Core Tip	Due to its relatively safe biocompatibility and stability, silicone is widely used as a material for nasal implants in rhinoplasty. However, calcification of silicone implants in the nose results in both aesthetic and functional loss of the implants. This study, through clinical analysis of calcification in silicone nasal implants, suggests that the highest frequency occurs in the tip dorsum area. It hypothesizes that the cause of calcification is attributed to both inflammatory reactions and continuous friction against the tissue. Therefore, using softer forms of silicone and minimizing tissue damage during surgery, could reduce the complications associated with calcification.
