Q. Nasal implant surgery _ I used donated rib cartilage and silicone on the bridge of my nose 8 months ago.

Hello. I am Director Kim Hyung-taek, CEO of Kowon Plastic Surgery.

In this answer note, I would like to talk about surgery using donated rib cartilage and silicone among nasal implant surgeries.

Q. Nasal implant surgery _ I used donated rib cartilage and silicone on the bridge of my nose 8 months ago.

I don't know if it's because I'm being conscious of it, but

starting one day, I began to feel the boundary between the silicone on the bridge of my nose and the donated rib cartilage very strongly.

Of course, since I had surgery, it makes sense that it can be felt,

but I don't think it was this noticeable before.

But now it feels very pronounced, and the contour of the nasal implant at the boundary between the silicone on the bridge of my nose and the donated rib cartilage feels very strong.

When I touch the tip of my nose, it feels like the nasal implant is moving, which is bothering me,

but I don't feel any particular pain.

Also, even visually, the boundary line is not visible.

However, when I touch my nose, it feels like the nasal implant is very clearly noticeable.

Why is this happening? Could the donated rib cartilage have moved down or come loose inside..?

I understand that you are worried because it seems that the boundary between the silicone on the bridge of your nose and the donated rib cartilage is visible.

First, I would like to say that the boundary between nasal implants can sometimes be visible.

It would also be good to know that a visible boundary does not necessarily mean there is a problem with the nose or an inflammation issue.

In most of these cases, the height of the nasal tip naturally becomes lower,

and the boundary of the silicone located just above the nasal tip begins to show.

As the skin on the nasal tip becomes thinner and slightly lower,

this is a natural phenomenon, so there is no need to worry too much.

However, if you are very concerned or worried,

please visit the clinic where you had the surgery and discuss it with your doctor.

I hope you get a good result.

Thank you.
