What is Nasal Implant Removal?
Nasal implant removal is a surgery performed to remove nasal implants due to various reasons
such as infection, contracture, or psychological factors after rhinoplasty.
At Chamin, we don’t simply remove the implant
we thoroughly analyze internal structures such as the current condition of the nose, the degree of contracture,
and skin condition, and then perform implant removal surgery based on the underlying cause.
Types of Nasal Implant Removal
Chamin establishes customized surgical plans according to the type.

  • 01 Infection

    The most common reason for implant removal swelling and pain occur at the surgical site due to infection.

  • 02 Contracture

    When the skin contracts and hardens, causing the nasal tip to become shortened and upturned (contracture).

  • 03 Implant Extrusion/Exposure

    When the implant becomes visible under the thinned skin or protrudes outward at the nasal tip.

  • 04 Foreign Body Sensation/Pain

    When the surgical site feels hard or tight, or when there is a foreign body sensation or pressure in the nose.

  • 05 Psychological Discomfort

    When psychological anxiety arises after surgery due to implants, infection, or side effects.

  • 06 Soft Tissue Damage

    When soft tissue damage or infection causes the skin to thin or weaken, turning red and making the implant visible.

Chamin Nose Implant Removal – Key Points
Implant removal is never a simple surgery.

  • POINT 1. Prevent Shape Deformation

    Considering both nasal skin and soft tissue, we perform delicate surgery to prevent shape deformation and contracture.

  • POINT 2. Capsule + Scar Tissue Removal

    If the capsule is not removed, it can cause complications. We carefully analyze the nose and remove the capsule and scar tissue when necessary.

  • POINT 3. Minimize Tissue Damage

    After identifying the exact nasal condition and cause, we safely remove the implant while minimizing surrounding tissue damage.

Nose Implant Removal – Frequently Asked Questions
During nose implant removal surgery, patients often ask the following questions.

  • After this removal surgery, will my nose look the way it did before I ever had surgery?

    It depends on the reason for the removal. For a nose that did not have significant complications like infection or contracture, it’s highly possible for it to return to its original appearance. If the skin and internal nasal cartilage weren't severely damaged, a complete removal can allow it to revert to its natural state. However, if there was severe inflammation, skin thinning, or significant cartilage damage, returning to your original nose is considerably more difficult, and corrective measures will be necessary.

  • Won't my nasal profile look unnatural if I only remove the bridge implant?
    When the implant is removed, is it possible to also remove the cartilage that was grafted to the nasal tip?

    Yes, it is possible to remove both the bridge implant and the cartilage that was grafted to the nasal tip. At Chamin, after removing these materials, we also perform a nasal tip cartilage repositioning. This procedure is done to prevent shape deformation after the removal and helps to create a natural-looking nasal profile

In reality, simply removing the implant can make the nasal profile look awkward.
At Chamin, we combine implant removal with cartilage repositioning to restore the nose to its natural state before surgery,
preventing deformation and contracture through customized surgery by case type
When Implant Removal + Nasal Tip Cartilage Repositioning is Needed
  • Contracted Nose
  • Nostril Asymmetry
  • Short Nasal Tip
  • Deformed / Damaged
    Nasal Tip Cartilage
  • Deviated Columella /
    Crooked Nose
Nasal tip cartilage repositioning is a procedure that removes previously grafted cartilage and repositions it to its original place and shape.
In such cases, Chamin performs implant removal together with nasal tip cartilage repositioning to prevent tip deformity.
