I've heard that
if there's no inflammation for 6 months after plastic surgery, it's relatively stable
...
Then I thought about the fact that donated ribs, ear cartilage, and nasal septum
are functional objects that are separated from the body...
I wondered if they eventually become contracted because they melt (absorb) in
the mid- to long-term due to temporary or chronic inflammation depending on the body's condition
. In addition to the initial large absorption.
There's no body that's completely free of inflammation, and it occurs more as you age, so
I wondered if the materials (donated ribs, ear cartilage, and nasal septum) are wearing out no matter how firmly they
are installed.
If so, the concept of semi-permanent only applies to silicone, and
I wondered if contraction would occur at some point and a second surgery would be necessary... Does anyone know about this issue? There
's no article anywhere about the lifespan and wear of donated ribs, autologous ribs, ear cartilage, and nasal septum, and
the word semi-permanent is only used for silicone...
