Nose Implant
Nasal implants will correct nasal deficiencies in the bridge of nose, drooping of the tip as well as many other areas of the nose. A nose implant can give height and definition to a flat nose or improve the tip. It can also be done to correct a collapse on one side of the nose to make it look straighter. An implant may also be used to support a drooping nasal tip. Implants are frequently used in revision rhinoplasty where too much cartilage was removed from a previous rhinoplasty.
