Is prosthetic rhinoplasty dangerous?

Once patients decide to undergo rhinoplasty surgery, one of the issues they worry about most is the risks of the surgery. Because prosthetic rhinoplasty is also a plastic surgery procedure, it has certain risks, and in recent years there have been more and more cases of failure of prosthetic rhinoplasty, which has increased people's concerns about prosthetic rhinoplasty. Today's article will tell you about the dangers of prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery.

Rhinoplasty is no longer a major surgery and is very common. Among the methods of rhinoplasty, prosthetic rhinoplasty is the most commonly used. However, when it comes to plastic surgery, people always have doubts about its safety. So, let's take a look at the answers from professionals. Victoria experts point out that the risks of prosthetic rhinoplasty are as follows:

1. The prosthesis is light-transmissive. After rhinoplasty, the reflection of the nose is enhanced, allowing people who love beauty to feel the presence of the subcutaneous prosthesis.

2. The prosthesis is unstable or crooked. Generally, the sequelae of rhinoplasty are manifested as the outline of the implanted prosthesis being vaguely visible. When you touch the nose with your hand, you can feel the implanted silicone rubber nose bridge prosthesis shaking constantly under the skin.

3. The appearance after rhinoplasty is not ideal. That is to say, the patient is not satisfied with the shape of the rhinoplasty rhinoplasty, which is mainly caused by the lack of good communication between the patient and the doctor before the operation.

4. The prosthesis is exposed. The main manifestation is that the prosthesis penetrates the skin or mucous membrane of the nose and is exposed outside. However, the above-mentioned problems with prosthetic rhinoplasty are mainly caused by improper operation by the physician or the patient's failure to provide adequate postoperative care. So, under normal circumstances, there is no risk in prosthetic rhinoplasty. The most important thing is to go to a regular plastic surgery hospital for the operation, which is critical to ensuring the safety of prosthetic rhinoplasty.

In addition, postoperative care for prosthetic rhinoplasty is also very important to ensure the safety of the operation:

1. It is best not to let the wound come into contact with water after surgery. Because if the wound comes into contact with water and is not treated properly, it will become infected. However, you can wet a towel and wipe your face, but it is recommended not to use facial cleanser first;

2. Ensure the surgical site is clean to prevent infection. If there are blood scabs or secretions on the wound, wipe it with sterile saline;

3. Rest in a semi-recumbent position after surgery to facilitate blood circulation. Do not lower your head on the first day of surgery to prevent bleeding. Keep your head and back elevated when sleeping.

4. The nose will be swollen after the operation. You can apply pressure to the local wound or use an ice pack for cold compress, but the pressure should not be too high to avoid damaging the surgical site. The swelling will quickly subside after the fourth day, and the swelling will usually subside when the stitches are removed. The sutures are usually removed 6 days after surgery. If bleeding or severe hematoma occurs after surgery, you should go to the hospital for follow-up in time.

5. After rhinoplasty, you should rest in a quiet and comfortable environment, and avoid eating irritating foods such as chili peppers after the operation.

Therefore, as long as you go to a regular plastic surgery hospital for the operation and take precautions before and after the operation, prosthetic rhinoplasty will be very safe and there will be no risks, so you can rest assured to undergo it.
