Unlike Westerners, Easterners have shorter noses, and rhinoplasty has always been the more common nose surgery done. Nowadays, rhinoplasty methods are becoming more and more diversified, and there are many choices for prosthesis. So, the question arises, how to choose the right rhinoplasty method and material for you? And what are the advantages and disadvantages of each way? Currently on the market, the main materials for rhinoplasty are: silicone material, expanded material, autologous cartilage and so on. First, silicone material medical silicone has high and low temperature resistance, chemical stability, good corrosion resistance and tissue compatibility, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, non-teratogenic, will not grow together with human tissues, is currently the longest clinical application, the most widely used and most widely used rhinoplasty materials, and if there are post-operative complications and the appearance of the undesirable situation can be easily dealt with, but also can make the nose shape back to its original shape, will not cause the skin of the dorsum of the nose. It can also restore the shape of the nose to its original form without causing skin relaxation of the dorsum of the nose. Silicone material is more conducive to shaping, inexpensive, low infection rate, rejection rate, and long maintenance time, which is a cost-effective rhinoplasty material. However, it also has shortcomings, when the tension of nasal tip reshaping is too high, the redness of the tip of the nose will occur, and it is not suitable for those who have a low and flat tip of the nose and a short nose. And the nasal bone is molded in one piece, which can’t press the tip of the nose to turn up naturally. Silicone gel prosthesis may cause allergic reaction for some allergic people. Silicone prosthesis hardness is hard, touch is not simulation, not natural, postoperative life need to pay attention to the protection of the nose, not to be strong impact, will produce impact displacement. Second, the bentonite material The bentonite material is softer than the silicone material, so the rhinoplasty is more natural, and there is no inflammatory reaction of redness at the tip of the nose after surgery. Expanded material has better tissue compatibility, the tissue can grow into the material, the long-term fixed. Moreover, it is easy to perform the surgery for those who have a second rhinoplasty or have a very thin nasal tip, and the postoperative result is good. With so many advantages, the disadvantages are also obvious. Expanded material is relatively expensive and is much more difficult to remove than silicone. Because of its softer texture, it is more difficult to sculpt than silicone and requires extensive clinical experience on the part of the surgeon. One of the most serious problems is that the infection rate is higher, easier than silicone, especially in the long term, the infection rate is much higher than silicone. Third, autologous cartilage Autologous cartilage tissue is the most commonly used tissue in rhinoplasty. Its main features are: it does not have blood vessels, it can survive by the nutrition provided by the tissue fluid, it has no stimulation effect on the tissue after implantation, it can maintain its original volume and cellular morphology for a long time, and it is easy to carve it into the required size and shape, so after the surgery, it has a natural and realistic appearance. Autologous cartilage material can be selected from autologous nasal cartilage, ear cartilage, rib cartilage, etc.. Advantages: 1, good compatibility and stability. It is easy to be fixed with the nasal tissue and will not be displaced; 2, it is its own tissue and will not be rejected; 3, it is less absorbed, and the absorption rate of autologous cartilage is low; 4, it has a realistic appearance and feel real. Disadvantages: 1, the operation is difficult, longer time; 2, there are side injuries, to remove the cartilage from their own body, there are wounds. Fourth, injection rhinoplasty Injection rhinoplasty main material for hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in human tissues, and by injecting hyaluronic acid into the nose for filling and shaping, you can achieve the effect of rhinoplasty, and the shaping effect is natural. Rhinoplasty is fast and convenient. The effect can be seen immediately after the injection, and the injection only takes about 20 to 30 minutes, which is very convenient. Injection rhinoplasty also avoids the risk of surgery, the safety degree has been greatly improved. Rhinoplasty injections are painless and do not require a recovery period. Rhinoplasty injections don’t require incisions, and the injections are like shots, without much pain, which is generally acceptable. Moreover, you can continue your normal work and life after rhinoplasty injection, and you can take care of it according to the instruction of experts, which will not bring inconvenience to your daily activities. Advantages: 1, the effect is natural and immediate, no need for recovery period; 2, no rejection of the human body. Disadvantages: 1, the role of a shorter period of time, can be absorbed by the body, can be maintained for 6-12 months, need to be intermittent regular injections; 2, the degree of rhinoplasty is limited, is not suitable for nasal bridge is too low seekers. Never pay attention to the following points: 1, the tip of the nose up to three times surgery (you do not want to Michael Jackson’s nose it!) ; 2, the dorsum of the nose many times surgery is no problem (the dorsum of the nose is a hard bone, can be many times surgery); 3, hyaluronic acid can not be done to shape the tip of the nose (hyaluronic acid clogging blood vessels may lead to nasal ulceration). Want to do rhinoplasty candidates must do more homework before surgery, to understand the necessary knowledge of rhinoplasty, and fully communicate with the doctor, and strive to create a tailor-made for you to meet the aesthetic standards of the perfect nose.
