Skin, laser and injectable aesthetics · nasal injectable safety · the non-surgical route
Dr. Ke He is Deputy Director of the Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Medical Center at Chongqing West District Hospital and head of its skin and laser aesthetic service — and she is the lead physician of this site. A core specialist formerly at the Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery Department of Xinqiao Hospital, affiliated with Army Medical University, she has worked on the clinical front line in skin laser and injectable aesthetics for more than 20 years, serving over ten thousand patients.
The nose is the area where an injectable carries its most serious risk, and Dr. He’s position is that this is a reason for a stricter assessment rather than for refusing the treatment. She assesses the airway question first, establishes whether the problem is one of volume or of structure, and declines to inject a nose that needs to be smaller, because no amount of material makes a nose smaller. Where injection is appropriate she plans for the possibility of a vascular problem, keeps the means to dissolve the material available, and tells the patient what to look for afterwards. She also says plainly what is not known about volume added to the same nose repeatedly over years.

The nose is not a cheek
Material placed in the nose sits in an area with a blood supply that communicates with the skin and, in the rarest cases, with the eye. That does not make nasal filler unreasonable; it makes it a treatment that belongs with an injector who assesses it as carefully as an operation, and who can dissolve what has been placed.
