Hello~

💎your beauty universe! I am Dr. Shim Jung-hwan, Director of Uber Plastic Surgery :)💎

In winter, the number of people getting nose surgery tends to increase.

The nose is located in the center of the face and greatly influences your overall impression,

so it is important to create a nose that harmonizes with your face.

​

However, you may have also heard stories about potential side effects.

​

Side effects of rhinoplasty can include implant visibility or capsular contracture.

Besides these, you might have also heard of cases where the silicone implant protrudes outside the nose.

​

Today, we will look into the causes of a silicone implant protruding from the nose.

​

In what cases does a silicone implant protrude from the nose?

Because the nasal tip is a mobile area, if the silicone implant extends all the way to the tip,

the skin or inner mucosa can thin out over time, causing the silicone to pierce through and protrude.

​

If side effects occur after rhinoplasty, they can be resolved with revision surgery. However, performing revision surgery when the skin tissue is already damaged

is highly difficult, so it is crucial to achieve good results during your first rhinoplasty.

Since the outcome of rhinoplasty depends on the medical staff's know-how and experience, we highly recommend

getting your surgery from an experienced and skilled specialist.

​

Today, we discussed the cases where a nasal silicone implant protrudes.

​

We will return next time with even more informative content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does silicone protrude after nose surgery?

This happens because the silicone was inserted too forcefully all the way to the tip of the nose. The nasal tip is a highly mobile area, and if an implant is inserted all the way to the end, the skin or inner mucous membrane can thin over time, eventually causing the silicone to penetrate the skin and protrude.

Can a protruding nasal silicone be fixed with revision surgery?

Yes, it can be resolved through revision nose surgery. However, since the skin and internal tissues of the nose are already damaged due to the silicone protrusion, the surgical difficulty is much higher compared to the first surgery. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis from an experienced specialist is necessary.

How can I prevent side effects from nose surgery?

It is most important to undergo a safe and conservative surgery during your first rhinoplasty. The results of nose surgery can vary greatly depending on the medical team's know-how and experience, so you should have surgery performed by a specialist who has a good understanding of the nose's anatomical structure and extensive clinical experience.

What other side effects can occur during nose surgery?

Typical side effects include implant visibility or contracture. The outline of the implant may become visible as the skin thins, or symptoms of a contracted nose, where the nasal tip pulls upward, may appear, so thorough consultation with a specialist before surgery is essential.
