In some cases where nasal fillers don’t yield the desired results, many people choose to have filler dissolved to remove the filler. However, after the filler dissolves, many wonder how long they can wait before undergoing a nose augmentation procedure to ensure safety and optimal aesthetic results. This article from HBIO Clinic will help you understand the appropriate timeframe and important considerations before a nose augmentation procedure. Let’s take a look.
When is it necessary to dissolve nasal fillers?
Not all filler injections require dissolution. However, doctors usually recommend it in the following situations:
The nose shape after filler injection is not as desired
In some cases, the shape of the nose after injection may be unbalanced, crooked, or not suitable for the face. In this case, filler dissolution injections will help remove the filler material to correct the problem.
Filler clumping or migration
If the filler clumps, shows irregularities, or migrates to a different location, the nose may look unnatural. Dissolving injections can help address this issue before corrective surgery.
Complications may occur after filler injections
Certain abnormal signs such as prolonged swelling and pain, severe bruising, or skin discoloration may indicate complications. In such cases, the doctor may prescribe filler dissolution injections to ensure safety.
Want to get a nose job using a different method
Many people who have had filler injections want to switch to structural rhinoplasty or rhinoplasty using cartilage after some time. In this case, the old filler usually needs to be completely dissolved before performing the new procedure.
How long after filler dissolution can I get a nose job?
After having nasal filler dissolved, you shouldn’t have a nose lift immediately. You need to wait a period of time for the filler to completely dissolve and the nasal tissue to stabilize. Typically, doctors recommend waiting about 2-4 weeks after filler dissolution injections.
During this time, the injected dissolving enzyme will continue to break down the remaining filler structure, and the body will gradually absorb and eliminate the filler. At the same time, the soft tissues in the nasal area also need time to recover, reduce swelling, and return to a stable state before performing a new rhinoplasty procedure.
However, the time it takes after filler dissolution can vary from person to person, depending on several factors such as:
- The amount of filler injected previously: If a large amount of filler is used, the time for complete dissolution may be longer.
- The condition of the nasal tissue: If the nasal area is still swollen, bruised, or unstable, the doctor may advise waiting longer.
- Individual constitution: Each person has a different rate of absorption and recovery.
- The planned rhinoplasty method: For surgical rhinoplasty methods, doctors usually require the nasal tissue to be completely stable before proceeding.
Therefore, to ensure safety and achieve the best aesthetic results, you should consult directly with a specialist doctor at HBIO Clinic to have your nose condition assessed and determine the appropriate time for rhinoplasty.
Why shouldn’t you get a nose job immediately after having the filler dissolved?
Nasal filler dissolution injections are a method used to dissolve previously injected fillers, restoring the nasal area to a near-natural state. However, rhinoplasty immediately after dissolution injections is not recommended due to potential risks affecting aesthetic results and safety.
Nasal tissue is not yet fully stable.
After dissolving the implant, the subcutaneous tissue needs time to recover and stabilize its structure. If rhinoplasty is performed too early, the tissue is still weak and not fully healed, which can lead to inaccurate surgical results or deformation.
Increased risk of infection
The dissolving injection process can cause mild irritation or tissue damage. If surgery is performed immediately afterward, the unhealed nasal area may increase the risk of inflammation, infection, or prolonged swelling.
Difficulty accurately assessing the true nasal structure
After dissolving the implant, the tissue may still be slightly swollen or not fully stable. This makes it difficult for the doctor to accurately assess the true shape of the nose, thus affecting the design of a suitable nose shape.
Affects the final aesthetic result
When the tissue base is not yet stable, placing cartilage or adjusting the nasal structure may not be highly accurate, leading to unnatural or unsustainable results over time.
It takes time for the body to adapt.
After filler dissolution injections, the body needs time to completely eliminate the old filler and restore tissue balance. Intervening too soon can increase the risk of complications or require revisions later.
Are there any problems with getting a nose job too early?
Undergoing rhinoplasty too early generally refers to performing the procedure when the body, particularly the nasal and facial bone structures, has not yet fully developed or when overall health is not yet suitable for cosmetic surgery. In these cases, rhinoplasty can carry many risks affecting both aesthetics and long-term health.
Unstable cosmetic results
During the body’s development, the bone structure and soft tissues of the face continue to change over time. This means that the shape of the nose after rhinoplasty may not remain stable in the long term, easily becoming crooked, unbalanced, or no longer harmonious with the overall facial features as the body matures.
Risk of needing multiple revisions
As facial features continue to change, the initial results may no longer be suitable, leading to the need for revision surgery. This not only increases costs but also carries more medical risks than the first surgery.
Affects the natural structure of the nose
Interfering with the nose before the cartilage and tissues have fully developed can affect its natural structure. Over time, this can make the nose weaker, more prone to deformation, or less durable and stable.
Increased risk of surgical complications
Any cosmetic surgery carries risks, and when performed too early, the risks can be higher. Some common complications include infection, deviated nasal septum, fluid accumulation, prolonged swelling, or unsightly scarring, affecting both aesthetics and health.
Psychological impact
Beyond physical factors, prematurely changing one’s appearance without careful consideration can lead to unrealistic expectations. Some individuals may feel dissatisfied after surgery or anxious if the long-term results are not as expected.
Advice from a Thai doctor after nasal filler dissolution injection
Based on experience in implementing and monitoring numerous cases at HBIO Clinic, Dr. Thai has provided some important recommendations for clients after nasal filler dissolution injections to ensure safety and minimize risks when they need to redo their nose shape.
It takes time for the nasal tissue to fully recover.
According to Dr. Thai, after filler dissolution injections, the subcutaneous tissue needs a certain amount of time to stabilize its natural structure. Rushing to perform a rhinoplasty at this time can lead to inaccurate and less sustainable results.
Avoid premature cosmetic procedures.
From handling many cases, the doctor has observed that cases where rhinoplasty is performed too early often have a risk of prolonged swelling, unstable tissue, and difficulty achieving the desired nose shape.
Carefully monitor post-injection reactions.
Some reactions such as mild swelling, tightness, or bruising may appear in the initial period. This is normal, however, close monitoring is necessary to promptly address any abnormal signs.
Nasal Care and Hygiene
Keeping the nasal area clean and free from dust and bacteria helps reduce the risk of infection. You should also follow the post-injection care instructions given by your doctor.
Consultation with a Doctor Before Rhinoplasty
Before deciding on rhinoplasty after filler dissolution, you should consult directly with a specialist. The doctor will assess the condition of the nasal tissue and advise on the appropriate time to perform the rhinoplasty safely.
In short, filler dissolution is a necessary step in many cases when the nose shape after injection does not achieve the desired results or when you want to switch to another rhinoplasty method. However, to ensure safety and achieve good aesthetic results, you need to wait long enough for the filler to completely dissolve and the nasal tissue to stabilize before undergoing rhinoplasty. Typically, the appropriate time is about 2-4 weeks, but a specific examination and assessment by a doctor is still required.
If you are considering rhinoplasty after filler dissolution, choosing a reputable aesthetic clinic and a qualified doctor is crucial. At HBIO Clinic, clients will receive a thorough examination and assessment of their nasal condition, along with consultation on the most suitable method to ensure safety, a natural look, and harmony with their face.
