Can my silicone nose implant break and push through the tip of my nose over time? (photos)

September 26, 2018
Asked By:Nicka142 in Pilesgrove, NJ

I am Thai and had my nose done in Thailand about 10 years ago. I had a silicone nose implant to make my nose look more sharp. I am concerned because I feel the implant is making the skin at the tip of my nose thinner and worry the skin will break. If I have it removed, will the stretched skin after 10 years return to normal?
