I went to see the surgeon and he said my nose might be broken since there is a slight deviation. Yet, I have to wait for the swelling to go down to be 100 percent sure. He said it can be fixed. I just want to make sure that my nose will look exactly the same after it is fixed. I got hurt on Saturday. He said I have to wait until next week to see if its actually broken and to get it fixed. I just want to make sure my nose will look like it did before I got hurt.

Answer: Possible broken nose. Will it look exactly the same after it is fixed?
Hi,
I have not heard of silicone nasal implants causing cancer. If it wasn't placed in the right tissue plane you can have the problems you are talking about. It should not be a problem removing it if you want but you would have to replace it if you want to maintain the shape of the nose...
Your early result at 3 months looks good. You will undergo much swelling off and on for at least 6 months to 1 year until the final shape settles down. followup with your Plastic Surgeon.
At 18 months, 99% swelling is gone. If it is still too big high concentration of steroid injections could be very helpful.
The crunchy sensation might be bites of cartilage within you nasal tip. What was done under the tip? any grafting?
