Dr. Han Xuefeng
Failed hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty injections may result from various factors. Inaccurate injection dosage or improper injection depth can lead to persistent redness and swelling, surface nodules, or irregular protrusions. The use of non-genuine materials may cause the hyaluronic acid to remain unabsorbed, migrate to surrounding areas, or even lead to vascular embolism. Additionally, if the practitioner incorrectly injects the filler into an artery beneath the dermis, causing arterial blockage, it may result in skin necrosis. Therefore, it is crucial to choose a licensed medical facility and an experienced physician for such injections.
