It’s been 8 years now, and I had silicone in the nasal bridge, ear cartilage for the nasal tip, and septal cartilage used. But since last year, the silicone in my nasal bridge has gradually started showing through, and now there’s a straight-line (-) shaped crease at the glabella. It’s not showing through everywhere, but from the glabella down to about halfway it looks whitish and translucent ㅠ It’s not like it’s blatantly visible, but if you look closely~ you can see itㅠㅠ It looks especially worse under light. It’s seriously such huge stress. I don’t have the time or money right now, and I have no idea what I should do first. I don’t know whether I should go to a clinic for a consultation or earn money first; the situation is a total mess, and I’m just depressed. Is there anyone with a case like mine ㅜㅜ?
익명 First of all, pat pat... I’m also thinking about nose surgery, and I guess silicone really does show through over time ㅜㅜ If you get revision surgery, will you put it in again or remove it?
왜옹 [@] I want to put something in! If I remove this, my nose will be really, really low because I basically have no nasal bridgeㅜㅜ I’m looking into autologous costal cartilage and dermis, but they all have such clear pros and cons ㅜㅜ
우사모모 *Deleted by the poster.
Lalaby [@Usamomo] Nasal bridge filler spreads. After 1-2 years, it’s already spread. Doing filler as an alternative after nose surgery makes no sense. Maybe if you hadn’t had surgery at all.
우사모모 [@Lalaby] Ah, I didn’t know.... Maybe they said that because it would be my first surgery...! They told me that if I’m worried about silicone showing through, I should only do the nasal tip and get filler instead, so then does filler spread more easily if the nasal bridge is very low?
Lalaby [@Usamomo] It has nothing to do with whether it’s low or high. Filler spreads from the start. That’s why if you get filler, the nose gets bulky later. If you don’t know that and think it got lower because it was absorbed, then the more retouches you do, the bulkier it keeps getting. It just spreads. There are no conditions.
우사모모 [@Waeong] I gave the wrong information.. Sorryㅜㅜ You’ve probably looked into it more than I have, so I hope you choose the method that suits you well! Have you gone back to the clinic where you had your first surgery? Or are you planning to look for a new one??
왜옹 [@Usamomo] I’m thinking about it!! It’s been 8 years, and for more than about 5 years I was really satisfied, so I’m considering going back, but the surgeon who operated..? isn’t at this clinic anymore, and somehow the recent reviews are a bit mixed ㅠㅠ Still, would it be better to go?
Lalaby If it’s not very visible and there’s no problem, wouldn’t it be okay? I think it depends on the degree, but if it shows through even with makeup, you may need to lower the silicone height. If your skin is thin, the clinic may also suggest placing dermis over it, so get a clinic consultation first.
왜옹 [@Lalaby] I think it feels different depending on the lightㅠㅠ If I wear makeup, the whitish look gets covered, but the crease.. ㅠ And it’s 4 mm, so it’s on the high side ㅠㅠ I’ll go for a consultation soon !!
Lalaby [@왜옹] Ah... the glabellar crease must have formed because the skin got thinner... If it varies depending on the light, the show-through itself probably isn’t too severe, and I think you can ask them to lower the glabella area! If it’s just changing the silicone, it may be possible with a closed approach, so I hope you find the appropriate surgical method and clinic
사십분 Ah... First, it would be better to get a clinic consultation. I hope you can find a good clinic...
왜옹 [@Lalaby] Lowering only the glabella area sounds okay too! Thank you :)
