I do not know if the silicon implant is needed to be removed because sometimes i feel uncomfortable.what symptoms can cause the extruding? Do i need to get the nose checked by the doctor every year? Thanks a lot!
Answer: The Symptoms of Extruding of the Silicon Implant of the Nose?
Typically, an impending extrusion is signalled by thinning of the overlying skin and or redness of the skin on top of the implant. In extreme cases, the implant can even poke through the nasal skin or be seen with an examination of the lining of the nostrils. It is usually quite apparent. Seek a rhinoplasty expert and they can let you know what is going on with your nasal implant and remove it if the implant is extruding. I hope this information is helpful.

A nasal implant can extrude either through the skin or the inside lining of the nose. If the skin is very thin or if there seems to be a point of the implant poking under the skin, have it checked out, it might need removal.

Answer: The Symptoms of Extruding of the Silicon Implant of the Nose?
It should be relatively easy to tell if an implant is compromising the skin and is at risk for extrusion. The implant can be removed if necessary and the nose, reconstructed with cartilage. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Question of an extruding nasal implant
Silicon nasal implants are frequesntly use and can give a good long term result..
Extrusion is usually easy to diagnose since it can come out through the skin or inside the nose if there is a problem.. It is a good idea to discuss this with a surgeon skilled in rhinoplasty and have an exam..If it looks like it might be extruding or at risk for coming out in the future it is best to have it removed and replaced with your natural tissue.
