Which revision procedures can I benefit from?

Question

I am 10 months post op. My original nose was bulbous and thick skinned. I have silicon implant and nose tip worked on using some of my cartilage. A few months post-op my nose looked OK with the rest of the swollen features. However, as the silicon's getting more contracted, nose bridge looks too high for my face and almost bumpy on the sides. What can be done during a revision surgery? If I want silicone removed, is it possible to use some more of my own cartilage and make a small refined nose?

A detailed examination; internal and external  is required and as silicon implant you have is big, it made your nose bumpy, your implant can be removed, then tip can be refined with closed and atraumatic Revision Rhinoplasty can fix your Problem.

Important to have a thorough internal and external examination the nose make a determination about how best proceed. Copy of the operative report would also be helpful. Make appointment with three busy rhinoplasty surgeons in your local area.

Hi,The silicone implant that you have is too big and bulky for your nose making it appear bumpy. The silicone should be removed and replaced with either cartilage or  more refined silicone implant or a custom carved silicone implant. The tip can further be revised using cartilage grafts to give the tip a more refined appearance.Best,Dr.S.
