Nasal necrosis is one of the cases that may occur after injecting filler into the nose.
This problem occurs when the doctor does not know the anatomy of the face and the main arteries.
As a result, the filler enters the blood vessels, blocking blood flow.

Many non-specialist physicians inject fillers into the nose without examining the blood vessels, which can clog the arteries and cause necrosis of the skin on the nose.
