    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Cosmetic Procedures

    Background:

    • Post-rhinoplasty deformities present challenges in revision surgery.
    • Medical-grade liquid silicone has been explored for soft tissue augmentation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of medical-grade liquid silicone injections.
    • To assess its utility as an adjunct in cosmetic rhinoplasty.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 20 years of experience.
    • Conservative injection of small amounts of medical-grade liquid silicone.
    • Microdroplet technique in 347 postrhinoplasty patients (1,937 treatments).

    Main Results:

    • Medical-grade liquid silicone demonstrated safety and effectiveness.

  • It served as a valuable adjunct to cosmetic rhinoplasty.
  • The microdroplet technique was effective for specific nasal defects.

    • Conclusions:

    • Liquid silicone injections are a safe and effective option for correcting certain post-rhinoplasty nasal defects.
    • The microdroplet technique is recommended for defects not amenable to revision surgery.
    • Controlled release and professional training are advised for its medical use.
