Nasal Implant Removal

It is not simply about
removing the implant

Problems that can arise after implant insertion — including inflammation, deformation, and show-through —
are accurately diagnosed and the nasal implant is safely removed.
When necessary, tissue restoration and functional improvement are also incorporated into the procedure.

Your Concerns

Do you have any of these concerns?

If any of the following apply to you,
Nasal Implant Removal may be worth considering.

L-shaped or double L-shaped silicone implant extends to the nasal tip

Silicone implant fails to adhere to the bone and lifts, causing Side Effects

Silicone or Gore-Tex Side Effects causing contracture nose or shortened nose deformity

Persistent inflammatory reaction years after rhinoplasty

Wanting to return to a natural appearance due to implant show-through or foreign body sensation

Wanting to maintain a stable nasal shape after implant removal

Core Principles

Beyond simple removal —
we consider both function and aesthetics

To address problems caused by nasal implants — including inflammation, contracture, and deformation —
we safely remove the implant while minimizing damage to skin, cartilage, and surrounding tissue.

POINT 01

Customized Response to Various Side Effects

Accurate diagnosis starting from the cause

We accurately diagnose the cause of various implant-related problems — including inflammation, warping, and lifting — and select the safest, most effective removal method.

POINT 02

Minimized Tissue Damage

Recovery-enhancing approach

Through precise anatomical approach, we preserve surrounding tissue as much as possible during implant removal, reducing post-operative recovery burden.

POINT 03

Reconstructive Rhinoplasty Integration Available

Simultaneous consideration of function and aesthetics

Functional nasal recovery and aesthetic reconstruction are carried out simultaneously with implant removal, delivering a harmonious result.

+ Implant removal is never a simple procedure

Delicately and precisely — skin, soft tissue, and capsule are thoroughly analyzed so the implant can be safely removed without shape distortion. Even invisible scar tissue is removed to reduce Side Effects and minimize damage; the nasal condition and exact cause must be identified before proceeding with safe removal.

Removal Cases

Same implant removal —
no one approach fits all

The removal method and reconstruction direction vary
depending on the type and condition of the implant.

CASE 01

L-shaped or double L-shaped silicone
extending to the nasal tip

We first analyze the adhesion to nasal tip cartilage, then safely separate and remove the silicone without damaging surrounding tissue. Nasal tip structural reorganization after removal is also designed together.

CASE 02

Silicone fails to adhere to bone,
lifting and causing Side Effects

We remove both the lifted implant and the formed capsule, then assess bone and soft tissue condition to reorganize into a stable nasal structure.

CASE 03

Side Effects causing contracture nose
or shortened nose deformity

We meticulously remove the contracted capsule and implant, then correct the retracted tissue to naturally reorganize the deformed nasal shape.

CASE 04

Persistent inflammatory reaction
years after surgery

Implant condition and extent of inflammation are analyzed in advance via 3D-CT, then the causative implant and inflamed tissue are safely removed.

Surgery Process

Nasal Implant Removal Process

Going beyond simple removal, our delicate and systematic process
precisely restores tissue and form damaged by the implant, minimizing Side Effects.

STEP 01

Accurate Diagnosis

Nasal condition analysis via 3D-CT

The current implant condition and internal nasal structure are precisely diagnosed, including presence of inflammation, deformation, and contracture.

STEP 02

Safe Removal

Implant, capsule & scar tissue treatment

When necessary, capsule and scar tissue are removed together to eliminate potential sources of remaining Side Effects.

STEP 03

Recovery Enhancement

Minimizing tissue damage

The implant is safely removed while minimizing structural damage to the nose and preserving surrounding tissue.

STEP 04

Post-operative Care

Recovery management & follow-up check

Post-operative swelling and recovery progress are monitored, and additional treatment is provided as needed to verify absence of complications.

Why Pleasure

Why Pleasure Implant Removal
is Different

What comes after removal matters more than the removal itself.
Safe removal, capsule and scar tissue treatment, and minimized tissue damage are all individually designed.

Image area Nasal Implant Removal 1
POINT 01

Precision Pre-Analysis Based on 3D-CT

Using 3D-CT, we accurately assess implant position, capsule condition, and surrounding tissue in advance to establish the safest surgical plan.

Implant Position

The exact position and degree of adhesion of the current implant are analyzed.

Capsule Condition

Capsule thickness and extent of inflammation are precisely assessed in advance.

Surrounding Tissue

Cartilage, skin, and soft tissue condition are analyzed to minimize damage.

POINT 02

Meticulous Treatment of Capsule & Scar Tissue

We go beyond simple removal — capsule and scar tissue are also treated to reduce the chance of Side Effects recurrence. Reconstructive rhinoplasty direction after removal is simultaneously designed.

Capsule Removal

Thickened capsule is meticulously removed to eliminate the source of recurrence.

Scar Tissue Treatment

Even invisible scar tissue is treated to minimize Side Effects.

Reconstructive Linkage Design

Implant-free revision surgery direction using autologous tissue is also designed together.

Why PLEASURE

Why choose Pleasure Plastic Surgery
for Nasal Implant Removal?

What comes after removal matters more than the removal itself.
Safe removal along with post-removal nasal shape reorganization are individually designed.

Extensive Clinical Experience in Removal & Revision

Drawing on a wide range of implant Side Effects cases — including inflammation, contracture, and deformation — we carry out safe, precise removal.

Precision Pre-Analysis via 3D-CT

Implant position, capsule condition, and surrounding tissue are accurately assessed in advance to establish the safest surgical plan.

Meticulous Capsule & Scar Tissue Treatment

We go beyond simple removal — capsule and scar tissue are also treated to reduce the chance of Side Effects recurrence.

Tissue-Damage-Minimizing Approach

Through precise anatomical approach, surrounding tissue is preserved as much as possible, reducing recovery burden.

Reconstructive Rhinoplasty Integration Design

If an implant-free revision direction is desired after removal, an autologous tissue utilization plan is simultaneously designed.

FAQ

Before Nasal Implant Removal
Frequently Asked Questions

Q Will my nose look significantly sunken after implant removal?
Some degree of sinking may occur after implant removal. At Pleasure, we naturally supplement any deficient areas with autologous tissue or autologous dermis alongside the removal, minimizing sinking and designing together so that the nasal shape remains stable.
Q Are the capsule and scar tissue also removed?
Yes. Rather than stopping at simple implant removal, we assess capsule thickness and scar tissue condition and treat them together. Leaving capsule and scar tissue behind can cause inflammation and recurrence, making meticulous treatment essential.
Q Can older implants be removed?
Yes. Older implants are more likely to have thickened capsules or adhesions to surrounding tissue; we use 3D-CT analysis to assess the condition in advance and establish a safe removal plan.
Q Can I switch to implant-free rhinoplasty after removal?
Yes. Implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous tissue such as septal or ear cartilage can be planned and performed simultaneously with removal. Individual cartilage condition and nasal structure will be assessed and guidance provided during your in-person consultation.
