What are the sequelae of rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty is a very common surgery nowadays. The most direct benefit of rhinoplasty is that it can make our face more beautiful. So, does rhinoplasty have any side effects? Let’s take a look today!

What are the side effects of rhinoplasty?

1. Prosthesis displacement

It is manifested as the prosthesis deviating from the midline, local protrusion and bilateral asymmetry.

2. Excessive local pressure

This is mainly caused by the fact that the prosthetic columella made to elevate the nose tip is too long and has too much tension. In addition, it is caused by improper tissue removal or improper suturing when doing auxiliary correction of the nose tip and nose wing.

3. Poor appearance

Poorly made implants affect the shape of the nose. If it is too high, it will look stiff; if it is too low, the nose shape will not be improved much; if it is too narrow, it will look sharp; if it is too wide, the nose shape will not be beautiful enough and the forehead and nose will lack curvature.

4. Prosthesis contour shadow

After the operation, the shadow of the prosthesis outline will appear on the nose, and the prosthesis outline may even be clearly visible.

5. Floating prosthesis

That is, the prosthesis can be pushed left and right with the hands, making people feel uneasy.

Why can't you wear makeup after rhinoplasty?

Because everyone's recovery after rhinoplasty is different, you should not wear makeup during the recovery period if the following conditions occur:

1. Nose swelling: The nose will swell after rhinoplasty. The duration of swelling varies. It is not advisable to wear makeup during this period.

2. The nose has not been sutured: After rhinoplasty surgery, the incision will need to be sutured, and the time for removing the stitches varies. During this period, you should not wear makeup to avoid infection.

How to take care of silicone rhinoplasty to keep it permanent

1. Wound care for silicone rhinoplasty

In daily life, if you want to prolong the time after your rhinoplasty surgery, you need to pay attention to the care after rhinoplasty surgery. The first is the relevant requirements for wound care after rhinoplasty surgery. In daily life, after rhinoplasty surgery, you must remember to keep your wound in a clean and tidy state, and avoid infection. After rhinoplasty, patients should not use raw water to wash their faces, which will cause symptoms of wound inflammation and infection. When washing your face in daily life, you can choose some wet wipes and other materials to clean it. In addition, you must remember to use some disinfectants in time to help clean the wound to keep the wound in a sterile state. In daily life, you should also use some alcohol to wipe some blood clots and other substances on the wound to keep the wound clean.

2. Avoid squeezing the silicone rhinoplasty surgery area

The second way to maintain the nose after surgery is to remember not to touch the wound directly, and do not squeeze it hard, which will cause your nose to deform. In daily life, if there is bleeding and blood clots after surgery, do not use your hands to clean it. You can use some disinfectant to clean it. Do not squeeze your nose hard for about a week after the operation, which will cause deformation symptoms. In daily life, some appropriate care is needed after rhinoplasty to keep the rhinoplasty longer. Beauty lovers should not squeeze their noses, touch the surgical site, pick blood scabs, or touch their noses one week after silicone rhinoplasty, otherwise the unstable prosthesis will be deformed or moved. If blood scabs accumulate in the wound, they can be gently washed away with 3% hydrogen peroxide within 24 to 48 hours after the operation, and then washed again with saline, and a small amount of ointment or anti-inflammatory powder should be applied to keep the wound dry, waiting for self-healing, and the stitches will be removed in 5 to 7 days.

3. Avoid drastic facial expressions

Another issue that people who have undergone rhinoplasty surgery need to pay attention to in terms of maintenance and care is the management of their facial expressions. In daily life, when making facial expressions, do not be too exaggerated or large, and try not to wear glasses, as this will cause your face to become deformed, so you need to pay attention to this in daily life.

4. Diet after silicone rhinoplasty

People who have undergone rhinoplasty surgery should also pay attention to their diet. Generally, they should eat light food and avoid eating heavy-tasting ingredients. Ingredients that are too spicy or too salty are not recommended. Because the wound will become edematous under the stimulation of some heavy-tasting ingredients, the wound cannot heal normally, so you need to pay attention to this in your daily life.
