Q. After nose surgery 10 years ago, do I need to replace the implant?

Hello, I’m Kim Hyung-taek, CEO and chief surgeon of Kowon Plastic Surgery, where confident and refined beauty blossoms.

Today’s question comes from someone who had nose surgery using an implant 10 years ago and is now worried about whether the implant should be replaced.

Q. After nose surgery 10 years ago, do I need to replace the implant?

I wasn’t really thinking about revision surgery at all, but then I suddenly had this thought.

I had only the bridge of my nose raised with an implant 10 years ago.

But since an implant was used, I started wondering whether I would have to replace it someday..

Do I need to replace it?

I can’t remember which implant the hospital used for my nose surgery.

I’m not even sure whether that hospital is still in the same place..

If I touch the bridge of my nose, it feels so natural, almost like it’s just my own nasal bone, and I don’t feel any pain.

So far, there really haven’t been any problems.

The implant used in nose surgery won’t rot, will it..?

Many people think that revision surgery is needed after a certain amount of time following nose surgery, but if there are no particular problems, you can simply keep living as you are.

If you are unhappy with the shape after nose surgery or have another issue, then revision surgery may be necessary, but if not, you can keep the current implant and continue as you are.

However, if the procedure or surgery was performed illegally rather than legally, and if what was inserted into the nose was not the commonly used silicone or Gore-Tex, it would be best to visit a nearby plastic surgery clinic and consult with them.

I wish you good results.

Thank you.
