What to do if there are sequelae after prosthesis implantation

Hello, I am happy to answer your question.

Take prosthetic rhinoplasty as an example. Generally, sequelae occur after prosthesis implantation. The main manifestations are: 1. Infection and inflammation; 2. Prosthesis skew; 3. Capsular contracture. Next, let’s talk about the situation.

Let’s talk about infection and inflammation first. Most of the causes of inflammation in the nose after prosthetic implantation are caused by improper handling of the prosthetic material during the implantation surgery, causing the prosthesis with bacteria to enter the nasal tissue. The contact of bacteria with wounds in the nasal cavity triggers an inflammatory reaction. Mild inflammation can be relieved with medication, while severe inflammation requires removal of the prosthesis.

As for the skew of the prosthesis, the skew of the prosthesis is relatively easy to understand. The main reason is that the position of the prosthesis is not accurate enough when implanting the prosthesis, and the surgery is not precise enough when stripping the implant space, which will cause visual problems in the later period. A crooked nose requires corrective surgery. There is no shortcut.

Next, let’s talk about capsular contracture. The main manifestations are quite diverse, including collapse of both sides of the nose, severe upturned nose, and curved shape of the nasal dorsum. The main reason is that the prosthesis is rejected by the autoimmune tissue after implantation. The implant reacts, causing a film to grow on the prosthesis, and the prosthesis will deform and tighten. The only treatment option for this situation is repair surgery, and once discovered, it must be treated early, otherwise it will cause a series of difficult sequelae.
