Can a revision rhinoplasty be performed after silikon 1000 injection in nose?

Question

So in 2019 I had my original rhinoplasty. It healed crooked in a c shape, which lead to my doctor breaking my nose in office to fix. Once that was performed, there were a few indents which lead my doctor to encourage me to get this injection to fix the issue: Now I am unhappy with how that looks and would like to get a surgical revision from a new doctor, but will the silikon stop this from being possible? I can't find much about this online, thanks! I know it was only 0.25ml.

In our practice, we are specialized in both rhinoplasty surgery and permanent non surgical rhinoplasty treatments with microdroplet Silicon-1000. When performing revision rhinoplasty surgery, the plane of dissection is deep to the silicone so it does not cause inconvenience to the surgeon. The small amount of silicone you had injected into your nose does not need to be removed. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, doctor Joseph

Hello @Tmadair1, thank you for your question. Yes, a revision rhinoplasty can be performed after a silicon injection in the nose. However, due to the presence of silicone, the results of revision rhinoplasty may be limited. The silicon need to be removed in order to achieve the desired results. Best wishes!

Yes, a revision rhinoplasty can be done. Any, this may be a good opportunity to have the silikon removed (As much as possible).  Silikon can cause problems even 20 years later and I, for one, don't recommend it at all.

Robert Kotler, MD, FACS · Answer

Yes it can. The Silikon-1000 becomes incorporated into the lower level of the skin.  It does not alter the architecture of the nose.  The supporting structures of the nose, the infrastructure you might say, is bone and cartilage.  The silicone is not incorporated into either of those.  I have had personal experience operating on patients who have had the Silikon-1000 injections and it did not compromise the results, nor make the operation any more difficult.
