Silikon 1000 to Correct Nose After Several Revision Rhinoplasties?

Tags: alar, options

I've had 6 revision rhinos. Based on responses I've received on this site, sounds like another revision is a bad idea. Would it be possible to fix remaining issues with Silikon 1000? Could Silikon 1000 be used to fix the alar notching on my left nostril, giving my nostril a more rounded look? Could it be injected into the supra alar crease above my right nostril to build it up so it looks more like my left nostril? What are the risks when injecting Silikon in nose? Will it look bad years later?

Silikon-1000 may be safely used by experienced physicians for nasal rejuvenation after multiple rhinoplasty surgeries.

I read your concerns and reviewed your photos: The two photos on the left look similar. In my practice, Silikon-1000 works well for improving nostril retraction and for filling deep supra-alar creases. I can't tell if you would be a candidate without examining you. Your nostril margin must feel soft to achieve nostril lowering. Cartilage crafting along your alar margins tends to limit results from microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections.

Liquid Silicone For Nasal Defects

Even though liquid silicone has legitimate medical uses, it is specifically not FDA approved for use as a nasal filling material. There are numerous reports of granulomas, infections, and even skin loss after the use of silicone in the nose. There are reports of minimal defects being treated with micro-injections of this material by experienced surgeons. In order to make the changes you request, a larger amount would be necessary and put the skin under intense pressure. That is a recipe for... more
