What should I pay attention to during nose correction surgery

A crooked nose needs to be corrected, and there are many reasons for a crooked nose. Depending on the different reasons, surgical reduction or manual reduction is often used. If surgery is required, edema will occur after the operation. At this time, anti-inflammatory treatment must be performed to avoid secondary infection. Antibiotics should be taken in time after the operation, and diet should be strengthened. Do not eat spicy and irritating foods, get enough rest, and maintain a cheerful mood. These will all help the treatment. In addition, when choosing corrective surgery, you must go to a regular hospital. This is also a prerequisite for ensuring the effectiveness of the treatment, so as to avoid plastic surgery turning into disfigurement due to poor surgery.

Precautions

1. Be careful when separating the nasal dorsum soft tissue and the septum mucosa and avoid breaking them.

2. When freeing the septal cartilage piece, it must be done thoroughly, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve a good correction effect.

3. When the front part of the septum is cut and the external suture is performed, it must be fine and dense, otherwise it may cause postoperative septum perforation.

4. When peeling and sawing the nasal bone, do not pierce the nasal mucosa to avoid infection.

Postoperative care

1. Apply antibiotics after surgery to prevent wound infection.

2. The gauze that blocks the nasal cavity can be removed within 1 to 2 days after the operation.

3. The proofing glue used to fix the external nose can be removed after 7 to 10 days.

4. If the bridge of the nose is not centered 3 to 4 days after surgery, it can be pushed to the center and re-fixed. However, the external nose should be prevented from being hit or pressed, which may cause the nasal bone to collapse again.

Indications

1. The nasal dorsum is crooked or tilted to one side.

2. Deviation of the external nose is an indicator of corrective surgery of the septum and nasal triangle. Whenever possible, the cartilage and bone of the nasal septum should be preserved. That is, because the nasal septum is the main supporter of the nasal dorsum, in some cases, it is also the cartilage donor area for subsequent surgery. If nasal obstruction is caused by nasal septum deformity, the diseased cartilage should be removed, and the septum should be formed and the external nasal deviation should be corrected at the same time.

3. For severe crooked nose and nasal obstruction, the entire nasal septum needs to be removed, and then the septal cartilage is cut and spliced ​​and re-implanted into the septum as a free cartilage piece.
