The injectable filler in rhinoplasty: not a complication-free alternative.

CONCLUSIONS: Foreign body reactions are especially prevalent against permanent fillers, particularly silicone, and ideally these should be abandoned. Given that granulomas can also be provoked by temporary and semi-permanent fillers, we would advise restraint in their use, with appropriate vigilance to ensure the early recognition of complications. The increasing popularity of filler rhinoplasty will likely provoke a higher incidence of complications in the future. Intralesional steroid injections can be attempted as a treatment, although surgical resection of these "granulomas" may ultimately be required. PMID: 29553619 [PubMed]
