Nose Foreign Body Removal Surgery…Accurate Diagnosis and Customized Surgery are Crucial

As cosmetic surgery becomes more common, illegal procedures by unqualified individuals are also being performed. It is advisable to avoid these illicit procedures, often referred to as ‘back-alley’ surgeries, which are tempting due to their low prices, as they carry a high risk of complications due to improper techniques.

Illegal procedures can leave unnecessary foreign substances in the treated area. In such cases, foreign body removal surgery is necessary to extract these substances and prevent more severe complications.

For nose augmentation, in addition to illegal procedures, unauthorized products injected into the skin layer can cause nose complications and inflammation due to foreign body reactions. In these instances, nose foreign body removal surgery is required to safely remove the inflamed tissue.

◆Types of Nose Foreign Bodies

Types of foreign bodies found in the nose include non-medical products such as paraffin, industrial silicone, illegal collagen, and petroleum jelly.

If such illegal products have been inserted into the nose, they must be removed through procedures like paraffin removal surgery or industrial silicone removal surgery.

Even if nose augmentation complications occur after procedures like fillers or fat grafting, these can be improved through facial foreign body removal surgeries, such as permanent filler removal. This also applies when dissatisfaction arises from implants not being placed in the correct position.

◆Nose Foreign Body Removal…Incisional and Non-Incisional Methods

Nose foreign body removal can be performed using either incisional or non-incisional methods, depending on the type of foreign body, the cause of complications, and the symptoms.

▲Incisional Method

Nose foreign body removal surgery using the incisional method must be performed after accurately identifying the location of the foreign body with an ultrasound.

It is advisable to proceed with minimal incisions to minimize damage and deformation to surrounding tissues.

▲Non-Incisional Method

For non-incisional nose foreign body removal, it is also crucial to accurately identify the foreign body’s location using an ultrasound.

After confirming the foreign body with ultrasound and accurately assessing the extent of complications, the procedure should be carried out in a way that minimizes damage to normal tissue.

Methods that dissolve the foreign body using lasers or injections can also be added. This method has the advantage of causing less tissue damage and scarring compared to the incisional method.

◆Precautions When Choosing Surgery?

If nose complications have occurred due to illicit surgeries, or if nose augmentation was performed with illegal products such as paraffin or industrial silicone, foreign body reactions can cause complications. Therefore, these must be removed through nose foreign body removal. A customized treatment plan that minimizes damage to surrounding tissues must be established based on the foreign body’s location, cause, and the extent of complications. It is crucial to choose a specialist with skilled expertise and have a thorough consultation to prevent complications such as uneven or sunken skin after surgery.

When selecting medical staff, choosing a team with clinical experience, sufficient know-how, and effective techniques for various nose augmentation complication cases can help ensure safe foreign body removal. When selecting a foreign body removal clinic, it is also advisable to carefully check whether the surgeon personally handles everything from consultation to surgery and if the clinic has a systematic post-operative care system.
