What should you pay attention to when removing silicone from rhinoplasty?

Nowadays, many friends who love beauty go to the hospital for rhinoplasty in pursuit of the beauty of their nose. This shows that people have accepted cosmetic surgery, which can be said to be a social progress. However, it should be noted that if a prosthesis is used for rhinoplasty, the prosthesis cannot stay in the nose for a lifetime. After a certain period of time, the prosthesis needs to be removed. The same is true for silicone prostheses, and some matters need to be paid attention to when removing them to avoid adverse consequences. So, what should you pay attention to when removing silicone for rhinoplasty? Next, experts will introduce some precautions after removing rhinoplasty silicone.

Precautions

After the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed, you should not press the tip of the nose hard and avoid wearing glasses. After the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed, oral antibiotics can be taken to prevent infection. After the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed, the patient should keep the position as high as possible. The eyelids and nose may show different degrees of swelling due to congestion and the trauma of rhinoplasty prosthesis removal. Generally, the rhinoplasty prosthesis will be removed about 4 days after the removal.

Postoperative precautions

Keep the wound clean and dry to prevent infection. Avoid getting the incision site wet within one week after the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed. Cooperate with the hospital for ice compress treatment within 24-48 hours after the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed. If there are special circumstances, contact the doctor in time. On the day after the operation, use intravenous antibiotics once, and take oral antibiotics for 3-5 days from the second day after the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed to prevent infection. Remove the stitches 5-7 days after the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed. Wu Wenyun, a comprehensive rhinoplasty expert at Yimei, reminds that you should pay attention to rest after the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed, avoid strenuous exercise, avoid hitting the wound, and do not pull any stitches and scabs. After the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed, it usually takes three to six months to recover. Of course, this is related to age, physical condition, and postoperative care. Generally, there are no sequelae once the prosthesis is removed. After removal, you may feel that your nose is more collapsed than before. Please don't worry about it. It is just the pressure of the prosthesis on the nose. It usually recovers in 2 to 3 months.
