 Everyone wants to have a slender, elegant nose after a nose lift, and avoid any unwanted complications. However, not 100% of customers who want a cartilage nose lift can succeed, and in some cases, complications may occur. Here are 4 signs of a failed cartilage nose lift  that Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital wants to share with you:

Redness at the tip of the nose after lifting

Hedness at the tip of the nose is the first sign of a complication that Gangwhoo wants to warn you about. Since this is a common phenomenon after a nose lift, very few people pay attention to it. However, you should be careful because normally, if the redness lasts for only 1-3 days, it is considered normal. But if the tip of your nose is red for 5-7 days, you should reconsider because this could be a warning sign of a failed cartilage nose lift. As time goes by, the complication will become more evident in the swelling and lumpiness of the tip of your nose. You can clearly see the capillaries inside.

Crooked nose

This is a common situation after a nose lift due to improper shaping of the cartilage material. When looking straight from the front, you will see that the bridge of your nose is tilted to one side, making your nose look unbalanced and affecting your aesthetics. If not corrected soon, it will cause breathing difficulties in the long term.

The time to detect a crooked nose is usually after removing the bandage, because it is very hard to notice before. Therefore, after removing the bandage, you should pay attention to observe your nose from different angles and make sure that it is not crooked before you feel relieved.

Cartilage nose lift failed due to exposed ear cartilage

Ear cartilage is taken from the customer’s own body, so it is very unlikely to expose. However, a failed cartilage nose lift due to exposed ear cartilage can occur if the cartilage is not placed in the right position, which can cause the nose to bend or twist, not only affecting the aesthetics on the face but also causing pain, soreness and more seriously leading to necrosis of the nose.

Exposed nasal bridge

Exposed nasal bridge is a serious complication of a failed cartilage nose lift, specifically due to a problem with the nose lift technique, inaccurate cutting of cartilage in size, too thin skin,… The easiest way to recognize is that the nasal implant is tight, you can clearly see this phenomenon with your naked eye. More seriously, the cartilage implant can also protrude and bulge up looking very scary.
