Is the nose made of your own ribs or silicone?
This depends on personal circumstances. For the first rhinoplasty (the first rhinoplasty), there are a wide range of choices, such as artificial prosthesis and autologous cartilage. If the nose needs correction and repair, it is recommended to use autologous cartilage.

Generally, rhinoplasty prostheses are divided into three types, and the effect of each type of material is different. Science popularization can be carried out through the following articles.

First, artificial prosthesis

Prosthetics can be roughly divided into three types: silicone prosthesis, inflation Gore-Tex and kamala Silitex.

1, silicone prosthesis

Because it is not easy to deform and absorb after operation, it is more exquisite than other prostheses, and it can be carved and shaped according to the shape of the nose of beauty lovers, so it is loved by many friends. However, for beauty seekers with thin skin, the edge of prosthesis may appear, and it is necessary to confirm whether to use silicone rhinoplasty according to the skin thickness of beauty seekers.

2, swelling

Compared with silica gel, the expanded shape is natural, softer and thinner, which can also be used by beauty lovers. There are tiny pores in its tissue, which has strong compatibility with surrounding tissues and relatively few complications such as prosthesis rejection. But the bumps are so soft that it is difficult to carve the ideal shape in a personal tailor. Therefore, the use of breast augmentation and rhinoplasty is a very severe test for doctors' skills.

3. kamala

Kamala belongs to the silica gel swelling compound, which combines the advantages of silica gel prosthesis and swelling. It is made by wrapping swelling on the surface of silica gel. Because it combines the advantages of silica gel prosthesis and swelling, it can effectively reduce the unnatural phenomenon caused by encapsulated contracture, so the cost is more expensive than normal rhinoplasty.

Second, allogenic tissue rhinoplasty materials

The commonly used allogenic tissues in rhinoplasty mainly include allogenic costal cartilage and artificial dermis.

Allogenic costal cartilage is a kind of costal cartilage donated by others. The hospital uses ergonomic methods to eliminate its side effects and rejection. It is a safe rhinoplasty material certified by FDA.

The same is true of artificial dermis, which is a kind of nasal plastic material that processes human dermis to remove rejection reaction, and can shape a natural nose without illusion.

Third, autologous tissue nasal plastic materials

The commonly used autologous tissue rhinoplasty materials are: autologous dermis, internal fascia and autologous cartilage.

1, autologous dermis

Autologous dermis is cut from buttock and coccyx or groin, which is suitable for rhinoplasty with thin nasal skin.

2, temporal fascia

Fascia refers to the membrane that wraps the muscles. The fascia used in nasal surgery is the temporal fascia in the scalp above the ear, which is cut from the scalp and has the advantages of simple operation and no scar exposure. It is suitable for people who seek beauty by raising the back of nose or preventing the prosthesis from transmitting light during rhinoplasty.

3. Autologous cartilage (auricular cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and autogenous costal cartilage)

Ear cartilage is an autogenous cartilage widely used in nasal plastic surgery, which is characterized by easy cutting and hidden traces after operation. Mainly used to raise the tip of the nose, but also can be used for slight rhinoplasty on the back of the nose.

The cartilage of nasal septum belongs to intranasal incision, and no additional incision is needed. Nasal septal cartilage is harder and more supportive than auricular cartilage, and the harvested cartilage is flat and without bending, which is mostly used for nasal tip overlapping transplantation, nasal columella support transplantation, nasal septal expansion transplantation and extended transplantation.

The advantages of costal cartilage are full resectability and low absorption rate. Autologous costal cartilage is a good choice for those who have used or lacked nasal plastic repair of nasal septum cartilage and auricular cartilage.

No matter which way you choose for rhinoplasty, it is more important to compare and consult face to face, and choose a suitable and reliable hospital for safe surgery!
