Is nose padding dangerous?

In real life, nose augmentation is a very common method of rhinoplasty for many people. Nose augmentation requires silicone material to fill the nose. However, nose augmentation is also dangerous to health and the body. It is easy to cause allergies, nasal discomfort, breathing problems, etc. It is also easy to cause the nose to become crooked.

Is nose padding dangerous?

Many friends who seek beauty have certain doubts and concerns about choosing silicone prostheses to perform rhinoplasty before undergoing surgery. This is mainly related to some adverse phenomena that are prone to occur after prosthetic rhinoplasty. In response to common and representative issues related to silicone prostheses, everyone can more clearly choose the rhinoplasty method and material that is suitable for them.

Brands and types of silicone implants:

There are different brands and types of silicone prosthesis rhinoplasty, mainly domestic and imported. Imported ones include: Korean Biotech Stage 2, Korean Biotech Stage 3, and Korean Biotech Crystal Color Series. In fact, domestic and imported silicone prostheses are essentially the same, and there is no difference between good and bad.

Will silicone rhinoplasty cause nose crookedness due to contracture?

Many people worry that silicone implants may cause capsular contracture. Silicone implants will definitely cause capsular contracture, but the contracture depends on the shape of the sculpture and the surgical method. In the past, L-type and I-type implants were too long, and after the capsular contraction occurred, they would stick to the skin of the tip of the nose, forming a reaction force, causing the implant to become deformed and crooked. Now the willow-leaf type is only used for the nasal dorsum, not the tip of the nose, and the force is almost 0, so the nose will not be deformed or crooked due to capsular contracture.

Will silicone rhinoplasty cause calcification? Do I need to remove it?

Some people worry about the problem of calcification when making silicone implants. After the silicone prosthesis is implanted in the nose, the tissue will produce a capsule to wrap the prosthesis. This is a normal phenomenon of the tissue. Calcification actually refers to the calcification of the capsule, not the calcification of the silicone itself. It usually takes about 20 years to appear, and capsule calcification does not necessarily occur in everyone.

If capsule calcification occurs at a later stage, the prosthesis can be simply removed, the calcified part of the capsule can be removed, and then the prosthesis can be implanted. This will not affect the effect of the rhinoplasty. However, this method is only applicable to segmented rhinoplasty.

Is it easy for silicone rhinoplasty to produce unnatural results?

Many people think that silicone prostheses are unnatural after shaping and have a strong prosthetic feel, so they prefer expanded polytetrafluoroethylene prostheses. In fact, the key to whether the shaping effect is natural depends on the doctor's skills, and the factor of the prosthetic material is very small. In clinical practice, we often encounter patients who have undergone expanded polytetrafluoroethylene prostheses and have poor postoperative shape, which is stiff and unnatural. This is mainly related to the doctor's prosthesis carving, prosthesis implantation, cavity stripping and other techniques. As long as the technology is sophisticated, silicone prostheses can completely solve the unnatural problem.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of silicone implants compared to expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implants?

Silicone prosthesis is a relatively safer rhinoplasty material. Although its tissue compatibility is not as good as that of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, its long-term effect is stable and there will be no infection. It is very easy to remove it if you want to. Although expanded polytetrafluoroethylene has better shaping effect and feel in the early stage, it has a high risk of infection. As time goes by, the appearance and feel of the nose will lose their realism, and the nose will become rigid and unnatural. It is very difficult to remove it, just like taking out a piece of your own tissue, which causes great damage to the nose. Moreover, the longer it stays in the body, the more difficult it is to remove it, like a time bomb.
