I Can Feel Something in my Nose After Rhinoplasty?

August 11, 2011
Asked By:Jocelyn K in Toronto, ON

i got asian rhinoplasty done in China one year ago. i BELIEVE the doctor used silicone for the bridge and my nasal cartilage for the tip. When I touch the tip of my nose, I can feel something pointy there. It's definitely what the doctor used for the tip of my nose, whether it's silicone or my cartilage. Is it normal that I'm able to feel the material he put there? Does this mean the cartilage or silicone is going to extrude? What are the chances that I won't have to get a revision done?
