Clin Plast Surg. 2022 Jan;49(1):191-195. doi: 10.1016/j.cps.2021.08.005. Epub 2021 Oct 9.

Abstract

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty is increasing in popularity, and when used appropriately, can be less costly and have less downtime than surgical rhinoplasty. It can offer patients a means of seeing how they would feel about a surgical rhinoplasty later. Injection can be safe but patients should still be counseled regarding the rare, possible risks of tissue loss and potentially irreversible tissue ischemia and irreversible blindness. Treatment with hyaluronidase can be partially effective when signs and symptoms are caught early; however, avoidance is still the best medicine along with seeking an experienced, qualified rhinoplasty plastic surgeon.
