What are the features of the new rhinoplasty?

  For rhinoplasty, the application of materials is an eternal topic. The emergence of polymeric biomaterials such as silicone seems to put an end to this topic, but although these materials have the reputation of having excellent biocompatibility with the human body, they are still foreign to the human body and there is still a risk of causing atrophy and degeneration of the skin of the nose and thus causing skin breakdown and exposure of the prosthesis in large quantities. Because of this, some people try to replace artificial materials such as silicone with their own materials such as rib cartilage, but this method increases patient pain and surgical risks, not to mention an ordinary rhinoplasty with rib cartilage, can not be said to be a regression in technology, rib cartilage rhinoplasty before the emergence of polymer materials, the application of polymer materials such as silicone is to replace rib cartilage to reduce the patient’s pain, there are available materials not to use the original The rhinoplasty technology has gone back to the past, and the research of polymer materials has become an ineffective input for human beings, which is a bit absurd. Of course, there are people who try to use injectable materials for rhinoplasty, but they are either proven to be harmful and unhelpful, such as Omnidene, or they can only do patchwork materials such as hyaluronic acid, which is more commonly used at present. Autologous fat material is abundant and less risky, but it is difficult to use it to inject a more ideal nose shape, one is too soft, and the other is a problem of survival after injection. Therefore, although silicone and other polymer materials are not perfect, rhinoplasty cannot be done without them yet.  In that case, is there no way to circumvent the risk of skin damage by doing rhinoplasty? Of course not, the problem is not insurmountable with a few adjustments to the strategy of application of these materials. The placement of polymeric materials such as silicone can cause skin damage to the nose, but only if too much of this material is used, that is, if the volume of the implant placed is too large, in which case only a lot of tension will be generated under the skin, causing skin degeneration. If the volumes used are small, that is, they are no longer the main protagonists, no longer the materials that mainly play the role of augmentation and support, the risk of them causing such changes is greatly reduced. The reduced volume of the prosthesis can be replaced by other materials that are more compatible with the human body or can even become part of the human tissue, allowing this material to be the main protagonist of the rhinoplasty. This is the strategy of complementing one’s strengths and weaknesses.  Complementing the advantages of different materials to shape the form and ensure safety and good aesthetics, this is in line with the concept of healthy aesthetics.
