First, rhinoplasty with prosthesis

Prosthetic rhinoplasty is mainly to implant a medical solid silicone prosthesis or bulge under the fascia of the back of the nose, so as to bulge the bridge of the nose or the tip of the nose and change the shape of the nose. The characteristics of silica gel and swelling are as follows:

Silicone: As an early implant prosthesis, silicone material is easy to carve and has strong plasticity; But also has good safety and is not easy to be infected; Higher cost performance and stronger selectivity; If you are not satisfied with its effect, it is more convenient to take out the materials.

Bulging: its material is softer and the postoperative effect is more natural; Because there are many micropores in the swelling, the nasal tissue may grow into the material, which has good long-term stability and the prosthesis is not easy to shake. But it is precisely because of this feature that if the swelling is not satisfied with the effect, it will cause certain damage to the surrounding tissues when it needs to be taken out.

Second, autologous cartilage rhinoplasty

Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty usually uses costal cartilage, auricular cartilage and nasal septum cartilage to improve the shape of nose. Different cartilage materials have different characteristics and applicable parts, which are introduced as follows:

Costal cartilage: Costal cartilage material is generally used at the bridge of the nose, because it has a certain hardness, can support the back of the nose, and has low absorption rate, easy survival, good compatibility with nasal tissue, and is not prone to rejection, but taking costal cartilage may leave scars under the chest. In addition, the removal and carving of costal cartilage requires doctors' skills, and the operation time is longer than that of simple rhinoplasty, and the recovery time is longer.

Ear cartilage: Ear cartilage is generally used at the tip of the nose, because it is relatively small and soft, and generally cannot support the nasal dorsal tissue. It is usually used with other materials, and the common collocation is usually prosthesis. Putting auricular cartilage on the tip of the nose can prevent the prosthesis from slipping, which is beneficial to protect the nose and prevent the perforation of the tip of the nose. It can also be matched with costal cartilage, because costal cartilage is hard and auricular cartilage is placed at the tip of nose, so the touch will be softer and more natural.

Third, hyaluronic acid rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid is mainly achieved by injecting hyaluronic acid into the nose and then shaping it.

Hyaluronic acid is a kind of safe material, because hyaluronic acid originally exists in human body, and it will be degraded and absorbed after being injected into human body, so it is relatively safe; Moreover, hyaluronic acid is injected, with little trauma and only pinholes and redness, so there is basically no recovery period and it will not affect normal work and life; Generally, it can be performed without anesthesia, but people who are sensitive to pain can apply topical anesthesia. However, a great disadvantage of this method is that it does not last long. If you want to maintain the effect, you need to inject at intervals, which will naturally cost more.
