Dermatologist Shereene Idriss explains why nose filler is risky: vascular occlusion can kill tissue, and there's a rare chance of blindness. Even experienced injectors see more complications as they do more procedures. She argues the nose is one of the most dangerous facial areas for filler.

The nose is one of the most dangerous areas of your face. And yes, even under a skilled hand, the more people you inject, the more complications you are going to come across. And the nose is not an area that should be taken lightly. Not only can it lead to vascular occlusion, meaning your tissue, the skin on your nose, can die off and look like this, but it can also lead to potential blindness, which is a risk, but a risk nonetheless. Last, this is obviously subjective, I thought her nose before was beautiful.
