What is the best material for chin augmentation?
Plastic experts said: For some friends with short chins, facial plastic surgery is your best choice, but you must be careful when choosing prosthetic materials, which will have a great impact on the consequences. So what is the best choice? How to choose the material of chin augmentation prosthesis? Let's listen to the plastic surgeon's advice. Experts said that chin augmentation is a very popular facial cosmetic method at present, and it mainly collects solid silica gel, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, alkyl apatite, micro-force artificial bone, medical polyacrylamide, hydrogel, autogenous bone (or autogenous cartilage) and so on. In plastic surgery, choosing the most suitable prosthesis is the most important. Because the prosthesis is implanted in the body, it must have excellent human compatibility, certain strength, constant chemical function, no structural change when implanted in the body, and easy to process and shape. The chemical components of chin augmentation prosthesis are silicone rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene, high density ethylene, etc. It is very popular to use solid silicone rubber. Solid silicone rubber is also a good material for chin augmentation, which has superior biological functions. After the prosthesis is implanted into human tissue, a fibrous capsule will be formed around it. It can be carved and shaped during operation, colored, elastic, easy to clean, and can be disinfected repeatedly without changing its physical and chemical functions. However, after the silicone rubber prosthesis is implanted in the chin, a few people may have allergic reactions, mostly manifested as the swelling of the chin is difficult to eliminate and the wound healing is not good. After this happens, we must first determine whether it is caused by infection, and we can use antibiotics. Generally speaking, chin augmentation is also rare. No matter what materials are used for chin augmentation, we should try our best to increase the surface pollution of the prosthesis during the operation. There is often static electricity on the surface of silicone rubber, so it is difficult to remove dust and cilia casually. Any pollutant will increase the echo of foreign bodies in the prosthesis, so we must pay attention to cleaning during the operation and try to avoid hand contact. The type of prosthesis is also important. At that time, there were various shapes and models of prefabricated prostheses on the market, and the prosthesis could be selected according to the size and shape of the filler needed by the patient. After the prosthesis is selected, it needs to be carved according to the shape of the patient's chin, so that the prosthesis can fit the mandibular surface as much as possible, which can increase the relative invariance between the prosthesis and the implant bed and surrounding tissues, increase the mobility and promote healing. The transition between the side of prosthesis and mandible should be natural. The tension after prosthesis implantation should not be too great, otherwise it can constitute mandibular acceptance. Through the above introduction, I believe that you have some understanding of how to choose the material of chin prosthesis, and you can know that solid silicone rubber is a good chin augmentation material. Here, I wish you good health and eternal youth!
