Rhinoplasty is the most common cosmetic surgery. Since more and more people are undergoing rhinoplasty, various problems have arisen. Here is a little analysis of common problems after rhinoplasty surgery.
Regarding swelling and bruising, rhinoplasty involves separating a cavity in the dorsum of the nose and placing a silicone rubber implant 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 from one individual to another and is directly related to the surgical operation. Generally, the duration of swelling and bruising is about one week. Therefore, if you want to undergo rhinoplasty, you should first schedule it so as not to affect your normal work and life. In addition, the cold compress within 24 hours after the operation will help the swelling and bruising to subside.
About exposed prosthesis: there is a possibility of perforation of the skin or mucous membrane and exposed prosthesis after rhinoplasty. They are mainly likely to occur near the incision in the nostril and the tip of the nose. In the nostril, there is mainly a small amount of secretion in the early stage, forming nasal scab, and finally silicone prosthesis is exposed or pierced out; in the tip of the nose, the early stage is locally shiny and tense, then gradually reddened and thinned to perforation, silicone prosthesis is exposed or pierced out, often with a small amount of secretion. These conditions are mainly related to the surgical operation. One is the separation of the cavity is too shallow, and the other is due to the sculpture of the prosthesis is too wide, too thick, too sharp, in addition to the postoperative impact also has a certain relationship. Therefore, once the above-mentioned letter is found to occur, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible, so as not to become suitable for infection, or a larger perforation and skin ulceration, the formation of scars.
About nasal distortion: nasal distortion is the most common complication after rhinoplasty. The common nasal distortions are nasal root distortion, nasal bridge axis distortion, nasal tip distortion, and nasal bridge axis deviation. Some of the reasons for their occurrence are due to the patient’s own conditions, such as nasal bridge axis misalignment, nasal septum distortion, and nasal small column distortion. More often, they are caused by the surgery itself, such as small and incorrect separation of the cavities, incomplete separation of the cavities, uneven thickness, and poorly sculpted silicone implants. It is worth mentioning that psychological factors can also be appropriate into the nose “crooked”, the absolute “positive” is not, only the relative “positive”. Under the psychological implication, sometimes the nose will be considered crooked to one side, so attention should be paid to this problem. If the nose is skewed, it can be reset under the doctor’s guidance in mild cases, but in heavy cases, it can only be corrected by surgery again.
About appearance: Harmony is beauty, so is rhinoplasty. First of all, it should be coordinated with other organs of the face, which is expressed in the height, width, curvature and so on of the nose appearance. Even in terms of appearance itself, there are issues such as the coordination between the nose bridge and the nose, and the coordination between the nasal bridge and the nostrils. For example, a round and blunt nose with a thin and narrow bridge is very unsightly.
Another example is a low flat forehead, but made a straight “through the nose”, so that the person is showing the “evil” look. Therefore, before the rhinoplasty, you should put forward clear requirements for your future nose appearance and discuss with the doctor to come up with a feasible plan, so that you can achieve satisfactory results.
About the projection of the body surface of the prosthesis: some people can see at a glance that it is the result of surgery after rhinoplasty, which is what people call “very fake”. That is, outside the skin, you can see the outline of the rhinoplasty prosthesis, that is, the projection of the body surface of the prosthesis, and in strong light you can see the nasal bridge “translucent”, you can also easily shake the nasal prosthesis with your hand, which is entirely due to the rhinoplasty prosthesis placement level is too shallow. The only way to solve this problem is to operate again. The implant will be placed in the correct level.
What kind of nose needs rhinoplasty treatment?
