Does prosthetic rhinoplasty hurt?

Nowadays, most people want their facial features to be more three-dimensional, but Asians have a big facial defect, that is, the nose is generally not three-dimensional enough. At this time, some people will undergo rhinoplasty surgery. Rhinoplasty is a relatively low-risk plastic surgery with a relatively high success rate. Most people who undergo rhinoplasty are women. They will consider the question of whether using a prosthetic nose will cause pain.

First, let us briefly understand prosthetic rhinoplasty. Prosthetic rhinoplasty is a rhinoplasty method chosen by many people who seek beauty. Because of its safety, it is also recommended by many doctors. Prosthetic rhinoplasty is a procedure in which a prosthesis designed according to the patient's nasal condition is implanted beneath the nasal dorsum fascia layer to support the nose, thereby achieving the effect of a high and straight nose.

The method of prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery is mainly to make an incision at the edge of the nostril, use vascular forceps to separate the nose tip, nose dorsum, and nose root along the incision, form a tunnel to accommodate the stent, implant the rhinoplasty material into the tunnel gap, check the appearance to be satisfactory, and then suture the skin.

Is rhinoplasty painful?

Prosthetic rhinoplasty is very safe and there will be injection anesthesia, so it will not hurt at all. Prosthetic rhinoplasty surgery is performed under local anesthesia before the operation. Only a very small number of people who are particularly sensitive to pain, or those whose doctors are inexperienced and whose pain relief is incomplete, will feel pain and discomfort during the operation. There is generally no obvious unbearable pain after the operation, but some people may feel a tightness in the nose. Most people do not need to take pain relief measures after surgery, and doctors generally recommend taking anti-inflammatory drugs after surgery.

Generally speaking, after the anesthesia wears off after the prosthetic rhinoplasty, the patient will feel some pain, but it is still bearable. However, it varies from person to person, and everyone's pain level is different. So if the patient really feels pain, the doctor will let him take medication according to his condition, so don't worry too much.

Postoperative care is important to ensure better recovery. Pay attention to your diet after the operation, so you need to avoid spicy and irritating foods, and eat light foods; also pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking; in the early stage, do not let the wound area get wet, and be careful to avoid touching the nose hard, so be careful; do not do strenuous exercise; rest well so that the postoperative effect will be obvious. Generally, the effect will be obvious soon after the operation, but good care is still needed to make the effect more stable and the shape natural and beautiful. If you are not satisfied with the results of rhinoplasty, you should choose the best time to repair the failed rhinoplasty in time.
