after surgery, fillers can compress blood vessels, leading to serious problems such as skin necrosis.

What serious side effects can occur with nose tip filler injections?

Inflammation, contracture due to capsule formation, and skin necrosis can occur. Especially in the nose tip, the risk of skin necrosis is higher due to severe blood vessel compression caused by changes in blood circulation.

Is there a special reason to avoid filler injections after nose tip surgery?

Yes, after nose tip surgery, the blood circulation environment changes, greatly increasing the risk of fillers compressing blood vessels. This can lead to serious problems such as skin necrosis, so it is best to avoid the procedure if possible.

How does normal flora affect nose tip filler injections?

During filler procedures, some of the normal flora on the skin surface can enter the skin and proliferate around the implant. This can cause inflammation and capsule formation, leading to serious problems such as contracture.
