Answer: Nasal implant removal After removal of the silicone Nasal implant the nose skin can start redraping and shrinking. It becomes very difficult to perform augmentation afterwards. The sooner you can get it revised the better.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty after Silastic implant removal It is best to wait at least one year to allow full healing to take effect before undergoing a revision rhinoplasty procedure. At 4 weeks the nose is still changing shape after the L-shaped silicone nasal implant has been removed.

Answer: It has been 4 weeks I removed my L shaped silicone nasal implant so how long should I wait to get another nose job Hi, I have performed and taught Rhinoplasty for 30 years. The rule of thumb is to wait 6 months for the tissues to properly heal and for the blood supply to re-establish before having a revision Rhinoplasty. I have seen numerous patients that had L-shaped silastic dorsal implants placed elsewhere. If the nasal dorsum looked good, I remove the vertical (short portion) of the implant and repair the nasal cartilages using a conchal cartilage ear graft. The rest of the implant can remain in place.

Answer: Revision Rhinoplasty after L Shaped Silicone Implant Removal Hi,There are various opinions amongst surgeons about time for revision rhinoplasty. I believe each case is different depending on circumstances. In your case, as long as the nasal tissue swelling has subsided, the 4 to 6 month period is adequate to pursue a revision.Best,Dr.S.
