How big is the risk of rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgery that has become popular all over the world, because many people think that a high nose bridge is very beautiful and makes people look more energetic. Therefore, people with flat nose bridges will undergo rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty is divided into silicone prosthesis rhinoplasty, thread rhinoplasty, hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty and other methods. No matter which method is used, postoperative care is very important. So how big is the risk of rhinoplasty?

Risks of rhinoplasty

1. Beauty lies in harmonious appearance : First of all, the nose should be coordinated with other facial organs, which is reflected in the height, width, curvature, etc. of the nose. Even in terms of appearance itself, there are problems such as the coordination between the nose bridge and the nose tip, and the coordination between the nose bridge and the nostrils. For example, if you have a blunt nose tip but a narrow nose bridge, it will look very ugly.

2. Exposure of the prosthesis: There is a possibility of perforation of the skin or mucous membrane and exposure of the prosthesis after rhinoplasty. It is mainly prone to occur near the incision inside the nostril and at the tip of the nose. The hazards of this type of prosthetic rhinoplasty are mainly manifested in the nostrils as a small amount of secretions in the early stage, forming nasal crusts, and finally the silicone prosthesis is exposed or penetrated at the tip of the nose. In the early stage, the local area is shiny and there is a feeling of tension, which gradually turns red and becomes thinner until perforation. The silicone prosthesis is exposed or penetrated, and there is often a small amount of secretions. These conditions are primarily related to surgical procedures. One is that the separation cavity is too shallow, the other is that the prosthesis is too wide, too thick, and too sharp. In addition, it is also related to postoperative impact. Therefore, if you find any of the above conditions, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid infection, larger perforation and skin ulceration, and scar formation.

3. Swelling and bruising: This is a very common complication of prosthetic rhinoplasty, because the rhinoplasty operation requires separating a cavity on the dorsum of the nose and inserting the silicone rubber prosthesis into it. Due to the trauma of the operation itself, postoperative swelling and bruising are inevitable. The degree and duration of swelling and bruising vary between individuals, which is directly related to the surgical procedure. Generally, swelling and bruising last about a week. Therefore, if you want to undergo rhinoplasty, you should first arrange your time so as not to affect your normal work and life. In addition, cold compress after surgery and hot compress 5 days later can help reduce swelling and blood stasis.

4. Crooked nose: It is the most common complication after rhinoplasty. Common nasal deviations include nasal root deviation, nasal bridge axis deviation, nasal tip deviation, and nasal bridge axis deviation. Some of the causes are due to the patient's own conditions, such as crooked nose bridge axis, distorted nasal septum, crooked columella, etc. Most of them are caused by the operation itself, such as the separation cavity being too small and irregular, the separation cavity being incomplete, the thickness being uneven, and the silicone prosthesis being poorly sculpted. It is worth mentioning that psychological factors can also cause the nose to be "crooked". There is no absolute "straight", only relative "straight". Under psychological suggestion, sometimes people think that the nose is crooked to one side, so we should pay attention to this problem. Mild crooked nose can be corrected under the guidance of a doctor, while severe cases can only be corrected by surgery again.
