How long can a prosthetic nose implant last?

Modern society is an era of appearance. Many women are born with collapsed noses or are dissatisfied with their noses. This will affect their personal image and make them feel inferior. Therefore, many people regain their confidence through prosthetic rhinoplasty, making the originally collapsed nose bridge straighter. But everyone wants to know, how long does prosthetic rhinoplasty usually last?

How long a nose bridge pad can last mainly depends on what type of material the patient uses. Generally speaking, rhinoplasty using autologous cartilage can last the longest, and it is possible to last a lifetime; if the nose is padded with a prosthesis, the price is generally lower and the duration of maintenance is slightly shorter than that of rhinoplasty using autologous cartilage.

At present, the commonly used prosthetic materials for rhinoplasty are mainly silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. However, due to the essential differences between these two materials, the maintenance time will be different, which requires specific analysis of specific situations!

Silicone rhinoplasty – lasts for decades

Silicone prostheses are relatively cheap, soft and elastic, and have a very obvious effect on shaping the nose. As long as you choose regular silicone prostheses for rhinoplasty, the effect can be maintained for a long time. Of course, for the sake of your own health and safety, it is recommended to replace the prosthesis every few years or ten years!

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis - the duration of maintenance is related to the doctor's skills

Due to its porous properties and biocompatibility, expanded materials can fuse with tissues after rhinoplasty. However, this also means that expanded materials have particularly high requirements for the surgical environment and the doctor's technical level. If an infection occurs during the operation, the prosthesis needs to be removed in a timely manner. If the surgery is successful and the individual takes good care of themselves, it can be maintained for a long time.

The implantation of any prosthetic material requires very high technical level of the doctor, hospital environment, etc., which is directly related to the retention time of the prosthesis. Therefore, here we remind you to choose a regular hospital and a professional doctor to perform nose bridge surgery, so that the effect of nose beauty can be maintained for a longer time!

Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is currently the most popular

Advantages of autologous cartilage rhinoplasty:

1. It is natural in itself.

2. No side effects.

3. The body will not reject the nose and the cartilage rhinoplasty will be no different from the natural nose, both visually and tactilely. Therefore, cartilage rhinoplasty has gradually gained popularity, and cartilage rhinoplasty can sculpt the shape of the nose at will. Satisfy any requirements of your nose. Cartilage rhinoplasty is divided into ear cartilage rhinoplasty, nasal septum cartilage rhinoplasty and rib cartilage rhinoplasty. The choice of cartilage material can be made according to the patient's needs.
