I have an indentation on the tip of my nose which was caused by the infection I had a year ago and my ENT doctor removed the silicone implant. I just had a reconstruction over 2 weeks ago, my doctor put an alloderm graft but I do not see a big improvements. She also sew the front tip cartilage together to give me a little bit of height on my tip and so it won’t droop. My doctor suggested a temp filler to fill the indentation but I am not sure if this is a good solution. I want a permanent solution.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty procedure First of all, this is a very difficult problem to fix, so choose your revision rhinoplasty specialist based on extensive experience with this specific issue. It's important to wait at least one year before undergoing any revision rhinoplasty procedure to allow full healing to occur. Cartilage grafting techniques utilizing the patient's nasal or ear cartilage or will be required to build up this area. The scar may also require further work after the structure has been built up underneath the depressed area.

Answer: Irregularities after infected implant I would suggest visiting with some revision rhinoplasty surgeons. These cases are very tough since there is a combination of lost support and excessive scar tissue. I would find someone in your area to see in person and have an honest discussion about expectations. Best of luck
