Rhinoplasty has gained popularity in modern times, offering a solution for those dissatisfied with their nasal appearance. However, witnessing numerous successful cases often leads people to assume rhinoplasty is guaranteed to succeed, resulting in a careless attitude toward the procedure.
What are the precautions for rhinoplasty?Below is an introduction to the precautions for rhinoplasty:
1. Shower the day before surgery. On the day of surgery, wash your face with soap to remove dirt and oil before going into the operating room, minimizing bacteria. Trim nose hair and clean the nasal passages before rhinoplasty. If you have other illnesses before surgery that lower your resistance, it can increase the risk of infection and affect wound healing.
2. Rhinoplasty is an art of facial contouring. To ensure surgical safety and prevent infection, it is crucial that the face be free of any bacterial foci causing inflammation—such as folliculitis, boils, acne, or acute conjunctivitis—prior to surgery. To avoid infection, women should not undergo rhinoplasty during their menstrual period.
3. This remains the public's greatest concern regarding cosmetic surgery. People worry about risks associated with procedures like rhinoplasty or breast augmentation that use fillers, fearing implanted prosthetics may harm the body.Whether beauty has an expiration date largely depends on the surgeon's choice of filler material. Numerous materials exist for rhinoplasty procedures. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE, also known as G-Teks) is a safe subcutaneous implant. It is easy to shape, provides a more natural appearance for procedures like rhinoplasty (compared to silicone), and offers superior tissue compatibility, making it a promising material with broad application prospects.
