Goretex on dorsum and nasal septum was harvested for tip height and added ear cartilage for projection. I am planning to have all these removed since I don\u2019t want anymore unnatural implant on my nose but scared of what it will look like after. Its ok if it will just go back to pre op structure or better but I hope not worst than my original nose. Will there be more swelling after removal compared to what I experience during primary? Hope its swells less.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>A:<\/strong> The synthetic implant on the bridge of your nose can be removed with minimal swelling, but removing the septal and ear cartilage grafts from the tip of your nose will create significant swelling. \u00a0After revision surgery, the nose will take longer to heal and for the swelling to fully resolve.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class='st_facebook' st_title='Which has more swelling?
