What are the side effects of nose surgery?

Nowadays, plastic surgery is not a rare thing, especially nose surgery. Rhinoplasty can make your nose firmer and more beautiful. However, after the nose surgery, everyone should pay attention to protecting the nose to avoid deformation or infection caused by collision or direct contact. So, what are the side effects of nose surgery?

Causes

1. Caused by improper materials

Rejection reaction may occur after solid silicone rhinoplasty, accounting for 2% to 3% according to statistics, and manifested as swelling and redness of the skin somewhere in the nose or the mucosa on the side of the columella.

2. Patient's own condition

If the nasal bone, nasal septum cartilage or nose tip are crooked, the filled nasal prosthesis may also be crooked. Even if asymmetrical carving is used to correct it, it is difficult to achieve a satisfactory effect. If one nasal bone is higher than the other, the nasal prosthesis may easily become crooked.

3. Caused by improper surgery

(1) Hematoma: It is mostly caused by damaged blood vessels. If not treated, the blood clot is prone to secondary infection or organization, affecting the appearance.

(2) Infection: It is caused by failure to meet hygiene standards and requires appropriate use of antibiotics. In severe cases, the nasal prosthesis needs to be removed for drainage and antibacterial treatment.

(3) Crooked nose: The nasal prosthesis tunnel separated during surgery is not straight, or the prosthesis is not made perfectly.

Clinical manifestations

1. Prosthesis displacement

It is manifested as the prosthesis deviating from the midline, local protrusion and bilateral asymmetry.

2. Excessive local pressure

This is mainly because the columella of the prosthesis made to raise the nasal tip is too long and has too much tension. In addition, it may be caused by inappropriate tissue removal or improper suturing when performing auxiliary correction on the nose tip and nose wings.

3. Poor appearance

The prosthesis is poorly made, which affects the shape. If it is too high, it will appear stiff; if it is too low, the nose shape will not be improved much; if it is too narrow, it will appear pointed; if it is too wide, the nose shape will not be beautiful enough and the forehead and nose will lack curvature.

4. Prosthesis contour shadow

After the operation, the shadow of the prosthesis outline will appear on the nose, and the prosthesis outline may even be clearly visible.

5. Floating prosthesis

That is, the prosthesis can be pushed left and right with the hands, making people feel uneasy.

treat

1. Prosthesis removal

Make an incision at the edge of the nostril, separate under the skin, and remove the prosthesis.

2. Eliminate factors that affect the position of the prosthesis

Prosthesis displacement may be caused by the deflection of the nasal bone at the base, or it may be caused by the asymmetry of the two sides when the subnasal dorsal fascia cavity is separated. Therefore, it is necessary to re-strip this cavity to achieve symmetry and perform crooked nose correction as needed.

3. Prosthesis trimming

The removed prosthesis will be trimmed or replaced with a new one and inserted into the subnasal dorsum fascia space after satisfactory trimming according to the patient's requirements. If the prosthesis tension is too high before surgery, the length and height of the prosthesis need to be appropriately trimmed, and cartilage transplantation should be performed at the tip of the nose.
