Effect of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty

Effect of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty

Nowadays, many people will take some measures to change their appearance when they are not satisfied with it. For example, when people are not satisfied with their nose, they can change it through makeup or surgery. Currently, many beauty salons have launched rhinoplasty projects, and there are many methods of rhinoplasty. Among them, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is a commonly used method. The advantage of this method is that the effect is more natural.

What is expanded rhinoplasty

EPTFE is a very versatile, elastic fluoropolymer. It is not easily degraded and absorbed, is non-sticky, does not form blood clots, and is ductile. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene has very high requirements for the surgical environment, which must be completely sterile.

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is used as the prosthetic material for rhinoplasty, which is more prone to infection. Once infected, the rhinoplasty material can only be removed. The postoperative period is natural, the pain is mild, the effect is good, and infection and rejection rarely occur.

Rhinoplasty is a common surgery in plastic surgery and there are many methods. There are two common methods, including injection and placement of prosthetic materials. There are many kinds of prosthetic materials, such as domestic materials, Sino-US joint ventures, and Korean imported materials, etc. The uniqueness of Korean rhinoplasty lies in the use of personalized design, using Korean imported prosthetic materials and the body's own cartilage materials at the same time, and repairing enlarged nostrils, thick and low nose tips, etc. The body's own cartilage can be added to the tip of the nose to change the defect of the upturned nose tip, thereby achieving an ideal nose shape. The surgery will be natural without an upturned nose, and the recovery time is short. There will be slight swelling in 2-3 days, which will be basically gone in 3 days, and no abnormality will be visible in a week. The pain is mild and the effect is good.

Advantages of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is softer than silicone rubber and looks more natural after surgery; there is no redness of the nose tip after expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty; tissue can grow into the material, and long-term fixation is better; the nose shape after expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is natural. If you don't tell, no one can tell that you have had a rhinoplasty; patients with very thin nasal skin can also undergo expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty.

Disadvantages of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty

Because expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty solidifies easily, the expanded material becomes one with the human body and is therefore more difficult to remove than silicone rubber. Of course, since a one-time operation can be maintained permanently, this problem will only occur when the patient is not satisfied with the results of the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty and needs another operation. It is easy to remove by a surgeon who has extensive experience with this material; expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is more expensive than silicone rubber; sculpting requires extensive experience.

Indications

1. Subjectively, those who choose expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty are those who want to have their noses beautified.

2. People with low nose bridge.

3. People with poor nose visual effects caused by poor shape of eyes, cheekbones and forehead.

4. Those who have failed rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty Methods:

1. The surgical plan for expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty should be designed according to the patient's nose shape, face shape, temperament, and occupation;

2. Finely carve the expanded body according to the facial condition;

3. Reconstruct the nasal cartilage "roof" and subcutaneous tissue;

4. Implant the carved expanded polytetrafluoroethylene minimally invasively under the periosteum and fix it internally.

Rhinoplasty Instructions:

There is a property of expanded material that is often overlooked, which is its expansion property. As shown in the picture on the right, the thickness of the 5mm thick expanded material is reduced by 2mm after compaction. Therefore, when using expanded materials, we must pay attention to this characteristic.
