Injecting fillers into the nose is considered risky because the nasal blood vessels connect with the arteries of the retina. In rare cases, this can lead to serious complications, including blindness.
The effectiveness of the procedure is also debatable. Fillers always add volume, while most patients seek to make their nose smaller rather than larger.
If you have had fillers injected into your nose (even years ago), you must inform your surgeon. Ideally, hyaluronic acid should be dissolved before surgery.
That said, hyaluronic acid injections can be useful after rhinoplasty. In some cases, this is the best way to correct minor irregularities, fill in small defects, and achieve better symmetry.
