ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Various surgical techniques have been developed to enhance the nose shapes of Asian patients. Silicone implant augmentation rhinoplasty is widely used because it is relatively easy to perform and often yields satisfactory outcomes. However, this technique may lead to complications, including ischemia, necrosis, and over-augmentation. The most appropriate management of these complications, including infection, is immediate implant removal and revision surgery once the accompanying inflammation has healed. Occasionally, the patient may experience distress from nasal deformities during the intervention period. CASESUMMARY:
Herein, we describe the case of a patient who underwent a secondary dorsal augmentation, with a folded dermofat graft harvested from the inguinal area and simultaneous implant removal, successfully preventing dimpling of the nasal deformity.CONCLUSION:
This surgical method can effectively manage implant-related complications following augmentation rhinoplasty using a silicone implant and provide satisfactory patient outcomes.
