What to do if the nose prosthesis is crooked? What to do if the nose prosthesis is crooked?

Generally speaking, no matter what surgery we perform, there are certain risks. So, what should we do if the prosthesis of our rhinoplasty surgery is crooked? How should we deal with it? Let’s take a look today!

What to do if the nose implant is crooked

Normal people's noses are slightly crooked. If it is slightly crooked and does not affect the face, it does not need to be corrected. It is a normal phenomenon. If there is no fracture, surgery is not recommended. If the crookedness is serious, it is recommended to go to a beauty salon for surgical repair or re-rhinoplasty. If the nose is found to be crooked after the operation, it is recommended to go to a plastic surgery hospital for nose repair surgery to repair the failure of the first rhinoplasty. The difficulty of repair surgery is generally higher than the first surgery, so you must choose a regular and reliable plastic surgery hospital.

Things to note after rhinoplasty

1. Keep the injection site away from water for at least one week after surgery and apply antibiotic ointment daily.

2. Take oral antibiotics for 3-5 days to prevent infection.

3. Do not take collagen orally (thread embedding itself activates collagen production, and oral administration will cause the new tissue to become unbalanced and degenerate, leading to rapid apoptosis)

3. Do not wear frame glasses within 1 week, or preferably within 1 month; try to avoid gravity hitting your nose.

4. You cannot put on makeup immediately after thread-carving rhinoplasty, as the chemical components in the cosmetics can easily penetrate into the wound and cause infection.

5. Take ACMETEA (human-like peptide) twice a day to stabilize new collagen fibers.

6. The needle insertion site may become red or bruised, which can be improved by continuous ice compress.

7. Do not make big expressions or laugh for a few weeks, as you will feel something pulling you. Do not deliberately rub or press it with your hands or other means.

8. Do not rub or squeeze your nose bridge, and do not sleep on your stomach.

What is the best prosthesis for rhinoplasty?

There are several types of prostheses that we know of at present. The first is autologous cartilage; the second is the silicone prosthesis that we have been using for decades; the third is the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, which is gradually being recognized. In terms of economic value and later permanence, silicone prostheses have certain advantages. First, because the use of autologous cartilage for rhinoplasty requires the removal of cartilage from other parts of the body, which causes certain trauma to the human body; second, silicone prostheses have been proven to be harmless to the human body through decades of clinical practice, and the nose shape is good. If postoperative complications, infection, rejection reaction or poor morphology occur, it is easier to handle, because silicone prostheses are solid. After being implanted in our human body, they will not deform, and will not form dense adhesions with human tissues. That is, when we find a problem, we can immediately remove the silicone prosthesis without causing great harm to the human body. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is a new type of material. Because of its high degree of integration with the human body, infection, rejection reaction, and the process of removing the prosthesis, the prosthesis has formed dense adhesions with human tissues, making it difficult to remove, so silicone prostheses are more suitable for rhinoplasty.

How long after rhinoplasty can I sleep on my side?

You can sleep on your side about 2 weeks after rhinoplasty. If the wound heals well 2 weeks after rhinoplasty, you can sleep on your side. If the wound heals slowly, it is best to sleep on your side for a longer period of time, which is conducive to wound recovery.
