Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

Today, we have prepared answers to some of the questions people frequently ask about rhinoplasty.

Q. Why Does a Contracted Nose Develop? Can Lifestyle Habits Also Have an Effect?

A contracted nose develops when continuous, excessive contraction occurs due to factors that prevent the soft tissue inside the nose and the capsule surrounding the implant from stabilizing properly.

  • Main causes of a contracted nose
  1. Infection or chronic inflammation: When inflammation or infection persists, excessive scar tissue forms, causing contracture to progress.

  2. Bleeding or hematoma: These increase the risk of contracture because they can promote bacterial growth and inflammation.

  3. Foreign-body reaction: When the capsule becomes thick in response to the implant, the risk of contracture increases.

  • Effects of lifestyle habits

Factors such as overwork, smoking, and drinking, which can interfere with wound healing and worsen inflammation, may increase the risk of contracture.

Repeatedly putting pressure on the nose or subjecting it to external impact can also increase the risk of contracture by irritating the tissue.
