How long can silicone last in the nose

Silicone rhinoplasty is a relatively common method of prosthetic rhinoplasty. Silicone can make a person's nose firmer, but we know that silicone has a shelf life in the human body. Generally, silicone noses can be placed in the nose for a relatively long time. Silicone noses are an inert material and generally will not oxidize and deteriorate. Of course, it should be understood that after 5 to 10 years of placement, inspection is required. If there is no problem, prevention and treatment can continue. Regular check-ups are very necessary. The characteristics of the nose at home are also more obvious. The material of the silicone nose is also safer and more reliable, and it is easy to remove, and the advantages are also more obvious.

Features of silicone nose

1. Silicone material is safe and reliable

Silicone rhinoplasty began in 1972 and has a history of more than 40 years. It is a rhinoplasty method that has been clinically verified.

2. Silicone rhinoplasty is more cost-effective

Silicone materials are CFDA certified and available in a variety of models and specifications, both imported and domestically produced, with relatively low prices.

3. Silicone rhinoplasty has good shaping effect

Silicone rhinoplasty prosthesis is a formed nose prosthesis. It has the basic shape of the nose and can be carved arbitrarily based on it. It has good flexibility and elasticity and a strong three-dimensional effect.

4. Silicone rhinoplasty is easy to remove

The surface of the silicone prosthesis is smooth and does not grow together with the tissue, so it is relatively easy to remove it if you are not satisfied with the rhinoplasty result without causing any damage to the surrounding tissue.

Why do silicone noses need to be removed?

The reason why a silicone nose needs to be replaced is not actually because there is a problem with the silicone prosthesis, but because the surrounding tissue has reacted to the silicone, causing the skin to become thinner or its position to move. It is not because the prosthesis has deteriorated that it needs to be removed.

In what cases does the silicone nose need to be removed?

Reason 1: The silicone material must be removed due to some complications of rhinoplasty.

Reason 2: Dissatisfaction with the shape due to aesthetic or other external reasons. If the height of the nose or the bridge of the nose changes, the bridge of the nose becomes crooked, or the tip of the nose hangs down, the silicone needs to be removed.

The silicone nose can be used again after it is removed

Generally speaking, if the silicone of a silicone nose needs to be removed for a series of reasons, it can be reused after adjustment. Because there is no time limit on the use of silicone materials. Whether it is L-shaped silicone or willow-shaped silicone. As long as there is no change in shape or inflammation in the nose, or no movement or dissatisfaction with the patient, there is no need to remove the implant.
