Theoretically, the effect of prosthetic rhinoplasty can be maintained for life, but the specific maintenance time is related to the effect of rhinoplasty and the quality of prosthetic materials.

With the passage of time, the quality of ordinary silica gel materials may decrease and the leakage rate may increase. Therefore, it is suggested that the silicone prosthesis used for more than ten years can be replaced. For example, after rhinoplasty, if high-quality expansion materials establish blood contact with autologous tissue, the rhinoplasty effect can be maintained for life.
