Many people had rhinoplasty so long ago that they have almost forgotten how excited they once were about their new nose. Years later, the nose shape they liked may still look the same, or some people may start to feel that the bridge looks more tilted, the outline of the implant is more visible, or the nasal tip looks tighter than before.<\/p>\n\n
So the question is not just “does my nose still look good?” but “do silicone nose implants expire?” and “does everyone who had rhinoplasty years ago need a new implant?”<\/p>\n\n
In fact, the decision to replace a silicone implant is not based on the number of years alone. It depends on the actual condition of your nose now, including the nasal skin, the tissue, the nasal structure, any unusual symptoms and changes in the nose shape. This article looks at which symptoms a surgeon should assess and when replacing the silicone implant may not be needed straight away.<\/p>\n
