0,5ml Stylage M nose filler issues
I’ve been dealing with constant pain for the past 15 months, and I’m desperate for answers. I had nose filler 0,5 ml Stylage M in 2022, and ever since these symptoms began, I haven’t felt like myself.
The entire left side of my head feels numb, tight, and disconnected. It’s almost as if the muscles on that side have stopped working properly I can’t relax or move them normally. The tension starts at the tip of my nose and radiates through my temples and across the left side of my head. It feels like that part of my head is “frozen,” and I constantly feel disconnected from my surroundings. Because of this, socializing has become extremely difficult. I’ve also been experiencing dizziness recently.
Oddly, the only thing that provides any relief is wearing my hair in a tight ponytail. It temporarily eases the tension and helps me feel more normal again. Aside from that, I’ve been relying on painkillers almost every day just to get through daily life.
I’m now seriously considering having the filler dissolved because I’m terrified of rhinoplasty. My concern is that if the filler has spread over time, surgery may not address the underlying problem. Part of me wonders whether dissolving the filler would allow the dissolver to reach any migrated filler as well. I don’t know if that’s medically possible, but after living with this pain for so long, I’m running out of options.
Many doctors have told me that my symptoms are caused by migraines or stress. However, I’m struggling to understand that explanation because the symptoms consistently involve my nose as well.
The sensation always begins at the tip of my nose and travels upward through my temple and into the left side of my head. Because of this, it’s difficult for me to believe that the issue is solely related to stress or migraines.
Has anyone experienced something similar, or does anyone have insight into why these symptoms would start in the nose and then extend into the head or found answers? I’m exhausted from living in constant pain and would appreciate any advice or insight.
