A few years ago, I underwent a nasal implant surgery at the hospital. Recently, I've been feeling some discomfort and am considering having the implant removed. What should I pay attention to before and after the implant removal procedure?

Prior to implant removal surgery, patients generally need to undergo a full-body examination at the hospital and maintain local cleanliness to prevent infection. Additionally, patients should avoid menstruation, lactation, and pregnancy periods to prevent adverse effects. Implant removal surgery usually causes trauma; therefore, patients should keep the wound area clean and dry and follow a light diet to prevent infection.
