The main appeal is to make the nose more beautiful, which is often used to solve the unsightly appearance of the nose caused by some accidents or congenital defects.

In operation, rhinoplasty can be divided into closed operation and open operation. In traditional open surgery, an L-shaped silicone prosthesis is placed in the bridge of the nose and alar. However, due to the limited size, it can not completely fit the nose shape, or because of the long-term friction between the implant and the nose, the tip of the nose in contact with the implant becomes thin or even perforated. Professor Xu Jianwei said that the tip of the nose needs to be supported by solid supporting materials (autologous cartilage, medpor, etc.). ) so that the skin can cover the tip of the nose without tension. Injection rhinoplasty is only effective for plastic surgery of nasal dorsum collapse, and it should be used with caution at the tip of nose. There are cases of nasal tip necrosis caused by injection.

Surgical rhinoplasty

At the beginning of rhinoplasty, the patient is first given general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Generally speaking, the plastic surgeon first separates the nasal skin from the subcutaneous soft tissue, puts it into the frame for' remodeling' action, sews up the incision, and fixes the nose just after surgery with adhesive tape to promote healing. According to the needs of different patients, autologous cartilage transplantation or general fillers are sometimes used to strengthen or change the nasal contour. Autograft tissue is usually taken from nasal septum, but it can also be taken from costal cartilage or auricular cartilage if it is not enough.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is to inject fillers, such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and microcrystalline porcelain, to change and shape. Fill the flat part of the nose with fillers to create a sharp or smooth appearance. The whole process will not change the size of the nose, but it can still be used to correct some birth defects.

Early attempts to use fillers are mostly toxic substances, such as paraffin and silicon. After 2000, doctors such as Dr. Alexander Rifkin and Dr. Andrew Thun Le Ying successfully developed a benign technology by using modern fillers. .
