Will my nose bridge go down/flatten a rhibit after Gore-Tex implant? (Photos)

Question

It’s nearly 4 weeks after my surgery and the swollen has gone down heaps. My bridge is abit high. Will my bridge go down/flatten a bit over time considering it’s gortex implant?

Scott Trimas, MD · Answer

It is very likely that your nose will continue to flatten out as the swelling goes out from the surgery. Implants can create additional swelling that can last several months so at this time I would remain patient and follow up with your surgeon.

Philip Solomon, MD, FRCS · Answer

At two weeks you are far to early to assess your final result.  The swelling along the nasal bridge will settle over months.  Based on your images your nasal dorsal height seems reasonable.  Speak to your surgeon and ask the size of the implant used.
