Ear cartilage and silica gel are commonly used in rhinoplasty. Ear cartilage is often used as a material for nasal tip plastic surgery because of its similar texture to nasal tissue, while silica gel is often used to increase the bridge of the nose. More than half a year after operation, the nose turned white, accompanied by obvious circles and bright phenomena, which may be caused by the following reasons:
Blood circulation problem: the skin at the nose is thin. If the blood circulation in this area is affected during the operation, it may lead to skin ischemia and then turn white.
Material exposure: If the used auricular cartilage or silica gel material is placed too shallow, or the skin tension is too high, the material may be gradually exposed, showing that the skin surface turns white and shiny.
Infection or rejection: Although rare, if there is material infection or rejection after operation, it may also cause similar symptoms.
Combined with personal experience, I think this phenomenon may be related to the operation details during the operation. For example, doctors may not fully consider skin tension and blood circulation when placing materials, or improper postoperative care may increase the risk of infection. In addition, individual differences may also be one of the reasons. Different people's skin thickness and healing ability will affect the surgical effect.
In view of this situation, it is suggested to contact the surgeon for reexamination in time. Doctors will formulate corresponding treatment plans according to the specific situation, which may include local massage, drug treatment or surgical repair. At the same time, maintaining good living habits and eating habits and avoiding touching and squeezing the nose are also helpful for postoperative recovery.
In a word, the phenomenon that the nose turns white and shiny after rhinoplasty may be the result of a combination of many factors. The key to solving the problem is to communicate with doctors in time and take corresponding measures.
