Will the nose collapse after rhinoplasty implant removal?
Disease description:
I underwent rhinoplasty with nasal implants a few years ago and have been very careful since then. However, over the past few days, I’ve experienced severe nasal swelling and pain. I’m considering going to the hospital to have the implant removed. I’d like to ask: after removing the implant, can the nose recover normally? Will it collapse or become deformed?

Hello, if the outcome of rhinoplasty is unsatisfactory or if you experience nasal swelling and pain, the implant can be removed. However, the post-removal appearance of the nose varies among individuals. Some patients may notice a reduction in nasal height after implant removal, while others may experience nasal collapse; however, these outcomes are not inevitable. In the vast majority of cases, the nose returns to its original, pre-surgical state. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
