1 wk post closed rhinoplasty and sister accidentally hit my nose. How likely is silicone implant to dislocate or move?

misskim26Aug 2, 2017
My sister accidentally hit my nose from the left side pushing it to the right, I don't notice any visible movement or change, it looks straight but worried it will affect my result as I can't really see as there are some swelling at the side still. It did not hurt that much, my nose did not bled. The bump was not that strong. Sorry to ask as my doctor is from Thailand and I am in Malaysia now, I can't have him check until maybe a week or so again. Thank you.

It could be due an edema that hasn't completely resolved yet, however, I would advise returning to your surgeon to discuss what the original goals were for the surgery to decipher whether they have been met.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Pushing on your cartilage cannot change the shape.   If you would like to change the shape and/or size of your nose, then a surgical rhinoplasty will be a better option.  Make sure you s...

Hello,It is probably due to swelling! It takes 1-3 years for the swelling to fully go down after a rhinoplasty. The tip takes the longest time to heal and mold to the new framework because it is the thickest skin of the nose. The skin over the profile is thinner than the skin over the tip.
