Risks of Nasal Silicone Implant Removal Surgery

After rhinoplasty, it is often requested to take out the silicone gel prosthesis due to unsatisfactory form, wound infection or prosthesis rejection, etc. Taking out the prosthesis within a short period of time will not affect the nose too much in general. However, since there may be some risks in any surgery, extra attention should be paid to the following points: 1. Diffusion: the way of removing liquid silicone and solid silicone is different, because liquid silicone is easy to diffuse, and the existence of remnants in the nose is very dangerous, so in order to remove it completely, it is necessary to ask an experienced doctor to carry out the operation, and it must not be done in a sloppy manner, or else it will be dangerous. However, it should be noted that injection of liquid silicone and isoacrylamide and other gel-like substances have now been banned, the current safe and effective is hyaluronic acid and collagen; 2, infection: solid silicone is a whole, as long as the removal of the problem of clean and unclean, relatively simple. However, due to its open surgical operation, infection is a frequent occurrence in any traumatic surgery, which may be due to the unstrict preoperative aseptic operation, and may also be caused by the lack of in-place postoperative care; 3. Nasal scar hyperplasia contracture or even deformity: Generally the initial rhinoplasty removal will not be contracture, and the chances of hyperplasia contracture will increase with multiple surgeries. Therefore, patients need to take oral antibiotics for 3-5 days as prescribed by doctor after the prosthesis removal surgery, ensure the wound area is clean and dry, and prohibit water to prevent infection; prohibit pressing the tip of the nose with force, and avoid wearing glasses; avoid smoking, drinking and eating spicy and stimulating, seafood and other foods. In addition, there may be tightness or swelling in the early postoperative period, which does not require special treatment and will subside in 1-2 months.
