Hello~

​

💛your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💛

​

To make facial features more defined or because they are unsatisfied with the shape,

many people decide to undergo rhinoplasty.

​

In the past, surgical methods using implants like silicone to elevate the nose were very common,

but due to side effects such as inflammation and capsular contracture, an increasing number of people are looking into implant-free rhinoplasty.

​

Today, we have prepared a Q&A session on whether implant-free rhinoplasty can also cause contracture.

​

Can implant-free rhinoplasty also cause contracture?

​

When silicone is used, a capsule forms surrounding the silicone implant.

If micro-inflammation occurs repeatedly in this area, the capsule hardens and shrinks, causing the nose to shorten—a phenomenon known as capsular contracture.

If the surgery is performed using only autologous tissue without any artificial implants, this capsule does not form.

Therefore, it is safe to say that the probability of long-term inflammation or contracture is virtually nonexistent.

Did this resolve your curiosity about whether implant-free rhinoplasty causes contracture?!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does non-implant rhinoplasty prevent contracture?

Yes, you can consider the probability of contracture to be almost zero. When surgery is performed using only autologous tissue without implants, a capsule around the silicone does not form, so the long-term possibility of inflammation or contracture, where the nose shortens, is very low.

What is the contracture phenomenon that occurs after rhinoplasty?

Contracture refers to the phenomenon where the nose contracts and shortens. When silicone implants are used, a capsule forms around them, and if microscopic inflammation repeatedly occurs in this area, the capsule hardens and contracts, leading to contracture where the shape of the nose is deformed.

What materials are used for non-implant rhinoplasty?

Surgery is primarily performed using the patient's own autologous tissue. Since artificial implants like silicone are not used, a capsule due to a foreign body reaction does not form in the body, which significantly reduces the risk of side effects such as inflammation and contracture.

What are the main side effects of silicone implant rhinoplasty?

Typical side effects include inflammation and contracture. When silicone, an artificial implant, enters the body, a capsule forms to protect it. If inflammation repeatedly occurs in this area, there is a risk of the capsule contracting and the nose becoming upturned or shortened, leading to shape deformation.
