Q. After nose surgery, I developed silicone side effects. If the silicone is removed, will my nose become lower again?

Hello, this is Director Seo Chan-eol of AB Plastic Surgery.

I will answer the questions you have been wondering about.

Q. After nose surgery, I developed silicone side effects. If the silicone is removed, will my nose become lower again?

A. When it is used as a nose bridge implant, the space that the silicone was filling disappears when it is removed, so the bridge area in particular becomes lower again.

And if a problem has occurred, the capsule surrounding the silicone implant

thickens due to an inflammatory reaction, so in many cases it may look flatter than before even after it has become lower.

In many cases, the tip of the nose is not removed if it remains intact, but if it has been eroded by an inflammatory reaction, removal is necessary. If it is removed, the tip of the nose will also become shorter and lower than before.

It may be a difficult time, but in order to create a beautiful nose again, the inflammatory reaction must subside and the internal tissue must heal and become sufficiently stable.

I hope this answer was helpful.

If you have any other questions, please leave them in the comments and I will answer them.

Thank you.
