How Long Will a Silicon Implant In Nose Last?

Implants are permanent. In general, the goal prior to rhinoplasty should be to have one procedure and have your surgery performed correctly the first time around. Your own natural tissue and cartilage are a better option than an artificial implant. I have seen many complications arise with artificial implants, including asymmetry, rejection, and infection. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Implant results last forever, although the natural aging process may affect the shape and size of the nose mildly. If the implant were to be removed, the nose would be affected but it's hard to say how it would look.

A silicone nasal implant should last years, as long as there is no complication such as infection.  I am not crazy about using them,  and the removal is a simple procedure.  However, when removing a nasal implant that another surgeon has put it in, I often am concerned about what is under the implant and why the implant was used.  

Nasal silicone implant removal can be done under local anesthesia but the nose will not return to normal because the skin and tissue is stretched. This can be replaced with your own tissue.

If you are not having any issue with your nasal silicone implant, then your implant can last for as long as you want to keep it. If you removal the implant from the nose, your nasal skin may have stretched out and it may not return to original shape. The recovery after removal is typically two to three weeks, allowing the swelling/bruising to subside.
