Q. Silicone Sinking After Hump Nose Surgery (CT Photo Attached)

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the CEO and chief surgeon of KOWON Plastic Surgery, pursuing healthy beauty.

This response note addresses a question about a case in which, after nose surgery, the CT image showed the silicone implant had shifted inward, but there did not appear to be any visible problem externally.

Q. Silicone sinking after hump nose surgery (CT photo attached)

This is a lateral CT image taken at a plastic surgery clinic.

Looking at the image, the silicone is not inserted in a straight line; it is curved inward.

At the plastic surgery clinic as well, after looking at the CT image, they said that too much of the septum had been touched, causing a saddle nose, and that the silicone seemed to have moved inward and sunk down deeply.

However, there is currently no visible problem in appearance.

Why did the silicone move inward?

If it has sunk inward, is there a way to correct it while removing the silicone? I would appreciate your thoughts.

Before the surgery, I had a hump nose, and the silicone was inserted starting at 2 mm in the glabella area and gradually made thicker toward the tip of the nose. Please review the photo and answer.

On the CT image, the tip of the silicone appears to have settled inward.

It is not exact, but it is likely that continuous force was applied to the front part of the silicone, causing it to move inward. Although there may be no sunken area externally, the tip of the nose is thought to have become lower than it was immediately after surgery.

The exact cause will likely depend on what kind of surgery was performed and the current condition of the nose, which would need to be examined in person.

If the septum was used, it may be considered that the septum settled downward and the silicone moved with it. In such cases, if only the silicone is removed, the nose may appear lower.

For correction, surgery to reinforce the septum is likely to be necessary.

I hope for a good result. Thank you.
