Graft in Tip is Showing Through Skin? Is It an Implant? 6 Months Post Op Rhinoplasty

User Avatar

My surgeon and I did not discuss any sort of implant but 6 months post op I appear to have a small, circular implant on my tip that sometimes shows in bright light. When I touch the area, it feels hard, and so I'm thinking it's probably some kind of implant. I had no idea he did this. I actually really like the way my nose is healing and I don't want to go in for a revision. But I really think the circle thing looks weird--did he do a poor job of placing it? It's not usually visible, however
