Rhinoplasty Q&A

Rhinoplasty is arguably the most common cosmetic surgery. This shows that nasal appearance plays a vital role in human beauty. It also shows that the general public is commonly accepting of rhinoplasty as a means to achieve cosmetic purposes. However, as more and more people undergo rhinoplasty, problems of one kind or another inevitably arise. As the materials used for rhinoplasty in China are mostly solid silicone rubber for medical use, here we will talk about several problems of solid silicone rubber rhinoplasty. About the swelling and stasis rhinoplasty surgery in the dorsum of the nose to separate out a cavity, and the silicone rubber prosthesis into it. Due to the trauma of the surgery itself, postoperative swelling and bruising are inevitable. The degree and duration of swelling and bruising varies between individuals and is directly related to the surgical procedure. Generally, swelling and bruising last for about a week. Therefore, if you want to undergo rhinoplasty, you should first arrange the time so as not to affect your normal work and life. In addition, postoperative cold compresses and hot compresses after 5 days will help the swelling and bruising subside. About the possibility of perforation of skin or mucous membrane and exposure of prosthesis after rhinoplasty. They are mainly found in the vicinity of the incision inside the nostrils and the tip of the nose. The main performance of the nostrils is that there is a small amount of secretion in the early stage, the formation of nasal scabs, and finally the silicone gel prosthesis is exposed or penetrated; in the tip of the nose, the early local bright, there is a sense of tension, and then gradually red and thin and perforated, silicone gel prosthesis is exposed or perforated, and there is often a small amount of secretion. These conditions are mainly related to the surgical operation. One is to separate the cavity is too shallow, the other is due to the prosthesis sculpture is too wide, too thick, too sharp, in addition to the postoperative impact also has a certain relationship. Therefore, once you find that the above situation occurs, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, so as to avoid infection, or larger perforation and skin ulceration, and the formation of scars. The most common complication after rhinoplasty is the distortion of the nose. The common types of nasal distortion are root distortion, axial distortion of the nose, tip distortion, and axial deviation of the nose. Some of the reasons for their occurrence are due to the patient’s own conditions, such as an incorrect nasal bridge axis, a crooked septum, and a crooked nasal columella. More often, it is caused by the surgery itself, such as small and incorrect separation cavities, incomplete separation cavities, uneven thickness, and poorly sculpted silicone prosthesis. It is worth mentioning that psychological factors can also fit into the nose “crooked”, absolute “positive” is not, only relative “positive”. Under the psychological suggestion, sometimes you may think that your nose is skewed to one side, so you should pay attention to this problem. If the nose is skewed, it can be reset by manipulation under the doctor’s guidance for mild cases, and can only be corrected by surgery again for severe cases. After rhinoplasty, it is important to ask about the harmony of appearance, and the same applies to rhinoplasty. First of all, it should be harmonized with other organs of the face, which is manifested in the height, width, curvature and so on of the nose appearance. Even if the appearance itself, there is also the coordination of the bridge and nose, the coordination of the bridge and nostrils and so on. For example, a round and blunt nose, and made a thin and narrow bridge is very ugly. Another example is a low forehead, and made a straight “through the sky nose”, so that the person show all the “evil” phase. Therefore, before rhinoplasty, you should put forward clear requirements for the appearance of your future nose and discuss with your doctor to find out a feasible plan, so that you can achieve satisfactory results. Regarding the surface projection of the prosthesis, in some cases, after rhinoplasty, other people can see that it is the result of the surgery at a glance, which is what people call “very fake”. That is, outside the skin, you can see the outline of the rhinoplasty prosthesis, that is, the surface projection of the prosthesis, and in the bright light, you can see the bridge of the nose “translucent”, but also with the hand to easily shake the nasal prosthesis, which is entirely due to the rhinoplasty prosthesis placed into the level of the shallow caused by. The only way to solve this problem is to have another surgery. The prosthesis is placed in the correct level. Based on the above reasons, the nose sculpture technique is reasonably applied, and the material used for rhinoplasty is bentonite, which is safe and natural, and at the same time, the tip of the nose, the nasal columella, the nostrils, and the nasal wings are refined.
