With the popularity of plastic surgery, more and more people are choosing to undergo rhinoplasty surgery to improve their facial shape. Rhinoplasty surgery makes the entire face more harmonious and aesthetically pleasing by changing the contour and proportions of the nose.
However, although rhinoplasty surgery can achieve significant results in terms of appearance, there are also certain risks and uncertainties.
1.Surgical infection: Rhinoplasty is a procedure that requires incision and manipulation, so infection can occur after surgery. The risk of infection is further increased if antibiotics are used inappropriately before and after surgery, or if hygiene is poor during surgery.
2.Surgical failure: Sometimes the surgical results may not be as expected, and the nasal shape is still unsatisfactory, resulting in dissatisfaction with the surgical results. This may be due to inaccurate preoperative evaluation, unskilled surgical techniques, etc.
3.Anesthesia risks: Rhinoplasty usually requires local or general anesthesia, which may cause adverse reactions such as allergies, dyspnea, and cardiovascular instability during anesthesia. Although this is rare, there are still some risks.
4.Bleeding and hematoma: Bleeding from the nose may occur after surgery, and in rare cases, a significant hematoma may occur, resulting in swelling and pain in the nose. Severe bleeding and hematoma may require further management.
5.Harm to smell and breathing: Rhinoplasty involves the tissues and structures inside the nasal cavity and can affect smell and breathing function after surgery. The effects are usually temporary, but in rare cases, permanent problems may occur.
6.Post-operative scarring: Rhinoplasty requires incisions and stitches in the nose, which can leave a scar after surgery. In general, rhinoplasty surgical incisions are generally located on the inside of the nostrils, and the scar is relatively insignificant. However, in some cases, scarring or scarring may occur.
7.Psychological stress: Rhinoplasty is a type of cosmetic change, which may increase the psychological pressure on patients. Postoperative discomfort and inconvenience during the recovery period can have an impact on the patient's psychological state.
While there are certain risks associated with rhinoplasty, the risks of the surgery can be reduced by choosing the right hospital and doctor, and by following post-operative care guidelines. Here are a few things that are key to reducing risk:
1.Choosing a Qualified Doctor and Hospital: Rhinoplasty is a complex procedure that needs to be performed by an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon. Choosing a regular hospital with a good reputation and strict surgical management can greatly reduce the risk of surgery.
2.Detailed preoperative evaluation: Before deciding to undergo rhinoplasty, the physician should conduct a detailed nasal evaluation to understand the individual differences and expectations of the patient and avoid postoperative dissatisfaction.
3.Adequate preparation: Relevant examinations, such as blood routine and electrocardiogram, are required before surgery to rule out potential health problems. At the same time, patients should also stop using certain medications, such as anticoagulants, early according to the doctor's advice.
4.Post-operative care: After surgery, you should follow the doctor's instructions for diet, rest and nose care, and avoid excessive activity and nasal collision.
I once came into contact with a friend who had rhinoplasty and was not very happy with her nose and wanted to improve it through surgery.
She was very deliberate in choosing a hospital and doctors, and through consultation and face-to-face communication, she finally chose a hospital with a good reputation and professional qualifications.
After the surgery, she took care of her according to the doctor's advice and recovered smoothly after the surgery. She is very happy with her new nose and is aware of the risks and uncertainties involved in the procedure.
In my opinion, surgical procedures such as rhinoplasty need to be treated with caution. Although the incidence of surgical risks is relatively low, problems can arise with any surgery.
Therefore, before deciding to undergo surgery, it is necessary to carefully assess the needs and expectations of the individual and choose the right hospital and doctor for consultation and communication.
At the same time, the postoperative care and recovery period also need to strictly follow the doctor's guidance to reduce the risk and ensure the effectiveness of the surgery.
In conclusion, although there are risks associated with rhinoplasty, it can achieve satisfactory and safe results by taking into account individual needs, doctors' skills, and precautions.
For those who have a clear need and have the support of a plastic surgeon, rhinoplasty can be an effective way to improve their appearance. But in any case, we need to be fully aware of the risks of surgery and mentally prepared to make an informed decision.
