What are the hazards of silicone rhinoplasty?
The nose is very important to individuals. It can not only help people breathe daily, but also make people smell the outside world. Of course, in addition, as an important part of the five senses, the shape of the nose also has a certain impact on people's appearance. Now some people are in urgent need of nose plastic surgery because of their bad nose shape. Nasal plastic surgery has a long history, and now one of the more popular ones is silicone rhinoplasty. However, there are some risks in implanting an external silicone prosthesis into the nose. So, what are the hazards of silicone rhinoplasty?

The main hazards of silicone rhinoplasty are:

1. Silicone prosthesis exposed. Most of them occur at the tip of the nose, sometimes at the root of the nose or in the nostrils. Because the prosthesis is too big, too long or the prosthesis slides down, the tension of the skin and soft tissue of the nose is too large to puncture the skin. When the filling material is hard, sudden external force can also pierce the skin, resulting in the exposure of the prosthesis. If the local suppurative infection is not treated in time, the prosthesis may be worn due to skin and soft tissue injury. Once it happens, the prosthesis should be removed in time.

2. Hematoma and infection appear. Swelling usually begins on the fourth day after rhinoplasty. If local swelling persists or worsens, the possibility of hematoma or infection should be considered. Before the hematoma is completely organized, the hematocele can be completely extracted under strict disinfection. If it cannot be removed, the prosthesis should be removed and the blood clot removed. Infection is mostly caused by lax aseptic operation during operation or infection focus in face and nasal cavity during operation. It is characterized by redness, swelling and pain centered on the nose. In severe cases, the body temperature and the total number of white blood cells increase.

3. Rejection, manifested as local painless swelling and effusion. If this is found, the prosthesis should be removed and the rhinoplasty should be filled with its own tissue. The prosthesis should be carefully cleaned before implantation to avoid adhesion between talcum powder and cotton fiber and reduce the occurrence of foreign body reaction.
