Why You Should Never Use an L-shaped Silicone!

L Silicone VS. I Silicone Implant

L-shaped implants are quick and easy to use when projecting the overall height of the nasal bridge and tip. With half the surgery time, the patient can get an easy projected (taller) line linked from bridge to tip. They were used in the past due to the easy, simple handling and reduced time in the surgery room. However, with the advancement of technology and methods, the I implant has come a long way to help surgeons design a more natural nose line from bridge to tip.

Some issues with the notorious L implant include:

⟹ Pressure from the corner angle of the L causing extrusion or necrosis in the tip ⟹ Bulbous or stretched nose tip ⟹A Pointy or unnatural line and tip ⟹Redness and/or thinning of skin ⟹Higher risk of infection ⟹Unsatisfactory elevation/balance of the dorsum or tip

The idea of the shape of the L implant may have been a good idea, but it has not achieved the results that were intended.

As you can see in the photo above, the skin above the implant doesn't remain the same. The skin becomes thinner and thicker along the bridge while the corner angle of the L has an uneven amount of skin and fat tissue around it.
