The nose is the central organ of the human face and its height is the focus of the three-dimensional relationship of the face. It is the wish of many beauty lovers to have an ideal nose shape. At present, the common rhinoplasty methods mainly include rhinoplasty by injection and rhinoplasty by prosthesis, how should you choose the right rhinoplasty material? I will give you a detailed answer. What materials can be used for rhinoplasty? Silicone, tumescent, allogeneic or xenogeneic decellularized dermis, autologous cartilage (ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage, rib cartilage), allogeneic cartilage, autologous fat, hyaluronic acid and so on. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of various materials At present, the most commonly used rhinoplasty prosthesis is silicone and tumescent, for the network hype boiling over, silicone is not good, a few years later need to be removed to replace the statement, the correct understanding. Asian noses are lower, and the Western nose is different. The way we do nose is generally to raise the bridge of the nose, reduce the wings of the nose, reduce the head of the nose mainly. The main way to raise the bridge of the nose is to use prosthesis or your own bones, the materials you can choose are silicone, tumescent, allogeneic or xenogeneic decellularized dermis, autologous dermis, autologous cartilage (ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage, rib cartilage), allogeneic cartilage, autologous fat, hyaluronic acid injection and so on. First of all, silicone material is easy to sculpt, easy to plasticize, cheap and cost-effective. Its disadvantage is that post-operative translucency, shiny skin implantation and other conditions are easy to occur, as well as the rejection of the human body. Inflatable material rhinoplasty has no rejection, and the inflatable has microporosity, which is a better match with human tissue and can grow together completely. The disadvantage of this material is the higher rate of infection, easier than silicone infection, especially in the long term, the infection rate is much higher than silicone. The best material is your own rib cartilage, which is biocompatible, non-rejection, and has a more natural appearance after rhinoplasty, especially for surgeries requiring high skin tension. It is very suitable for plasticity. However, the disadvantages are also obvious, first of all, there are side injuries, which have to be removed from the body, and there are wounds. There is a possibility of deformation and in very rare cases, autologous absorption. Because of the hardness, the patient cannot do “pig nose” after surgery. Allogeneic or xenogeneic decellularized dermis is only used for smaller parts of the body and for patients who do not want to take the material, and allogeneic cartilage is rarely used at present due to psychological rejection, and is absorbed more after surgery. Autologous fat and hyaluronic acid are injected in, the appearance of three-dimensional sense is weaker, sometimes there will be a fleshy feeling. However, it is very convenient, especially hyaluronic acid has immediate effect, no recovery period, and you can leave after doing it. In contrast, autologous fat needs to be taken from the autologous body, which has a certain absorption rate and needs to be injected several times, and a recovery period is needed after the surgery. And hyaluronic acid must be injected in every year to come, the choice of materials is also very skillful, must choose a relatively hard and easy to plasticize the material. The hype on the Internet silicone is not good, tumescent is actually a kind of interest driven, silicone is cheap, cost-effective, while tumescent is expensive. And the legend of silicone needs to be replaced is also unrealistic, silicone material will become hard and brittle after 20 years, and used to raise the bridge of the nose will not be much force to break the twisted nose leading to prosthesis fracture, so the nose part does not need to be replaced, you can use silicone plastic.
