Abstract

A 38-year-old female patient was referred urgently by her general practitioner. Over the last week, she developed erythema, tenderness around the tip of her nose. A swab showed heavy growth of Pseudomonas. The patient had undergone septorhinoplasty elsewhere 10 years ago, with the use of alloplastic grafts. Our first priority was to remove the infected graft and explained to the patient that this may compromise the tip support, affect the shape of her nose and eventually may need revision surgery. The implant was removed successfully via a closed approach, the patient had an excellent recovery and further revision was not deemed necessary.
