What are the dangers of silicone chin prosthesis?

In daily life, as people's living standards improve, everyone's aesthetic standards are getting higher and higher. Many people are not satisfied with their appearance and use micro-plastic surgery to make themselves confident again. Among many cosmetic surgeries, chin plastic surgery is more popular. The most common one is silicone prosthesis chin plastic surgery, but this kind of implant is actually dangerous. What are the hazards of silicone prosthesis chin?

The main hazards of silicone prosthesis chin pad are:

1. It will cause facial paralysis or partial facial paralysis, because chin augmentation is a surgical method to place a sculpted artificial mandibular prosthesis into the mandibular area to beautify the mandible. Therefore, the surgery will damage the facial artery, external carotid artery, etc., causing bleeding and forming facial paralysis.

2. There will be incisions and scars after the operation. When implanting a prosthetic chin, the surgical opening must be a certain size and the pre-made prosthetic chin can be inserted, so there will definitely be surgical wounds. Some people will leave scars when the postoperative wound does not heal well due to different skin types.

3. Causes nerve damage. There are many nerves in the human skin. Neurology is the transmission of various reactions of the human body to the brain. However, when opening the mouth during surgery, the facial nerves are often injured. The nerves affected after surgery with a serious degree of damage will cause incoordination of facial expressions.

4. Surgical infection occurs. The chin augmentation surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia, and there is a certain possibility of complications of infection. If the silicone prosthesis becomes infected, it can be treated with antibiotics.

Therefore, after having a silicone chin pad, you must pay attention to personal hygiene, develop a regular diet, avoid spicy foods, drink cold water, etc., and never wash your face with cold water, and take good protection.

The dangers of chin augmentation

Stiff jaw

Silicone chin pads are relatively safe, but it also depends on the specific situation. Many people experience a hardening of their chin after using silicone chin pads. This is because the doctor's violent technique during the chin pad surgery causes excessive bleeding, which leads to a hematoma in the chin and causes symptoms of silicone capsular contracture (capsular contracture refers to the body forming a membrane that tightly wraps the chin prosthesis, which can become hard in severe cases). When you get older, the silicone implant in your chin will become hard after being installed for a long time.

Light transmission phenomenon

There are many kinds of materials for chin padding. Among them, the silicone material used for chin padding has a certain degree of irritation to our human tissue cells. It is composed of organic silicon molecules. This material will cause some changes in the tissues that are in contact with it over time, manifested as thinning of the skin and subcutaneous tissue or dilation and congestion of subcutaneous capillaries. Therefore, after padding the chin with a silicone prosthesis, the chin area can often be seen shining and translucent under strong light, giving people the illusion that the skin has become thinner.

Infection of expanded tissue

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is also a material that can be used for chin padding. The structure of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is composed of countless micropores, which form "dead spaces". Once bacteria enter, it is difficult to remove them by conventional methods such as flushing. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene containing bacteria will inevitably cause infection if implanted in the chin. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is soft and difficult to process. Some inexperienced doctors will prolong the time of carving the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene during chin padding surgery, which prolongs the time the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is exposed to the air. Since the air in the operating room cannot be absolutely sterile, the chance of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene being contaminated by airborne bacteria is greater than that of silicone. This makes many people feel the dangers of chin augmentation and infection when they are older.
