Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the chief director of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic, who creates highly refined results with meticulous technical skill.

Today’s answer note is a question from someone who is worried about cartilage problems after nose surgery.

Q. Rhinoplasty with ear cartilage, even after silicone removal..

It’s not like it’s sticking out a lot or anything.

If I pay attention to it, I can sometimes notice it? It seems to happen sometimes when I’m not feeling well or when I’m tired.

After my nose surgery, my nose kept turning red, so I had the silicone removed about 3 to 4 years agoㅠ

So I really don’t think the silicone is pushing the ear cartilage and causing it to look like that at allㅠㅠ..

The clinic said there doesn’t seem to be a major problem, and they also said the ear cartilage height is not to the point where it feels compressed...ㅠㅠ

Honestly, other people might not notice it, but once I saw it, I kept seeing it after that..

Right now, there is no silicone in my nose, only ear cartilage, but can cartilage stick out????

Could this lead to necrosis later, or could the condition get worse?

I’m so worried that it seems like it might stick outㅠㅠㅠㅠ

From what I can see, it doesn’t seem at all like something that would require reopening and surgery.. but I’m asking because I’m needlessly anxiousㅠ

At present, it appears that your ear cartilage is slightly visible at the nasal tip.

It does not seem that the ear cartilage inside is pushing out the nasal tip; rather, it appears that when silicone was present in the past, the skin at the nasal tip became thin, causing the ear cartilage at the tip to become visible.

In the current state, unless inflammation develops, the ear cartilage will not break through the skin, and the possibility of necrosis is also very low.

However, if the visible cartilage at the nasal tip bothers you, there is also a method of making a small opening inside the nose and removing the ear cartilage.

I hope you have a good result.
