People who are dissatisfied with their noses will have their noses reshaped. Nowadays, plastic surgery technology is very developed, and there are many methods of nose reshaping. Among them, rhinoplasty includes hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty and prosthetic rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty with autologous fat grafting. Prosthetic rhinoplasty is relatively stable, but it requires the use of good prosthetic materials to last for a long time. So, how long can prosthetic rhinoplasty last? .

1. How long can prosthetic rhinoplasty last?

Theoretically, prosthetic rhinoplasty can last for decades or even a lifetime.

Prosthetic rhinoplasty is to carve the prosthetic material to fit closely with the nasal bones, and then place the prosthesis perfectly under the dorsal nasal fascia, so that the effect of rhinoplasty can always be maintained. Prosthetic rhinoplasty is also favored by many people because of its time advantage.

2. Under what circumstances does the prosthesis need to be removed?

Although prosthetic rhinoplasty can be maintained for a long time, once these situations occur, the prosthesis must be removed in time:

1. After prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery, the postoperative recovery is very poor, and swelling, congestion, and pain occur for a long time. In this case, the prosthesis needs to be removed;

2. Prosthetic augmentation After rhinoplasty, the prosthesis appears to be skewed. From the appearance, the tip of the nose is incorrect, the bridge of the nose is bent, etc. At this time, the prosthesis needs to be removed;

3. After the prosthetic rhinoplasty, due to large impact or other reasons If the prosthesis is exposed, the prosthesis needs to be removed.

3. What kind of prosthesis lasts long?

The materials that can be used for prosthetic rhinoplasty include silicone, expanded body and other common materials. Among them, the effect of expanded material is better. It has many micropores, just like body tissue. With expanded material for rhinoplasty, the blood vessels and tissues can gradually grow into it. As time goes by, the expanded material can interact with the nose. The tissue is integrated, so the effect of such rhinoplasty will be better and the maintenance time will be longer. Of course, the cost will be higher.

4. Daily care affects the effect

Daily care also has a great influence on the effect of prosthetic rhinoplasty. Especially for postoperative care, avoid getting the wound wet early, avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy food, and avoid touching the nose too much. These may cause inflammation, redness, and swelling of the nose, which is not conducive to the recovery of the wound. For rhinoplasty surgery, Effects also have an impact. In addition, in daily life, the nose should be avoided from being hit by gravity to avoid skewing the prosthesis.

5. Side effects of prosthetic rhinoplasty

1. Wound infection

During the operation, there was no strict disinfection or daily care after prosthetic rhinoplasty. If it is not done properly, wound infection may occur. The body will experience fever, pain at the wound, etc. It is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.

2. Redness of the nose

It is relatively normal for the nose to become red and swollen after prosthetic rhinoplasty. Most of the time, the redness and swelling will subside within a week. However, if the lacunar stripping is insufficient or the layers are too shallow, or the tension of the implanted prosthesis is too high, the redness and swelling of the nose will not subside after a week. In this case, the surgeon must be consulted in time for relevant repair treatment.

3. The prosthesis is unstable

One of the sequelae after rhinoplasty is that the outline of the implanted prosthesis is vaguely visible. When you touch the nose with your hand, you can feel the implanted bridge prosthesis. The body is shaking under the skin, which may be caused by the nasal prosthesis being placed too shallowly.

4. Translucence of the prosthesis

After the prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery, the reflection of the nose is enhanced, which will make people feel the existence of the subcutaneous prosthesis, which often appears after the implant. After the silicone prosthesis was inserted, the nasal prosthesis was placed shallowly and the prosthesis was large.

5. Prosthesis skew

During prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery, the implant is not well fixed and will gradually slide down due to gravity. Deviation of the prosthesis is also another common sequelae, which manifests as the tip of the nose not being in the middle, or the upper and lower parts of the nose moving to the middle position. In both cases, a professional doctor should be consulted for re-repair.

6. Exposed prosthesis

Exposed prosthesis after rhinoplasty is a serious sequelae. The main symptom is that the prosthesis penetrates the nasal skin or mucous membrane and is exposed to the outside. If this happens, you must seek medical attention promptly.

7. Rejection reaction

Rejection reaction after prosthetic rhinoplasty is also a common sequela. It manifests as nasal edema that does not disappear for a long time, and yellow liquid flows out of the incision. In this case, rhinoplasty with autologous cartilage may be considered.
