Q. Only a nose tip revision rhinoplasty, and the existing silicone has bent.

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, the CEO doctor of Kowon Plastic Surgery, who creates high-quality results with meticulous technique.

Today’s post is about a worried question from someone who underwent only a nose tip revision rhinoplasty, but the existing silicone inside the bridge had bent, causing the bridge to shift severely to the left.

Q. Only a nose tip revision rhinoplasty, and the existing silicone has bent.

I went to the hospital to have the sutures removed after the nose revision surgery.

When the tape was removed, the tip of my nose was turned sharply to the right.

I was so surprised that I asked about it, and they said it only looked that way because the swelling on the left side was more severe.

They then told me to wait and see as I recovered a little more, and it has now been a week.

The swelling is gradually going down.

As the swelling from the nose revision went down, the existing silicone inserted into the bridge seems to have shifted severely to the left and bent like a bow, affecting even the nose tip.

Here are my questions.

1. My nose looked long and the tip drooped a lot, so the hospital where I had surgery performed a revision.

The nose tip has been raised much more than before, and I can feel that the nose has become much shorter. But the doctor who performed the surgery said they did not touch the bridge area????

To reduce the length, wouldn’t they have had to remove the silicone that had been used before, adjust the length, and then insert it again?

Could that have caused the silicone to shift and bend?

2. If not, then why did the silicone bend after only a nose tip revision?

3. If the answer to question 1 applies, could the bent silicone have touched a nerve between the eyes and caused inflammation, eye swelling, or symptoms such as numbness throughout the body?

This is my current condition... The doctor pressed the silicone firmly by hand in the opposite direction of the bend and gave me a cast, telling me to wear it only at night. Since then, I have felt warmth and throbbing around my nose. Also, when I touch the bent bridge area, it hurts..

In particular, I have a severe headache, and my eyeballs are swollen..

4. Is nose revision surgery the only way to correct bent silicone??

This revision surgery was already a very difficult decision, and now hearing that I may have to go back onto the operating table again... I’m already getting scared.

For doctors, it may be something they do every day, but from the patient’s perspective, it means enduring mental and physical pain and a long recovery period... If there is a way other than surgery, that would be really great.

▶▶ Theoretically, that is possible, but if the silicone had shifted enough to bend, the doctor would have taken measures regarding the silicone during the surgery.

2. If not, then why did the silicone bend after only a nose tip revision?

▶▶ It is difficult to know just from your description, and the doctor who performed the surgery would be the one who could make even a rough guess.

3. If the answer to question 1 applies, could the bent silicone have touched a nerve between the eyes and caused inflammation, eye swelling, or symptoms such as numbness throughout the body?

This is my current condition... The doctor pressed the silicone firmly by hand in the opposite direction of the bend and gave me a cast, telling me to wear it only at night. Since then, I have felt warmth and throbbing around my nose. Also, when I touch the bent bridge area, it hurts..

In particular, I have a severe headache, and my eyeballs are swollen..

▶▶ It is not that a nerve between the eyes was touched or anything like that, and whether there is inflammation can only be known by checking directly.

4. Is nose revision surgery the only way to correct bent silicone??

▶▶ If it has not been long since the surgery, it may be possible to correct it by pushing it back by hand or with tape.

However, if a certain amount of time has passed or if there is another cause, then nose revision surgery may be the only option.

I hope this answer was helpful.

I wish you good results.

Thank you.
