If your nose lacks sufficient height, rhinoplasty can perfect its appearance. For many Chinese, the nose symbolizes wealth; an upturned nose may be perceived as revealing one's fortune and is often considered unattractive. Those considering cosmetic surgery should be aware of potential postoperative complications.
Implant Rhinoplasty
Implant rhinoplasty involves using specialized materials to elevate a low or concave nasal bridge. Incisions are typically made within the columella or nostrils. After implant placement, the incision is sutured closed.
Below are potential complications from improper rhinoplasty:
1. Infection
The porous structure of implant materials allows blood vessels and tissue to grow within the micro-pores. This environment is conducive to bacterial growth, making infection highly likely. Such infections can cause incisions to rupture, exposing the hardened implant.
2. Difficulty in Shaping
Although the implant material is soft, it lacks elasticity and three-dimensionality, making it hard to sculpt. It is not ideal for supporting the columella or nasal tip.
3. Difficulty in Removal
Tissue and blood vessels grow into the micro-pores, making removal extremely complicated. The ease of implant removal is an important criterion for evaluating its quality.
4. Prone to hardening
While the implant material boasts exceptional softness initially, it hardens significantly after nasal insertion. Tissue ingrowth causes it to lose its original suppleness, gradually becoming rigid.
By selecting a reputable cosmetic surgery hospital, surgical risks can be entirely avoided, so there is no need for concern. At accredited facilities, complications are generally preventable.
