Understanding your options

Nasal implant removal & reconstruction in Seoul.

Concerns about a nasal implant need an assessment of the implant, surrounding tissue and underlying support. Removal and reconstruction are separate decisions that may be planned together or in stages.

What implant concerns appear in the case library?

Published cases describe visible implant edges, thin tip skin, displacement, contracture and concerns after silicone or filler treatment. Similar-looking problems can have different causes. When searching, include both what you notice and what you know about earlier treatment, such as “visible implant”, “silicone removal” or “filler and upturned nose”.

Will the nose return to its original shape after removal?

Removing an implant does not guarantee a return to the pre-surgery shape. Prior surgery, scarring and the condition of the supporting structures can affect what remains. The restoration guide discusses why assessment includes bridge contour, tip support and the surrounding soft tissue, rather than just the decision to remove the implant.

Can removal and reconstruction happen together?

Some published cases combine removal with reconstruction. In other circumstances the medical team may recommend allowing tissue to recover before another procedure, particularly where inflammation or infection is a concern. The plan must be based on an examination and clinical history. It should include the reasoning for the timing and the proposed material.

What should I bring to the consultation?

Bring available implant or filler details, dates of previous procedures, operative records and a description of how symptoms have changed. Tell the team about previous infections, removal attempts and breathing concerns. Do not rely on a photograph or a similar online case to determine the condition of your own implant.

TAKE THESE TO YOUR CONSULTATION

Make your questions specific.

  • What is the current condition of the implant and surrounding skin?
  • What change in shape or support might follow removal?
  • Is immediate reconstruction appropriate, and what alternatives are available?
