What is nasal necrosis?

The problem of some patients after rhinoplasty is blackening of the nose or necrosis and these people are worried about the outcome of the surgery.. Of course, this complication is a very rare problem due to underlying disorders in the patient. In the following article, we will first introduce nasal necrosis and its causes, as well as its treatment and prevention. What is nasal necrosis? :

Nasal necrosis

Necrosis or darkening of the skin means the loss of living tissue, the amount of which depends on the size of the tissue. When, for any reason, the blood does not reach the tissues of the body and does not receive oxygen, it disappears and turns black.. Spot necrosis does not damage the nose, but if it reaches the nasal bone, it affects the outcome of surgery.

What causes nasal necrosis after surgery?

Nasal necrosis after surgery may be due to one of the following reasons:

  • Vascular disorders
  • Intranasal infection
  • Side effects of injecting and taking Rakutan before rhinoplasty
  • Excessive manipulation and destruction of nasal tissue by the surgeon
  • Injecting a non-standard gel into the nose or large amounts in the wrong place
  • جراحی ترمیمی بینی
  • استعمال دخانیات

How can nasal necrosis be prevented?

The only way to prevent nasal necrosis after rhinoplasty is to remove the layer of fat from the patient's skin correctly, because too much of it will disrupt the blood supply to the nasal skin and the pressure from the splint and glue will cause nasal necrosis..

What is the treatment for nasal necrosis?

Treatment of necrosis depending on the damaged tissue may be complicated and the patient may have several surgeries. The surgeon tries to replace the necrotic tissue with normal body tissue and uses other parts of the body such as the ear cartilage or rib cartilage.. In some acute cases, if a large part of the nose is lost, the surgeon will replace it with a prosthesis. Of course, there are some conditions for using a prosthesis, and that is that the injured area is completely repaired and the nose is not infected.. Any change in color and blackness of the skin does not mean necrosis, but sometimes this complication is due to anemia and temporary, and the necrotic tissue is gradually repaired..

In general, it is necessary to wait to determine the extent of necrosis, and if the vessel is under pressure, this pressure should be removed with reconstructive surgery..
