Silicone prosthesis is the abbreviation of silicone prosthesis, its capsule wall is elastic silicone rubber, and the contents injected into the capsule are silica gel;

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a soft microporous graft material. Because of the birth of this rhinoplasty material, rhinoplasty appeared.

2. Different postoperative reactions.

Because of its special structure, blood vessels and nerves can gradually grow into the expansion, so that the expansion can be fused with its own tissue;

Silicone prosthesis can't grow with human tissue. After implantation, there may be a slight one-off inflammatory reaction in the local area, and a thin fibrous capsule will be formed around it in the later stage.

3. Different plasticity

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a safe subcutaneous implant, which is easy to shape, realistic for rhinoplasty and has good compatibility with tissues.

Silicone prosthesis itself has the basic shape of nose, which can be carved at will, with good flexibility and elasticity and strong three-dimensional effect.
