I think I want my Medpor removed. Is it possible to remove without having necrosis set in?

Asked By:specialT1

The only work I had done to my nose was a Medpor implant placed on my bridge for height 16 yrs ago & that's it. I love the result but the problem is I think it's caused my nasal passages to become too narrow making breathing a bit annoying. I know it's going to be difficult to remove but is it possible w/o having necrosis set in?

Hi @ereeen. Six weeks is very early in your healing process--I recommend waiting a full year to judge your final results. If you are unhappy with the results after 1 year, I recommend considering a revision rhinoplasty. Best of luck, Dr. Nima
