What should I do if my nose prosthesis is light-transmissive? It needs to be covered.

Many people do not know much before undergoing plastic surgery. They just want to have plastic surgery and become beautiful, but they do not understand the sequelae behind plastic surgery. So how should they deal with the translucency of the nose prosthesis? Let’s take a look today!

What to do if the nose prosthesis is light-transmissive

The surgery to remove the rhinoplasty prosthesis is performed under local anesthesia. An incision is made from the inner edge of the nostril to create a channel leading to the prosthesis. The prosthesis is removed and normal saline is injected into the original prosthesis cavity for cleaning. The incision is then sutured. Depending on the wishes of the person seeking beauty, the rhinoplasty can be redesigned and new prosthetic materials can be implanted.

After the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed, the nose tip should not be pressed hard and glasses should be avoided. Oral antibiotics can be taken after the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed to prevent infection. After the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed, the patient should try to keep a high position. The eyelids and nose may show varying degrees of swelling due to congestion and the trauma of the rhinoplasty prosthesis removal. Generally, the swelling begins to subside about 4 days after the rhinoplasty prosthesis is removed, and the swelling is basically subsided when the stitches are removed.

Because this operation has very high requirements for doctors, requiring doctors to have certain skills and sufficient patience, in order to achieve an ideal effect, it is recommended that you try to choose a regular large hospital and have experienced doctors perform the operation. Professional doctors will design appropriate surgical methods based on the actual situation of the beauty lovers themselves, so that their own safety and postoperative effects can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

What are the materials of your own 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.

Rhinoplasty surgery method

There are two main methods of rhinoplasty at present, one is prosthetic rhinoplasty and the other is injection rhinoplasty. Prosthetic rhinoplasty usually uses silicone prosthesis or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene for rhinoplasty. Injection rhinoplasty mainly uses hyaluronic acid or collagen for rhinoplasty. Different surgeries are selected mainly according to different physical conditions.

Is rhinoplasty permanent?

Comparing the tissue compatibility of silicone rhinoplasty and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty materials, both expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and silicone prostheses are relatively good, with high and low temperature resistance, good chemical stability, corrosion resistance, and tissue compatibility, and are non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and non-teratogenic. However, there are also a very small number of people who will have an immune response to silicone.

Due to the special structure of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty materials, blood vessels and nerves can gradually grow into the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, making the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and human tissue grow together, while silicone prosthesis cannot grow together with human tissue. After implantation, it may show a mild one-time inflammatory reaction locally, and later form a thin layer of fiber capsule around it. It is currently the most widely used and effective material in rhinoplasty. Therefore, the time for silicone rhinoplasty can be permanent. However, in order to better maintain the effect and safety of the nose, it is recommended to replace it every 10-15 years.
