What should I do if the prosthesis is exposed half a month after rhinoplasty?
Hello, the prosthesis must be surgically removed as soon as possible. Prevent infection, or cause larger perforation and skin ulceration, forming irreversible scars.

First of all, there are many reasons for prosthesis exposure, but the main reason is that the surgeon's strength is not enough. It may be that I didn't take my nose into account when carving in the early stage, and I ate too big prosthesis, which caused the prosthesis to puncture the skin. Because the position of the incision in rhinoplasty is generally in the nostril, another reason why your prosthesis is exposed may be that the position of the prosthesis is not accurate enough, which leads to the displacement of the prosthesis and penetration from the surgical incision. In short, under the present circumstances, you need to see a doctor at once.

Because you have just finished surgery for half a month, it is ok to take out the prosthesis and your nose can be restored to its previous state. You can also carry out secondary repair surgery, using autologous cartilage combined with prosthesis to achieve better results. At the same time, autologous cartilage is softer than prosthesis, which can effectively prevent the recurrence of postoperative problems.

However, it should be noted that. When dealing with exposed prostheses, many hospitals in China will only remove the exposed part, and the rest of the prosthesis will remain in the body. This method is very undesirable because the remaining prosthesis is prone to secondary injury. So we must carefully choose to repair the hospital.
