I am planning to have rhinoplasty, and I've learned about nasal implants. Can a nasal implant deform after impact or collision?

Nasal implant augmentation may deform upon impact, but this depends on the severity of the collision. Nasal augmentation can be performed using silicone implants or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) materials. If the impact is not particularly severe, deformation generally does not occur. After rhinoplasty, proper nasal care is essential; keep the surgical site clean and hygienic to avoid complications that could affect recovery.
