How long can silicone rhinoplasty last?

As we all know, a beautiful and straight nose is actually very important to our appearance. Therefore, some girls will go to some beauty hospitals to have rhinoplasty so that they can make their appearance more beautiful. Nowadays, cosmetic hospitals will choose silicone for rhinoplasty filling. How long can silicone rhinoplasty last? Generally speaking, it can reach 20 years.

It depends on what material is chosen for silicone rhinoplasty. The materials for silicone rhinoplasty are divided into domestic, joint venture and imported, and the duration of their effects varies. For example, the effect of rhinoplasty with domestic silicone lasts for about 15-30 years. If the individual condition is good or higher-grade silicone is used, silicone rhinoplasty is basically lifelong. Rhinoplasty expert Dong Ping also pointed out that silicone is an implant material that has been verified by laboratory and clinical experiments. It has good tissue compatibility, is non-toxic and harmless, has strong plasticity, and is non-carcinogenic. In case of any problem, it can be completely removed without causing the skin on the nasal bridge to loosen, and the nose can be restored to its original state. If you want to continue to maintain the effect, you can rest or replace it. Therefore, even if the effect of silicone rhinoplasty expires, it can be removed and a second implant can be performed to maintain the effect.

Use two pillows to keep your head elevated when sleeping for 1 week after surgery. Ice packs should be applied within 72 hours after surgery to minimize swelling and bruising. Please do not apply pressure to the nasal splint during the cold compress; you can apply heat after 72 hours to help reduce swelling. When applying cold or hot compress, different parts should be applied alternately. Do not apply to the same part for more than 15 minutes to avoid frostbite or burns to local tissues. Swelling is normal after 48 hours. Severe swelling occurs approximately 48-72 hours after surgery. The swelling will be reduced by 60% within one week after the operation, and by 80% within one month. The remaining 20% ​​of the swelling will gradually dissipate within one year.

In the early days, your nose may feel stiff when you smile and not as soft as before the surgery. This will not be noticeable to others and will gradually return to normal over time. If you have pain, you can take oral painkillers such as ibuprofen, 1 tablet every 12 hours. If you don't have pain, you don't need to take medicine. Do not drink alcohol while taking pain medication. If you experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, rash, shortness of breath or diarrhea after taking the medicine, or if you develop a fever (body temperature over 37oC), redness of the surgical wound, increased pain, etc., please contact your doctor immediately. If you feel anxious, you can take 1 mg of diazepam every 8 hours during the first 24-48 hours. Do not take other sleeping pills while taking Valium.
