Hello.
On a special day like no other,
this is April 31 Plastic Surgery.
When performing nose surgery, silicone implants are
very commonly used.
That is why we come across
various patient cases related to silicone.
Among them, especially
"I can see the silicone clearly!"
is something we hear quite often.
After nose surgery, is visible silicone
really okay?
Let's find out with
April 31's #ChiefDirectorKimJaehoon!

#NoseSurgerySilicone use has
one of the highest numbers of cases
among implants, and because of that
there are many different reviews and experiences.
Typical examples include
#SiliconeVisibility
#SiliconeProtrusion
#SiliconeMovement
and so on.

Q. After nose surgery, the silicone
is visible at the tip of my nose!
Is that okay?
A. It depends on the situation,
but whether it is judged acceptable
varies depending on the shape and the degree of visibility.
A precise diagnosis must be confirmed
by visiting the clinic.

When inserting a silicone implant,
it is recommended to reconstruct the tip of the nose with cartilage
and use it mainly for the bridge of the nose.

However, in this patient's case,
the silicone has descended all the way to the tip of the nose
and settled there,
so it is natural that the silicone
would be visible at the tip of the nose.

That said, based on the silicone silhouette,
it does not appear to be a severely problematic shape,
so revision surgery or correction is not needed right away.

If the area at the tip of the nose where the silicone is visible
becomes thinner and starts to look pinched,
and that condition worsens,
then it is necessary to visit the clinic
for a detailed examination.
