Hello,It is difficult for me to say without an in person consultation. I would make a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty as 100% of his/her practice. They will be able to give you the best advice after seeing your deviated septum in person.All the best, Deepak Dugar, MDScarless Rhinoplasty ExpertBeverly Hills, CA 90210
Most likely you can have it repositioned or replaced without too much difficulty. Depending on what the implant is made of, it may be possible to fix it in the office under a local anesthetic, but if it anything that integrates with the surrounding tissues then that could be a much more challenging situation.
If you are unhappy with your result after a rhinoplasty 10 years ago, a revision procedure may be performed. Artificial implants within the nose are very unpredictable, as they can migrate or extrude. A better long-term result may be achieved by using your own tissue. As always, it is important to personally consult with a board-certified Plastic Surgeon who specializes in rhinoplasty.
hi tweety18in,The most common cause of deviated implant are unsuitable implant - too long I-shaped implant or too long leg of L-shaped implant; pre-existing nasal bone asymmetry; nasal septum deviation; or poor implant positioning. All these issues can, and should be corrected during a revision surgery to achieve a straighter nose.
