Selection of rhinoplasty materials
The commonly used prosthetic rhinoplasty materials mainly include solid silica gel, expander, autogenous cartilage and biological rhinoplasty materials. Moreover, biological rhinoplasty is generally regarded as the development direction of rhinoplasty in the future by the medical community. So how should people who want to do prosthetic rhinoplasty choose?

Silica gel has good histocompatibility, cartilage-like texture, is easy to sculpt, and has no discomfort and less rejection after being filled in the nose. It is an ideal prosthesis substitute.

Expansive materials are easy to shape, more realistic and more compatible with tissues. They have broad application prospects in rhinoplasty, but they are more expensive.

It is necessary to cut autologous cartilage in the patient's body, and there will be scars. Autologous cartilage is not commonly used because it may be absorbed and deformed after rhinoplasty.

Biological rhinoplasty materials mainly refer to rhinoplasty materials extracted from organisms, mainly dermal rhinoplasty materials. Dermal rhinoplasty materials can be divided into autologous dermis and artificial dermis. Autologous dermis is taken from patients and has the characteristics of non-rejection, natural shape and strong repair function. The disadvantage is that it has a certain absorption rate. Artificial dermis tends to replace autologous dermis and costal cartilage. The shape and height of artificial dermis are superior to that of autologous dermis and costal cartilage, and it also avoids the distress of leaving scars on autologous body. The disadvantage of artificial dermis is that there are some absorption problems in the process of tissue replacement.

The rhinoplasty materials widely used in clinic are all international advanced materials, such as Mangol, Gore and Hanson. The nano-porous materials of Mangol and GORE in the United States are softer and feel more realistic, which can make tiny blood vessels and nerves grow and establish circulation, which can be maintained for life. It has perfect compatibility with skin tissue and can stay in the body permanently. After two years of operation, X-ray detection shows that the filled material is no different from normal human tissue, ensuring safety and no side effects. The "infiltration" implant adopts FDA-certified recessive polymer material for rhinoplasty, and there is no rejection after operation. The nose is natural and beautiful, and it is not easy to deform.
