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...
