What should I do if I want to remove the implant after rhinoplasty?

Many young people will have rhinoplasty surgery. There are many ways to do rhinoplasty. In addition to autologous cartilage rhinoplasty, many people will choose prosthetic rhinoplasty, but prosthetic rhinoplasty is not permanent. After a certain period of time, you have to find a way to remove the prosthesis. In addition, if you feel discomfort in your nose, you also need to remove the prosthesis. At that time, you need to go to the hospital for rhinoplasty prosthesis removal surgery. The specific method of the operation is as follows.

What should I do if I want to remove the implant after rhinoplasty?

I believe that people who love beauty know the importance of the nose to appearance. A good-looking nose can not only add points to the temperament but also make the beauty fresh and refined. But I believe that all fairies have this question in their minds: Does the prosthesis need to be removed 10 years after rhinoplasty? Is it really difficult to remove the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene? Why is it recommended to choose autologous cartilage for the tip of the nose, etc. Let’s answer them one by one today

You will often see the phrase "the implant needs to be removed 10 years after rhinoplasty" on the Internet. People will mistakenly believe that the implanted implant only has a lifespan of 10 years, and thus worry about whether there will be safety issues. In fact, this issue should be explained from two aspects:

1. The implanted prostheses that have passed CFDA certification are all inert materials, that is, they do not react with the human body. Experiments show that many customers' prostheses removed after 10 years have not changed in shape, texture or color. Only a small number of prostheses have calcium salt deposits on their surfaces.

2. Many customers remove their implants because they are dissatisfied with the results. For example, the implant slides down due to gravity, causing the nasal muscles to rotate downward, the nasal implant is too high, causing redness, loose skin, and the possibility of the implant penetrating the nasal skin.

The first aspect shows that it is important to choose a qualified nasal prosthesis, which will not cause harm to your health. The second aspect shows that the doctor's skills are very important. A professional rhinoplasty surgeon can avoid situations where the prosthesis is not properly inserted or placed at an inappropriate level.

Is it difficult to remove the expanded tissue?

Nowadays, many hospital doctors will mention silicone and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene when introducing rhinoplasty prosthetic materials. These two materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the relative disadvantage of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is that it requires high technical skills of the doctor and is difficult to remove if the postoperative effect is unsatisfactory. There are three common incisions for rhinoplasty: the median vertical incision in front of the columella, the incision on the nasal margin of the columella, and the internal vestibule incision.

Nowadays, most customers will make an intranasal incision for the sake of aesthetics. If the customer is not satisfied with the result and wants to remove it, the doctor has to peel off the tissue and the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene under blind conditions, which will result in unclean peeling and even bring out tissue. But if it is an external incision, it is easy to remove it by an experienced doctor under visual conditions.

Advantages of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene

Silicone is indeed easier to remove than expanded polytetrafluoroethylene. The safe and smooth removal of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene requires two conditions:

1. Peel off and remove the expanded body under visual conditions through the external incision;

2. Experts must be very familiar with the organizational hierarchy.

Why is autologous cartilage recommended for the nose tip?

Except for a small amount of absorption, the autologous cartilage tip pad is superior to prosthetic materials in terms of shape maintenance, safety, and realism.
