Silicone implant in my nose bridge only, how safe is it? 3 weeks post rhinoplasty.

Silicone implants do carry risk of infection and  extrusion.  The incidence of infection  is still relatively low if placed on the bridge alone but higher if an  L shaped implant which extends to the nasal tip is used. Implants such as gortex and medpore are believed by many to have a better safety profile.  Autologous use of ones own tissue has the lowest risk of infection but often requires removal of cartilage from ones ear or rib.
