The risk of rhinoplasty is usually cosmetic surgery. According to the statistics of American Plastic Surgery Association, 10% of rhinoplasty operations need secondary operation or repair. The health risks of rhinoplasty include infection, nerve damage and poor appearance.

infect

This is a common problem faced by all surgical operations. Only after the aseptic technique is gradually improved and the infection is effectively controlled can surgery flourish. Rhinoplasty itself is a sterile operation. As long as the patient is healthy and has strong resistance, and there is no infection focus (such as folliculitis, furuncle, skin injury, etc.) at the operation site, the doctor will strictly implement aseptic operation during the operation, pay attention to postoperative wound care, and use antibacterial drugs to prevent infection if necessary. In addition, people's facial blood circulation is rich and their anti-infection ability is strong, which is also the reason why rhinoplasty is not easy to be infected.

Injure nerve

The nervous system of human body is the "communication system" of human body. The more nerve trunks and branches appear in different parts of the central nervous system, the thinner the branches are, and they spread all over the whole body "system", "region", "department" and "family" like cobwebs. Only when the continuity of nerve branches is interrupted, the subordinate "area" will be inaccessible, and the "center" will be paralyzed because it can't command the "place". The place where rhinoplasty is "constructed" is a "remote area", and there is no communication "cable" passing through it; Moreover, the nerves of the nose are distributed in the soft tissue layer, and the "structure" of rhinoplasty is just below it. Unless the doctor has never seen medical training, it is extremely unlikely that rhinoplasty will damage the nerves.

Poor appearance

Whether you can get a good-looking and satisfactory nose through rhinoplasty depends on the doctor's experience and technology. Frequently asked questions include:

The bridge of the nose is too narrow, not soft, and looks "fake" (unnatural), which makes people know that it is made at a glance;

The nasal root is too high, and some reach the forehead, forming the so-called "Tian Tong nose";

The nose root is high, the nose tip is low, and the appearance is indecent;

The face is slender, the nose is wide, the nose is stupid, and the facial proportion is out of balance;

My nose is crooked.

The above situation mostly occurs in rhinoplasty surgery (the statistics in the United States are 10%), which is related to the doctor's experience, the patient's own conditions and the later recovery nursing. Doctors are bound to make mistakes Plastic and cosmetic surgery calls these postoperative defects "secondary deformities after rhinoplasty". If the defect is obvious, you must have another operation to remove, repair or replace the silicone stent.

1. Trimming: If the shape of the nose changes from high to low, from long to short, from wide to narrow, and from crooked to straight, use solid silica gel to take out the bracket to correct the problem and put it back after reaching the ideal shape. This operation is simpler than the first operation, and there will be no obvious swelling reaction after operation, because the tunnel is ready-made

2. Replacement: If you want to change the nose shape from low to high, from short or narrow to wide, you must take out the old one and replace it with a new one. Rhinoplasty stents are generally carved in advance under the stage, sent to disinfection, and can be implanted after the operation (without trimming or slightly trimming). One of the advantages of this is that the operation time is short, and the other is that there is enough time to carefully carve the model under the stage. The "patient" sits next to the doctor, who observes while carving and puts the model on the patient's nose to see if it is suitable. If there is a problem, it can be repaired repeatedly until it is satisfactory. Replace the rhinoplasty bracket Because the old bracket covers the original shape of the nose, the doctor doesn't know what the replaced bracket should be carved, so it's best to bring the original photo before rhinoplasty so that the doctor can have a good idea when carving. Otherwise, we have to take out the old bracket on the operating table, which means that it is being designed and carved more than the original shape.

Necrosis of nasal tissue

After augmentation rhinoplasty with solid silica gel stent, there will never be large area necrosis of nasal tissue, but there are also local ulceration and necrosis, which is mainly due to the inexperience of doctors:

1, the tip of the stent was not smooth and sharp, but the tension was great, and the skin was very thin, and the patient did not pay attention to it (did not seek medical treatment in time). Finally, the skin was perforated and silicone was exposed;

2, the stent is too high, resulting in excessive skin tension on the back of the nose, leading to ischemic necrosis and rupture;

3. If infection occurs, timely treatment will lead to ulceration, which is the most serious complication of rhinoplasty. As long as doctors and patients pay attention to prevention, these problems can be completely avoided.
