What Would Happen If A Silicon Implant Is Removed After A Patient Underwent An Augmentation Rhinoplasty?

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

My cousin just had an augmentation rhinoplasty two months ago. She is considering of having the silicon implant removed because her nose now looked “off-centered”, It is inclined to the right side of the nose,. An Alar base reduction and alar thinning were also done during her operation. She fears that if implant is removed, her nose will appear deformed. She is also considering how the skin just above the nose will look like since it has stretched to accomodate the new “bridge”. All information and views regarding this will be appreciated.
