Q. After getting calcium filler, can I have nose surgery...? Should I remove the filler?

Hello. I am Kim Hyeong-taek, the representative director of Kowon Plastic Surgery, pursuing healthy beauty. In this answer note, the question is from someone who wants to have rhinoplasty after getting calcium filler, and is wondering whether the filler should be removed or whether it would be better to wait until it is absorbed.

Q. After getting calcium filler, can I have nose surgery...? Should I remove the filler?

I got Radiesse calcium filler about a year ago.

After that, I decided to go ahead with nose surgery and have been visiting hospitals for consultations, but I was told that in the case of calcium filler, unlike regular fillers, it does not dissolve well even with injections that dissolve filler, so filler removal would need to be done by scraping it out.

One of the hospitals I visited for consultation said that filler alone can already make the skin thinner, and if it is scraped out for removal, the skin will become even thinner, so it would be better to wait one year until it is absorbed and then proceed.

At another place, they said that calcium was not clearly visible on the CT scan, so it seemed possible to dissolve the filler with an injectionㅠ

Would scraping it out for filler removal be very bad? ㅠㅠ

For Ren*tilen, it is not calcium filler, so it can be dissolved with an injection.

But Re*us is calcium filler, so it cannot be dissolved.

First, I think it would be best to find out exactly which injection you received.

In the case of calcium filler, filler removal is done by scraping it out and then performing nose surgery, but in such cases the skin becomes thinner and complete removal is difficult.

Therefore, it is common to remove only part of it while proceeding with nose surgery.

It seems fine to proceed with nose surgery while removing an appropriate amount of filler.

Since it is impossible to remove everything, after surgery you should carefully check whether there are any uneven areas or whether there is any risk of inflammation.

I hope you have a good result.

Thank you.
