Q: Hello. I had a silicon implant and cartilage graft rhinoplasty about 1.5 years ago. I am unable to touch my nose as carelessly as I could before b/c the tip is hard and won’t move in certain ways. After removal of the implant and graft, will I be able to push my nose up and side-to-side and be all right if I accidentally drop something on my face (like my phone…) just like pre-op? Or will my nose collapse like Michael?! Will it feel and look the same as my old nose?
A: Depending on how your nasal anatomy was altered during your surgery will determine how it reacts once the silicone implant is removed. It certainly will be softer, and you will be able to move it side to side.
