As a common cosmetic procedure, nose augmentation through injection offers noticeable results but also carries certain side effects.
1. There is a risk of wound infection during the injection process, usually caused by inadequate sterilization of surgical instruments or improper post-operative care.
2. Due to the dense distribution of nerves around the nose, non-standard surgical techniques may lead to nerve damage.
3. Over-injection or material rejection may cause adverse reactions such as local redness, bruising, and swelling. In cases of severe over-injection, surgical removal of the injected substance may be required.
4. The effects of injectable nose augmentation are not long-lasting and require regular re-injections to maintain the desired outcome.
When considering injectable nose augmentation, it is essential to choose qualified medical facilities and experienced physicians to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
