How rhinoplasty is performed

  French philosopher Baskalou famously said: “If the Egyptian queen’s nose was not high, the history of the world might be rewritten”. The nose is located exactly in the center of the face, determining the balance of the entire face, its shape and height determine the beauty and ugliness, is the most prominent five facial features, nose fully display personality charm, affect a person’s appearance beauty, but also the focus of people’s attention.  Many women want to have a nose tip! It shows the beauty of playfulness, wit and beauty. From the perspective of plastic surgery, oriental faces are flatter, and Chinese people have mostly low and flat noses, especially in the south.  Rhinoplasty is one of the most significant plastic surgery procedures to improve appearance, and it is also one of the most common and popular cosmetic surgeries in China. Rhinoplasty can change the shape of a person’s face to a great extent and improve the coordination of the five facial features, and the three-dimensionality of the whole face is reflected in the nose. At present, the most common material for rhinoplasty at home and abroad is solid medical silicone rubber. It has the advantages of stable physical and chemical properties, non-absorption, easy shaping, low tissue rejection and no additional incision. Others such as autologous bone and autologous cartilage need to make incisions in other parts of the body, and they are not easy to be shaped, and the absorption rate is not fixed. Here we remind you that there are still some people who use the method of injecting liquid silicone for rhinoplasty, which was banned more than ten years ago. This method was banned more than ten years ago, because liquid silicone is prone to deformation, incomplete solidification and serious consequences such as skin breakage.  Most of the rhinoplasties are performed by making incisions inside the nostrils, and no traces are visible after the surgery. The surgeon sculpts a molded nasal prosthesis according to the candidate’s nasal shape and then implants it into the skin of the nasal dorsum.  The shape of the nose is changed by implanting the implant under the skin. Any change in the shape of the nose is based on the original nose shape of the individual patient. It is not necessary or possible to completely abandon the original nose shape and create a very different nose shape through rhinoplasty, for example, some people’s favorite “European nose” will look very abrupt if it is matched to an Oriental face. Therefore, it is important that you discuss in detail with your surgeon what shape you want your nose to be, and after examination and evaluation, the surgeon will tell you what you can expect to achieve with the surgery. In addition to your own condition, the surgeon’s experience, patience, aesthetic orientation and thorough communication with you are the keys to a successful surgery.  Plastic surgery is a fairly safe procedure when performed by an experienced cosmetic surgeon in a proper specialty hospital. A successful rhinoplasty is painless, scarless and virtually risk-free, in exchange for a significant improvement in appearance, a boost in temperament and a confidence that comes from within.
