Abstract
A 28-year-old female with thin nasal dorsal skin visited our department for augmentation rhinoplasty. We initially planned open rhinoplasty with a properly sized dorsal implant. However, the patient insisted on closed rhinoplasty. Thus, closed rhinoplasty was performed through a lower lateral-cartilage marginal incision, and augmentation was performed using a Gore-Tex implant. From the fourth day after the procedure, the white implant was seen through the skin of the nose, but was no longer visible at 1 month. This problem is common in young females with thin nasal skin. This case report reviewed the clinical features and literature on a visible implant after rhinoplasty.
