Usually we all know that rhinoplasty is a very common beauty method on the market, but many people will have fluid accumulation after rhinoplasty, so let’s learn about rhinoplasty Is it an infection if there is fluid accumulation after rhinoplasty? What should I do if there is fluid accumulation during rhinoplasty?

Is there an infection if there is effusion after rhinoplasty?

The effusion after rhinoplasty is not necessarily an infection. A small amount of effusion may be caused by bleeding and bleeding during the operation. Tissue fluid can generally be slowly absorbed by the tissue over time. If other symptoms of infection appear, they need to be treated with antibiotics. If the amount of effusion is large, you may need to go to the hospital for appropriate treatment. If it is a prosthetic rhinoplasty, it is possible that the implant itself may have a serious rejection reaction and the prosthesis may need to be removed. If the symptoms are not particularly severe, conservative antibiotic treatment can be taken first. Prosthetic rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure in which an incision is made on the columella or inside the nostril, prosthetic material is transplanted into the nasal tissue, and the incision is sutured shut. There is fluid accumulation on the nose. It is considered to be caused by the large tissue trauma and excessive bleeding during the operation. If the fluid accumulation is small, it can be absorbed by itself. If the amount is large, it needs to be disinfected and removed by the plastic surgery department, and antibiotics are used to prevent infection. .

What to do if there is effusion during augmented rhinoplasty

According to the time when false effusion occurs, it is divided into early and long-term, as follows:

1 . Early effusion includes bleeding, hematoma and abscess. If bleeding or hematoma occurs, aspiration treatment can be performed. After the blood is extracted from the surgical area, compression or ice is applied, and hemostatic drugs are applied throughout the body to prevent the recurrence of effusion. If an abscess occurs, thorough debridement may be required, and the prosthesis may be replaced if necessary, or the prosthesis may be removed to retain the nasal tip stent, and the dorsum of the nose may be filled in the second stage;

2. The causes of long-term effusion problems are relatively unknown Complex, some patients are caused by prosthesis rejection or infection, and infection requires active treatment. Silicone materials can be treated conservatively. When using expanded implants, the prosthesis needs to be removed in time. Because of its porous structure, bacteria may breed inside. If it is not removed, the infection will be difficult to control. If the abscess is allowed to develop, it can further damage the cartilage support in the septum, causing cartilage absorption and affecting the shape of the nose tip.

What are the risks of expanded rhinoplasty?

1. Infection: Since there are micropores in the expanded material, once infection occurs, it is difficult to control and the prosthesis needs to be removed in time.

2. Difficulty in removing the prosthesis: Once the rhinoplasty fails, it is more difficult to remove the expanded implant, especially when the autologous tissue has grown into the micropores of the expanded implant.

3. Swelling and blood stasis: There will be swelling and blood stasis in the nose after surgery; if subperiosteal separation is performed, there may also be obvious bruising around the eyes. These inflammatory reactions will basically subside in about 2 weeks; if there is still obvious swelling and pain after that time, you should go to the hospital for follow-up in time.

What are the side effects of expanded rhinoplasty

The main side effects of expanded rhinoplasty are as follows: 1. It is easy to get infected. After infection, it can easily cause the incision to open, causing The hardened prosthesis is exposed. 2. Since the tissues and blood vessels have grown into the micropores of the expanded material, it is more troublesome to take out the expanded material. 3. After rhinoplasty surgery, especially if the surgical area is traumatized or squeezed by external force, especially for beauty lovers, it will cause nasal discomfort. 4. Prosthesis displacement: When performing augmentation rhinoplasty surgery, if the gap where the prosthesis is placed is relatively large, or the nose is subject to some collision after the operation, the prosthesis will shift.
