Signs of failed rhinoplasty with implants include obvious implant visibility and unnatural shape. In such cases, the implant can be repositioned by reopening the original incision and properly securing it. Slight deviation after rhinoplasty is normal and can often be corrected manually by gentle manipulation. However, significant deviation requires adjustment of the fit between the implant and nasal bone for correction. During revision surgery, the implant should be removed and repaired simultaneously; if infection is present, the revision procedure should be delayed until inflammation has completely resolved.
