Infection and Contracture After Rhinoplasty

Causes of Infection and Contracture After Rhinoplasty

In reality, the rate of infection after rhinoplasty is quite low. However, it may still occur due to several factors such as non-sterile instruments, inadequate surgical techniques, poor-quality implant materials, or improper postoperative care. When an infection develops and is detected early, it can often be managed with appropriate antibiotics and soft tissue treatment. In more severe cases, the implant must be removed to fully resolve the infection before reconstruction.

Nasal contracture commonly develops when infection damages the nasal tissues, causing the tip area to shrink or retract upward. This may result in a pinched or upward-rotated nasal tip and visible nostrils, leading to noticeable nasal deformity.

Common Contracture Cases

Capsular Contracture
When the capsule surrounding the implant becomes infected or excessively inflamed, it may harden and contract, resulting in nasal shortening or distortion.

Multiple Previous Surgeries
Repeated rhinoplasty procedures using artificial implants can increase the risk of infection or damage to soft tissue / nasal cartilage, leading to scarring and nasal contracture.

Post-Infection Tissue Loss
When the nasal tip loses tissue volume due to infection, scar tissue can form and cause progressive retraction.

During the Infection Stage

Managing an infected and contracted nose requires a highly specialized surgeon. From accurate diagnosis and dermal-fat grafting to stabilizing the nose for future reconstruction, each step must be performed with precise medical control to prevent reinfection.

After the Infection Has Resolved (after 6 months)

Structural Rhinoplasty is the most effective method to correct contracture after infection, as it allows for complete reconstruction of the nasal framework – reinforcing the columella, reshaping the nasal tip, and restoring proper projection and length.

Revision Rhinoplasty Procedure at AZ NOSE

Clients begin with a one-on-one consultation with the surgeon to assess their nasal condition and discuss the most effective corrective approach. Before surgery, a comprehensive health check is performed to ensure maximum safety.

During the procedure, the surgeon skillfully reconstructs and reshapes the nose, allowing the client to preview the result before closing the incision and applying a nasal splint to stabilize and protect the new structure. Finally, all clients receive post-operative care following strict medical standards, minimizing the risk of complications and ensuring a smooth, safe recovery.
