How long is the life of plastic prosthesis?
Hello! Prosthetic rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and chin augmentation are very popular facial contour shaping methods in plastic surgery. The following is a description of the life of the prosthesis:

1, the life of silicone prosthesis for breast augmentation, in fact, there is no exact answer at present. Once the prosthesis is put into the human body, it will be worn under the influence of various activities. With the passage of time, the prosthesis itself will also appear some aging phenomena, which may cause leakage or rupture. Therefore, it is generally recommended to change the prosthesis every ten years. Good quality prosthesis can be used for 15~20 years. If a poor quality prosthesis is implanted, it may be prone to the problem of prosthesis time point, and the prosthesis may leak or even rupture.

2. The life of silicone prosthesis can be maintained permanently after rhinoplasty. Judging from the current clinical use, silica gel will appear calcification, decomposition and falsehood in the human body for a long time. Although it does not affect the health of the body, it will reduce the visual beauty, so whether it is a domestic or joint venture silicone nose prosthesis,

It is recommended to replace it in 5- 15 years.

3. The expandable prosthesis is very compatible with human body and has no side effects on human body. Theoretically, it can be used for life and does not need to be replaced. However, the expandable prosthesis will harden with the passage of time, and it is easy to be infected. Therefore, people who implant the expandable prosthesis also need to go to the hospital regularly for relevant examinations.
