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? At present, the main rhinoplasty materials on the market are: silicone material, expandable material, autologous cartilage and so on. Silicone material Medical silicone is resistant to high and low temperatures, chemically stable, has good corrosion resistance and tissue compatibility, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, non-teratogenic, and will not grow together with human tissues, which is the longest, most and most widely used rhinoplasty material in clinical application, and it is easy to deal with the post-operative complications and unsatisfactory appearance, and it can also make the nose shape return to its original shape, and it will not cause the dorsum of nose It will not cause the skin of the dorsum of the nose to slacken. Silicone material is more conducive to shaping, inexpensive, low infection rate, rejection rate, and long lasting, which makes it a more cost-effective material for rhinoplasty. However, it also has shortcomings, when the tension of the nasal tip plastic surgery is too large, there will be the symptom of redness of the tip of the nose, which is unsuitable for the people with low and flat nasal tip and short nasal bridge. 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. The hardness of silicone prosthesis is hard, the touch is not simulation, not natural, after the operation life need to pay attention to the protection of the nose, not to strong impact, will produce impact displacement. Expanded material Expanded material is softer than silicone material, so it is more natural after rhinoplasty, 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, and the long-term fixation is good. 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 the higher rate of infection, which is much easier than silicone, especially in the long term. 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 lifelike 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 and time is long; 2, there are side injuries, to take out the cartilage from the own body, there are wounds. Injection rhinoplasty The main material for injection rhinoplasty is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in human tissues. By injecting hyaluronic acid into the nose for filling and shaping, the effect of rhinoplasty can also be achieved, 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 do not 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, there will be no rejection reaction to 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 the nose bridge is too low beauty seekers. Never pay attention to the following points: 1, the tip of the nose up to three times; 2, the dorsum of the nose many times surgery is not a 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.
