1, how long can prosthetic rhinoplasty last?
Prosthetic rhinoplasty can theoretically last for decades or even life.
Prosthetic rhinoplasty is to carve the prosthetic material close to the nasal bone, and then place the prosthesis perfectly under the fascia of the back of the nose, so that the effect of rhinoplasty can be maintained all the time. Prosthetic rhinoplasty is also favored by many people because of its time advantage.
2. Under what circumstances do you need to take out the prosthesis?
Although the prosthetic rhinoplasty can last for a long time, once these situations occur, the prosthesis must be taken out in time:
1. After rhinoplasty with prosthesis, the postoperative recovery is very poor, and swelling, congestion and pain appear for a long time, so the prosthesis needs to be taken out;
2. Prosthesis is skewed after rhinoplasty. From the outside, the tip of the nose is crooked and the bridge of the nose is bent. At this time, the prosthesis needs to be removed;
3. After augmentation rhinoplasty, the prosthesis needs to be taken out because of strong impact or other reasons.
3. What prosthesis is used for a long time?
Prosthetic rhinoplasty can use common materials such as silica gel and swelling. Among them, the expansion material has a better effect, and it has many micropores. Just like body tissue, with an expanded rhinoplasty, its blood vessels and tissues can gradually grow in. As time goes by, the expanded material can be integrated with the nasal tissue, so that the rhinoplasty effect will be better, the maintenance time will be longer, and of course the cost will be higher.
4. Daily nursing affects the effect
Daily nursing also has a great influence on the effect of prosthetic rhinoplasty. Especially postoperative care, avoiding the wound from getting wet prematurely, avoiding smoking, drinking and spicy food, and avoiding touching the nose too much may cause inflammation and redness of the nose, which is not conducive to wound recovery and has an impact on the effect of rhinoplasty. In addition, in daily life, it is necessary to avoid the nose being hit by gravity, so as not to cause the prosthesis to be skewed.
5. Side effects of prosthetic rhinoplasty
1, wound infection
During the operation, wound infection will occur if there is no strict disinfection or proper daily care after rhinoplasty. The body will have fever, pain in the wound, etc. It is recommended to seek medical advice in time.
2. The nose is red
It is normal for the nose to be red and swollen after rhinoplasty with prosthesis, and most of them will subside and reduce swelling within one week. However, the cavity peeling is insufficient or the level is too shallow, or the tension of the implanted prosthesis is too high, and the nose is still red and swollen after one week. In this case, the surgeon should be consulted in time for related repair treatment.
3. The prosthesis is unstable
One of the sequelae of rhinoplasty is that the contour of the implanted prosthesis is faintly visible. When you touch your nose, you can feel the implanted nose bridge prosthesis shaking under the skin, which may be caused by the shallow implantation of the nose prosthesis.
4. The prosthesis is transparent
After augmentation rhinoplasty, the enhancement of nasal reflex will make people feel the existence of subcutaneous prosthesis, which is often caused by the implantation of silicone prosthesis, shallow placement of nasal prosthesis and large prosthesis.
5. The prosthesis is skewed
In augmentation rhinoplasty with prosthesis, because the implant is not well fixed, it will slide gradually with the action of gravity. Prosthesis skew is another common sequela, which shows that the tip of nose is not in the middle, or the upper and lower parts of alar move to the middle position. Both cases should be repaired by professional doctors.
6. The prosthesis is exposed
The exposure of prosthesis after augmentation rhinoplasty is a serious sequela, which mainly shows that the prosthesis penetrates the skin or mucosa of the nose and is exposed. In this case, it is necessary to see a doctor in time.
7. Rejection reaction
Rejection after prosthetic rhinoplasty is also a common sequela, which shows that nasal edema does not disappear for a long time and yellow liquid flows out of the incision. In this case, we can consider the replacement of autologous cartilage rhinoplasty.
