[에톤TV] Rhinoplasty, Soft Silicone: Why Does Capsular Contracture Occur?

Rhinoplasty, soft silicone.

Why does capsular contracture occur?

Silicone implants used in nose surgery,

just thinking about them may make them seem somewhat hard,

but

silicone used these days

is much more

soft and flexible than you might imagine.

In fact, when you touch it,

its softness can be surprising.

Even though this soft silicone

is placed inside the nose,

why do some people

suffer from a condition called “contracture,”

in which the nose becomes hard?

Contracture ultimately occurs when inflammation or infection

continues subtly and for a long time.

It can be regarded as a kind of defensive response

that occurs as the body reacts to a foreign substance.

So, what can be done

to prevent this type of contracture?

In fact, there is not much an individual can do

other than “taking good care of their health.”

However, the role of the medical team performing the surgery

is extremely important.

During surgery, it is essential to operate cleanly

while causing minimal tissue damage,

and to carry out thorough disinfection and sterilization

to prevent infection or inflammation.

If preventive measures are needed,

medication should be used in advance,

and if treatment is already necessary,

it is important to use antibiotics

to break the cycle of inflammation.

Silicone used in nose surgery

is originally soft,

and contracture occurs when inflammation and infection persist for a long time.

Thorough sterilization and disinfection by the medical team,

along with appropriate medication,

are important.

If you are considering nose surgery,

please keep this in mind and make a wise choice.

Thank you. 😀
