What sort of infections can occur in rhinoplasty, especially with implants? Is infection avoided by work with sterile environments, tools, & grafting material (including implants)? How is infection treated after surgery? Can an infection cause changes in the nasal tip cartilages? If so, how are those treated?
Answer: Infection risk from rhinoplasty There is a very small risk of infection with rhinoplasty surgery, as there is with any surgical procedure. The risk is elevated if implants are placed during the proceure. Careful adherence to sterile processes, which is observed in all operating facilities, helps keep the risk as small as it is. Infections, if they occur, can oftentimes be treated after surgery with oral medications.

Answer: Infections in rhinoplasty Infection is unusual in rhinoplasty, but the incidence is greater if a nasal implant is used. I rarely use nasal implants, and think they are overused, personally.

Answer: What is an infection risk after rhinoplasty, what are the risks, and what is the treatment? Usually infection after a rhinoplasty is quite rare. If an implant is used the infection rate rises but that could be avoided by using autogenous material from the patient's body. Consult a plastic surgeron with a specielty in facial surgery and review B&A photos.

Answer: Infection Post Rhinplasty Infections are rare post rhinplasty. The use of avascular grafts can increase this risk, but the overall risk should still be low (2-3 %). The use of injectibles, silicone grafts, or open wounds from delayed healing can all increase the risk of infection. Seek a specialist in Rhinoplasty for further information. All the Best.
