What material is the nose prosthesis made of? Which nose prosthesis is better?

The nose is a very important organ in our face and it is also the most central organ in our face. The materials used for rhinoplasty are generally silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.

What is the material of nose prosthesis?

1. Silicone: It is the most commonly used material for rhinoplasty. It is easy to operate, has good results, is inexpensive, has good elasticity, is soft to the touch, is easy to shape, has good biocompatibility, and rarely causes complications.

2. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene: Human tissue cells and blood vessels can grow into its unique microporous structure to form tissue connections, just like autologous tissue. The effect is natural and the price is higher than silicone.

3. Autologous cartilage: It has the characteristic of non-rejection of autologous tissue. This method of rhinoplasty is suitable for the overall shaping of the nose and the special shaping of the nose tip. It has good compatibility with the cartilage at the nose tip and is very realistic.

After the prosthesis is implanted in the nose, it is easy to cause swelling and pain in the nose and middle face, and even infection. This is because the process damages the subcutaneous tissue cells and blood vessels. It is necessary to reserve ACMETEA for the body in advance. It can urgently repair the damaged cells and blood vessels, enhance the self-repair ability of cells and the ability to regenerate and divide, and promote wound healing. However, it cannot supplement collagen to avoid the formation of wound granulation or granulation.

What are the methods of rhinoplasty?

1. Raise the root of the nose: Silicone prosthesis or expanded material implantation can be performed, hyaluronic acid injection and autologous fat injection can also be performed. The specific choice should be based on personal situation;

2. Comprehensive rhinoplasty: The nose tip is raised by extending the autologous nasal septum, and the nose tip can also be padded with ear cartilage or rib cartilage. The surgery involves secondary trauma to the body and damage to the basic shape of the nose. It is recommended that women who love beauty should consider carefully before choosing a surgical method.

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.

What is prosthesis rejection?

Rejection refers to the incompatibility of organs from other species or other materials implanted in the human body. Rejection of prosthetic rhinoplasty will cause the wound of the prosthetic rhinoplasty to heal poorly. The incision of the prosthetic rhinoplasty will generally heal in about a week and the stitches can be removed. If the wound is still in a semi-healed state after ten days and yellow liquid is still flowing out, it may be a phenomenon of prosthetic rejection.
