Crooked nose repair: Why is the nose crooked after surgery?

First give a direct answer to whether the crooked nose can be repaired after rhinoplasty. The key is to distinguish the cause: if the prosthesis is displaced or the engraving is placed deflected, the position of the prosthesis needs to be readjusted or replaced; if the autologous cartilage power is unbalanced or the nasal septum is deviated, the nasal support structure needs to be rebuilt. Slight deflection in the early stage of surgery (within 1 - 3 weeks) can be observed first, and most of the swelling subsides and improves; if it is still obviously crooked after stabilization, it usually needs to wait for the nose to fully recover (usually more than 6 months) before secondary repair. First, the common cause of postoperative crooked nose "the nose is crooked" has different reasons, and the repair ideas are also completely different. Common causes include: Prosthesis displacement: improper peeling of the cavity, too large and too long prosthesis or external force collision after surgery, resulting in the prosthesis being biased to one side. Prosthesis engraving/placement deflection: The prosthesis itself is engraved asymmetrically...

Prosthetic capsule contracture: What should I do if the nose becomes hard and deformed?

Give a direct answer first Prosthetic capsular contracture is the excessive thickening and contraction of the fibrous capsules formed by the body around the prosthesis, resulting in hard nose, upward movement of the prosthesis, deformation of the tip of the nose and even pain. Mild (hard but acceptable appearance) can be observed and followed up first; obvious deformation, stiffness and pain are moderate to severe, usually requiring surgery to release or remove the capsules, remove or replace the prosthesis, and give priority to reconstruction of materials with better compatibility such as autologous cartilage. It will not subside on its own, and the more you drag the contracture, the tighter it becomes. First, what is prosthetic capsular contracture After implantation of the prosthesis, the human body will naturally form a layer of "capsules" around the prosthesis to wrap it, which is a normal foreign body reaction. Most people's capsules are soft and do not affect their appearance; but when the capsules overmultiply and contract and tighten, it will be like a hand gripping the prosthesis tighter and tighter, forming capsular contractures, which are manifested as a hard nose, displacement of the prosthesis, and...
