Hello. I've had an augmentation rhinoplasty last year through which a Goretex implant was placed in my nose to improve bridge height. However, that implant deviated to the point where I can move it. Last month, I had it fixed but I can see that the implant is still tilting to the same side although not as bad as before and not as visibly movable as before. My question is, will this be straight over time? Or is it really still deviated and there is something my doctor isn't getting right?
Answer: Deviated Gore-Tex It is obvious that your implant is deviated. It may be caused by wrong inertion or because your original nose is not straight. Your skin seems slightly thin and too much augmentation at the radix play some role in such phenomeno. Revision surgery using rib is recommended. Lowering the radix slightly and making the transitioin from sidewalls to nose smooth and natural are required. Thanks.

Answer: You appear to have a pleasing result after replacing your dorsal onlay graft. Based on your current photo, you appear to have a more pleasing nasal appearance than you did after your first surgery. Since you look better and since the implant is no longer mobile, I suspect that you will have a happy ending. When all of your swelling has resolved, provided that your implant is stationary and that there is not a significant indentation, sometimes microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered for achieving a straighter nasal appearance. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question.All doctor have different methods of course. In your case, instead of an implant I would have used cartilage reconstruction (from ear and/or rib) for the augmentation. In the last photo you provided it doesn't look like you have a strong deviation, anyway if that still disturbs you you can go back to your surgeon for a check-up.

Answer: Deviated Goretex Implant In general, after a rhinoplasty procedure involving the placement of an implant, it is possible for the implant to shift or deviate from its desired position. The amount of deviation can vary depending on several factors, including the surgical technique, the type of implant used, and individual healing characteristics.