The human nose occupies a very important position in the composition of the face. Due to racial characteristics, there are many people in China, especially women, whose nasal shape does not meet the aesthetic standards, such as low nasal bridge, nasal dorsum with different degrees of concavity (saddle nose), low nose, straight nose, mild hump nose, low nasal tip and so on. Rhinoplasty can change a person’s mental outlook greatly and make them look beautiful and elegant. However, rhinoplasty can only partially change the shape of the dorsum and tip of the nose, and cannot create the desired shape of the nose as you wish, and there are many other factors that affect the overall effect of the surgery. Therefore, it is important that you discuss in detail with your surgeon what shape you want your nose to be, and after examination and evaluation, your surgeon will tell you the possible results of the surgery.
How is rhinoplasty done?
A nasal implant is designed and sculpted according to the shape of your nose. An incision is made at the nostril margin, and the implant is separated and placed under the dorsal nasal fascia, which takes about 20-30 minutes. Most of the rhinoplasty incisions are made inside the nostrils and no traces are visible after the surgery. The implants are made of materials with good compatibility with human tissue. The stitches are usually removed 7 days after surgery. Rhinoplasty can improve and beautify one’s facial appearance to achieve facial harmony, elegance and clarity. However, since it is not easy to remove the liquid material after it is injected into the human body, we recommend not to use the “injection method of rhinoplasty”.
What materials are used for rhinoplasty?
After long-term clinical observation by plastic surgeons, the most ideal material is considered to be silicone rubber. It is extremely stable and will not react with other substances; it is non-toxic, carcinogenic and teratogenic; it is soft and easy to sculpt and plasticize; its biggest advantage is that it can be removed completely after the surgery when the patient thinks the appearance is not ideal, without leaving any defect. At the same time, it is also the cheapest. Therefore, the majority of patients who receive rhinoplasty currently choose silicone rubber.
Precautions before rhinoplasty surgery –
Having a rhinoplasty is probably one of the most important choices you will make in your life, so be sure to consider it carefully. If you can’t decide on your own, discuss it with the person who knows best. In order to learn more about it, it is best to interview people who have already undergone the surgery in addition to books to understand the real situation, clear up doubts and help make up your mind. The decision to have the surgery should also be made with the consent of the parents, lover or partner. After that, the most important thing is to choose a trustworthy medical institution or doctor to perform the surgery for you. Do not go to the doctor blindly to avoid adverse consequences.
If you understand the general knowledge about rhinoplasty and find an experienced doctor to do the surgery for you, you will be able to feel confident and secure about the surgery, eliminate your fears and be calm and take the initiative to cooperate with the doctor to achieve a good wish.
Rhinoplasty is the art of shaping human appearance. In order to ensure a safe and smooth surgery, it is most important to prevent the occurrence of infection. Therefore, there should not be any (bacterial) lesions in front of the surgery: folliculitis, boils, acne, acute ophthalmia, sinusitis, rhinitis, nasal vestibule boils, etc. To prevent infection, women should not have the procedure during their menstrual period. In addition, it is best to take a shower the day before the surgery and wash off the dirt and grease from the face with soap before going on the operating table on the day of the surgery to minimize the number of bacteria, and to cut nasal hair and clean the nasal cavity before the surgery. Having other diseases in the body before the surgery, which cause low resistance, can also easily lead to infection and affect the healing of the wound.
How to protect after rhinoplasty surgery
1, try to avoid getting water on the surgery site within 7 days after rhinoplasty surgery;
2, to ensure the cleanliness of the surgical site to prevent infection. If there is blood crust or secretion on the wound, use sterile saline to wipe it.
3.After surgery, you can put pressure on the local wound or use ice bag to apply cold compress, but the pressure should not be large to avoid damaging the surgical site. Once bleeding and serious hematoma occur after surgery, follow up with the hospital in time;
4. There should be a quiet and comfortable environment for recuperation after surgery. Avoid weight-bearing and thus aggravate the wound swelling;
5.The wound will be painful on the day of surgery, but it will gradually decrease with time. Patients should not rush to take painkillers, because aspirin-like drugs can aggravate wound bleeding;
6.Avoid eating irritating food such as chili;
7, strictly comply with the doctor’s orders to take medication and follow-up.
