Not if done right: Non-surgical nose reshaping is a wonderful procedure for the right kind of patient. Any risk of complications, which would include blood clots, or skin loss, have to do with improper placement of the material. I agree, no silicone, but other fillers work just fine and give beautiful results in the right hands. Make sure your surgeon is experienced with this technique.
