Common complications of rhinoplasty:
(1) Infection: Infection often occurs 5-6 days after augmentation rhinoplasty, although some scholars think that it is possible to control it by lavage with normal saline or intravenous antibiotics. The author advocates that once the infection is diagnosed, the pros and cons should be discussed with customers, and the prosthesis should be taken out immediately and implanted again after 6- 12 months. Some people implant a new prosthesis or autologous material immediately after taking it out at the request of the patient, and the author also opposes it.
(2) Skewness: It is the most common complaint of dissatisfaction with rhinoplasty. The common reason is that unilateral nasal vestibule incision is used, and the cavity is not properly divided, which is often accompanied by prosthesis shaking. Treatment: take out the nasal prosthesis, peel off the cavity again, put in a new prosthesis or put in the original prosthesis after modification, and wear the nasal mold 1 week according to the situation after operation. The author's experience: PTFE prosthesis can be used to replace the original silicone prosthesis, because the prosthesis can be firmly combined with local tissue, reducing the probability of re-skew. In addition, some patients were not suitable for vacation at that time. After weighing the pros and cons, they can not take a holiday for the time being and wait for 3-6 months before taking a holiday. Plastic surgery can't be arbitrary.
(3) Whiteness or redness of the tip of the nose: it is often caused by the long-term parietal tissue of the tip prosthesis. If not treated in time, the skin of nasal tip may be damaged, resulting in concave scars. Treatment methods: The author mostly adopts the following methods: a. If the original prosthesis material is of good quality, trim the material into a "willow-shaped" prosthesis on the basis of the original prosthesis to eliminate the tension of the nose tip; B if the original material is general, it can be replaced with a prosthesis with better quality and modified into a willow shape; C. If the patient's nasal tip obviously collapses after changing into a willow shape or the patient is satisfied with the shape of the nasal tip, autologous auricular cartilage or nasal septum cartilage is selected for transplantation to the nasal tip.
