1.l silicone prosthesis is a popular rhinoplasty method from 1990s to early 2000, but it has been proved that there are many problems in practice.
2. For the oppression of the nose, the L-shaped silica gel mainly aims at raising the bridge of the nose, but only compressing the tip of the nose at the corner will cause insufficient blood supply to the tip of the nose. From the outside, it will cause the tip of the nose to be red and white, and from the inside, it will cause the compression of the cartilage of the tip of the nose, but the tip of the nose will be lower and lower.
3. Wear on the skin: One corner of the prosthesis is located at the tip of the nose. Due to long-term wear and tear, the skin of the tip of the nose becomes thinner and thinner, which makes the tip of the nose red and the prosthesis wear, which eventually leads to the tip of the nose breaking.
4. Placing the prosthesis too shallow can easily cause problems such as appearance, shaking, deflection and light transmission of the prosthesis.
5. The influence of silica gel prosthesis on nasal dorsum is that it will form calcium salt deposition, accelerate cartilage calcification, form grooves, and take out the prosthesis, and the nose will become more collapsed than before.
6. It has improved the collapse of the bridge of the nose, but not the whole nose, such as wide nose, big nose, hypertrophy of the alar, hunchback and aquiline nose.
7. To sum up, L-shaped silicone prosthesis is not recommended for rhinoplasty.
