Normally, rhinoplasty lasts a lifetime.
Currently, rhinoplasty is a relatively mature procedure that is usually performed with either prosthesis or autologous cartilage, and the prosthesis as well as the cartilage will not atrophy, age, or need to be replaced over time. Therefore, as long as there are no obvious complications such as localized distortion, exposure or infection, or rejection, they usually do not need to be replaced and can be placed for life.
However, if the patient’s nasal tissues are chronically inflamed or if there are problems with the prosthetic material used, this may result in wound infection, which may necessitate reimplantation of the prosthesis. At the same time, if the patient is not too satisfied with the results of the surgery, he or she may also be able to have the rhinoplasty implant re-implanted.
Therefore, if patients want to undergo rhinoplasty, they should go to a regular hospital for the surgery and under the operation of a professional doctor to avoid adverse consequences.
