Introduction
Silicone rhinoplasty involves implanting a silicone prosthesis beneath the nasal fascia to elevate the nasal bridge and improve its shape. Whether the radix can recover three months after surgery depends on the individual's constitution and post-operative care. For individuals with good physical condition and proper care, recovery is usually achieved within three months. Conversely, if the individual has a poor constitution or improper post-operative care leading to local infection and inflammation, the recovery time may be delayed, and full recovery may not be guaranteed.
Generally speaking, the "Shan Gen" (nasal root) is located in the area between the two inner canthus of the eyes. Silicone rhinoplasty involves placing a silicone implant under the nasal dorsum fascia or periosteum to elevate the nasal bridge. The general reference price for silicone rhinoplasty ranges from ¥10,000 to ¥15,000 per session, with visible improvement typically occurring within 7 to 14 days, although symptoms such as swelling and pain may accompany the recovery. Whether the nasal root can return to normal within 3 months after silicone rhinoplasty mainly depends on individual conditions and postoperative care. If the individual's physical condition is good and proper care is provided, the nasal root usually can return to normal. However, if the physical condition is poor and postoperative care is inadequate, the nasal root may not fully recover. A detailed explanation is as follows:
If the individual has a good physical constitution with strong metabolic and healing abilities, and appropriate postoperative care is performed without local infection or adverse reactions, the nasal root typically can return to a normal state three months after silicone rhinoplasty. It is recommended to promote recovery through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and other appropriate methods.
However, if the individual has a weak physical constitution, slow metabolism, and poor recovery ability, and if postoperative care is improper, inflammation may occur, leading to symptoms such as inflammatory edema and exudation, which can result in poor wound healing and delayed recovery. Therefore, the nasal root may not necessarily recover within 3 months. It is recommended to timely follow medical advice and use medications such as amoxicillin capsules, cefixime dispersible tablets, or cefradine capsules for treatment.
To ensure safety, it is recommended to undergo the surgery at a formal and professional hospital. Regular follow-up visits after surgery are also necessary to adjust the rehabilitation plan timely according to the recovery status.
