Symptoms of rhinoplasty rejection

With the progress of society, the cosmetic surgery industry is also booming. Many people choose to have plastic surgery in order to change their appearance flaws. The most common cosmetic surgeries currently are eye surgery and nose surgery. This is especially true for rhinoplasty, because changes in the nose can have a huge impact on a person's appearance. It can be said that by replacing a tall nose, a person's appearance can immediately improve by 30 points. However, rhinoplasty surgery is not perfect and there may be some rejection reactions.

Among the side effects of prosthetic rhinoplasty, rejection is a problem that everyone is very worried about. Because I don’t know when this situation will occur or when this problem will exist. If you want to know about the rejection reaction of rhinoplasty implants, then take a look.

1. Edema does not go away

The most obvious reaction to prosthetic rhinoplasty rejection is persistent edema. Generally, the edema of the nose will significantly subside about half a month after the prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery, and it will almost completely subside about one month after the surgery. If the edema in the nose has not subsided after a month, or has not subsided significantly, you need to observe it carefully and go to the hospital for examination to rule out infection. If the infection is eliminated, it is a rejection reaction. Rhinoplasty rejection is just like an egg allergy in a crowd of people. It may only happen to one person out of 100,000.

2. Wounds do not heal

Rejection reaction of prosthetic rhinoplasty will cause the nasal wound of prosthetic rhinoplasty to heal poorly. The incision of a prosthetic rhinoplasty will generally heal in about a week and the stitches can be removed. If after ten days the wound is still in a semi-healed state and yellow liquid is still flowing out, it may be a sign of prosthetic rejection.

3. Redness of the nose

The most obvious reaction to prosthetic rhinoplasty rejection is redness of the nasal dorsum, but there is no redness, swelling, heat or pain. The rejection phenomenon varies from person to person. For some people, it may occur right after the prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery, while for others, it may occur one or two years after the surgery. Redness of the dorsum of the nose is an obvious sign. If the redness of the nasal dorsum does not subside after one month after prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery, or if the nasal dorsum suddenly becomes red after one or two years, it is a typical prosthetic rhinoplasty rejection reaction.

4. How long after rejection can I have a new operation?

If rejection occurs during rhinoplasty, it is recommended to remove the prosthesis immediately. However, it is recommended to wait at least three months after the prosthetic material is removed before undergoing prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery. First, it is to reduce the sensitivity of the nasal organs. Second, it is to allow the soft tissue of the nose to recover better, which will be conducive to the second rhinoplasty surgery.
