Most clients can return to work and normal activities on the same day.

Clients seeking permanent structural changes should consult a qualified facial plastic or plastic surgeon about surgical rhinoplasty.

Contact your injector immediately if you experience:

  • Severe, unusual or increasing pain
  • Pale, white, gray or mottled skin
  • Dusky or unusual discoloration
  • Skin that feels unusually cool
  • Blistering
  • Increasing swelling
  • Any blurred vision, loss of vision or other visual disturbance
