Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

I wrote this post to answer some of the questions many of you have been curious about.

Q. While applying ointment inside my nose, I felt like the implant was moving. Could this change the shape of my nose?

A. In most cases, during nasal surgery, the implant is fixed by suturing it to the surrounding cartilage, so it does not move easily.

Also, when tissue is dissected during nasal surgery, it is often only dissected enough to accommodate the implant, so there is not much room for movement.

Of course, if strong physical force is applied, even a normal nose can be injured, and a surgically altered nose can be deformed.

However, the force used when applying ointment does not seem strong enough to break the sutures holding the implant in place.

Even if the implant feels like it is being pushed for a moment when using a cotton swab, if it is fixed well, it does not seem likely that major deformity will occur.

In addition, as time passes, adhesion occurs with the surrounding tissues, making it even harder for the implant to move.

The condition may vary depending on the surgical method and timing, so it would be best to consult the hospital where you had the surgery for a follow-up evaluation.

But based on the basic principle, deformity does not happen easily, so you do not need to worry too much.
