Injection Needle Got Lodged In The Nose While Filling Procedure, Surgeon Did Not Remove It As It Would Leave A Scar. What Should Be Done?
Hi. Yestderday I had filler in my nose . During the procedures injection needle about 1 cm was lodged in my bridge of nose because neddle was broken. Cometic surgen was not albe to remove the needle from my nose. I transfered to public hospital and took an X-ray on my nose. I saw the needle in my nose TT. Plastic Surgen stated that I have to live with it because If he cut my side of nose i will have a big scar . What should I do ?

Hi, Aussie.
Thanks for query.
What I think is that piece of needle is to be removed.
If needle remains in the nose body will try to remove as it is a foreign body.
Due to irritation there might be swelling and infection over that part is likely.
So it is better to be removed.
ok and bye.
