What are the side effects of silicone rhinoplasty?

Using silicone to perform rhinoplasty is actually a very common practice, especially among those who love beauty, it can be seen everywhere. Although silicone rhinoplasty can help the nose achieve a better-looking effect, it will also bring certain side effects, such as prosthesis odor, rejection reaction, etc., which will affect the beauty of the nose and require further adjustment.

Not beautiful in shape

Specific manifestations: The nose bridge is too high, the nose bridge is too narrow, the frontonasal angle lacks curvature, and the nose curve is not stiff enough.

Cause: This situation is mainly because the doctor and the patient did not communicate well before the operation, the prosthesis was not carved properly, and the patient's expected effect was not achieved. Another possibility is the doctor's aesthetic ability and technical level.

Prosthesis displacement

Specific manifestations: Postoperative prosthesis instability is manifested by the vague visibility of the implanted prosthesis outline. When you touch the nose with your hand, you can feel the implanted silicone rubber nose bridge prosthesis shaking under the skin. A crooked nose is caused by factors such as the patient's crooked nose bridge axis, crooked nasal septum, and crooked columella.

Cause: Postoperative instability of the prosthesis is related to the doctor's surgical technique. During the operation, failure to stabilize the prosthesis or inadequate suture and bandage will affect the stability of the prosthesis. The main causes of nasal deviancy are improper separation of the prosthesis implant cavity during surgery, incomplete separation of the prosthesis implant cavity, prosthesis deviating due to the presence of a cable, asymmetrical prosthesis carving, and misaligned axis.

Rejection

Specific manifestations: Nasal edema does not disappear for a long time, and yellow liquid flows out of the incision, and the skin becomes red.

Cause: This situation is related to the individual constitution of the patient, and is more common in those with highly sensitive constitutions or poor compatibility of the prosthesis. If an individual is not suitable for the prosthesis, he or she should go to the hospital for a follow-up consultation in time. The prosthesis can be removed at an appropriate time depending on the situation, and the patient can consider whether to undergo rhinoplasty again after recovery.
