Non Surgical Nose Job Questions

Dr. Rivkin,

I'm interested in doing the non surgical nose job.

But I have some concerns:

- My skin/system is so sensitive how can we make sure I won't have any adverse reaction to this material you are injecting?
- After one year when the material goes away, does it leave any residual material on the nose, maybe in the form of tiny bumps? does it leave the skin folded and wrinkly?

hi,
good questions.
1. radiesse is very safe and i have never seen a reaction to it, even though i have done about 1000 nose procedures on people with all kinds of skin. it is made of calcium - the same material that is in bones and teeth, so the body does not react to it.
2. no, when it goes away, there is no bumps or irregularities. i have never seen people come back with wrinkly or loose skin. skin is very resilient - it retracts back on the tissue as the material slowly fades away.

hope that helps
