Silicont implant in my nose - is it safe?

In my practice, I do not use silicone implants for rhinoplasty augmentation. My preference is to use autologous tissues such as the patients own cartilage and soft tissue for augmentation rhinoplasty. That being said, there are rhinoplasty surgeons that routinely use silicone implants during rhinoplasty and have good luck with them. The downside to using them is that they are more susceptible to infection than autologous tissues. Rhinoplasty with a silicone implant is typically treated the same postoperatively with regards to postop care, etc. I would avoid manipulating the implant from side to side as this can create a mobile implant and lead to a malposition requiring additional procedures to secure it. 

Dear Acinad, I have used both Silicone and cartilage for rhinoplasty for over 30 years. Would say that the chance of extrusion and infection of the silicone is less than 1%.Provided that the skin is thick and the silicone implant is properly designed and placed, you are most likely safe. With special design using soft type of silicone you can move or manipulate your nose like a normal nose.
