The probability of infection

Before undergoing rhinoplasty cosmetic surgery, patients have many options to choose from, which mainly depends on the rhinoplasty material selected by the patient. A very popular rhinoplasty material in recent years is expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty. The expanded polytetrafluoroethylene used in expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is widely used in the medical field. However, one disadvantage of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is that it is prone to infection. Today, we will introduce the infection rate of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty.

Why is the expanded body prone to infection?

Why does expanded polytetrafluoroethylene get infected? Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is made of polytetrafluoroethylene and was used in artificial blood vessels, artificial cardiac pericardium and other applications in the early days. It is a very safe material for human implants. However, some people say that expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is prone to infection. This is mainly because the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material itself has many microporous structures. If there is bacterial contamination during the operation, the bacteria can easily enter and are difficult to be removed. If medical staff fail to strictly control the disinfection and sterilization process during rhinoplasty surgery and have a weak sense of sterility, it is particularly easy to cause problems caused by expanded polytetrafluoroethylene infection.

On the contrary, if the beauty seeker undergoes rhinoplasty in a regular medical institution, there will be a sterile operating environment, and in this case, there will be no infection when doing expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty. Generally speaking, when a doctor with superb skills and strong awareness of sterility performs expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty on a beauty-conscious person, there will be no infection in the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty.

Will the expanded body get infected?

Irregular surgical environment leads to expanded tissue infection

In fact, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene will not cause infection due to its own materials. Infection after expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is generally inseparable from the surgical environment. The surgical environment is not formal and has not undergone strict sterilization and disinfection, which will lead to infection at the location where the expandable tissue is placed. People who love beauty usually choose to undergo expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty surgery in regular medical institutions and hospitals, which can greatly reduce the risk of infection in the surgical environment.

Limited technical skills of doctors lead to infection of expanded tissue

Infection during expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is likely related to the doctor's surgical skills. If the doctor fails to carve the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene into the correct position in one go and repeatedly places and removes the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, it will be exposed to the air for a prolonged period of time and may be contaminated.

Patient care errors leading to expanded tissue infection

After undergoing expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty, if the patient keeps the habit of picking his nose and trimming his nose hair, the nasal mucosa may be damaged and ruptured, and bacteria will invade the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene tissue along the middle of the palm tree, thus causing infection. After having expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty, those who love beauty should always pay attention to personal hygiene in daily life, avoid picking their noses with their hands, and use sterile cotton swabs to wipe unclean areas, so as to avoid expanded polytetrafluoroethylene infection caused by care errors.

How to avoid infection of expanded tissue

To prevent the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene from getting infected in the plastic surgery area, aseptic operations are required in many aspects, including the doctor, surgical environment, anesthesia requirements, surgical instruments, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene placement, and postoperative care. Among these factors, except for postoperative care, the factors are beyond the control of the patient during the operation. Therefore, choosing to have the expanded body placed by a professional doctor in a regular hospital can better avoid the expanded body from being infected by bacteria.

How long can the expanded body be stored in the body?

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is an inert material and has no lifespan. It is the body's own tissues and skin that have a lifespan, so expanded polytetrafluoroethylene will not become necrotic. As a material for artificial blood vessels and cardiac peritoneum, the material properties of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene determine its safety. From this perspective, there is no problem in storing expanded polytetrafluoroethylene in the body for many years. However, it is generally recommended that expanded polytetrafluoroethylene should be checked after being stored for 5-8 years. After all, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is a prosthesis and may cause the skin to become thinner or its position to shift over time. Therefore, if expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is stored in the body, regular checks are required.
