Injectable rhinoplasty is a popular method for nose augmentation today. However, some individuals may seek removal of the injected material due to dissatisfaction with the results or other reasons. How is this removal performed? Let's hear from the experts. Typically, approximately 60-80% of the injected filler can be removed. If no inflammation is present, the removal procedure can often be combined with a revision rhinoplasty.Individuals who previously underwent injectable rhinoplasty can opt for revision surgery. The removal process involves: first, making an incision at the nasal base and dissecting up to the nasal dorsum, similar to rhinoplasty. Specialized instruments are then used to clear the original foreign material. Simultaneously, a custom-sculpted implant tailored to your nasal structure can be inserted.
Generally speaking, removal of injectable rhinoplasty is relatively uncommon. Unlike implant-based rhinoplasty, which is more frequently encountered due to material sourcing, injectable removal typically only occurs when absolutely necessary.
The removal methods for implant-based and injectable rhinoplasty differ and require distinct approaches.Unlike injectable rhinoplasty removal, experts note that for individuals who previously underwent silicone implant rhinoplasty, modifications such as adjusting the bridge height or width, or refining the tip, are relatively straightforward. Typically, this involves removing the original implant and replacing it with a new one. Injectable rhinoplasty removal, however, is far more complex.
Generally, injectable filler removal resembles rhinoplasty procedures. Performed under local anesthesia, the surgery involves making an incision inside one nostril, dissecting the nasal dorsum tissue, and then using instruments to remove the injected foreign material.Some patients may experience slight distant diffusion of the injected material. In such cases, if no significant adverse reactions occur, extensive tissue dissection for removal may not be necessary. However, the foreign substance within the nose must be meticulously and thoroughly cleared. After removing the original foreign material, a new silicone implant can be inserted according to the patient's preference, yielding more satisfactory postoperative results.
