How to restore a sunken nose

The most common reason for a sunken nose is congenital depression, which is related to genetics. When this kind of depression occurs, it will indeed affect the beauty of the nose, making the nose appear flatter and less three-dimensional. If you are very dissatisfied with this situation, you can improve it through plastic surgery. Generally speaking, this situation can be repaired through rhinoplasty. Let us learn how to restore a sunken nose.

How to restore a sunken nose

The sunken nasal base can be filled by autologous fat filling and injection filling, but the filling method can only improve people with slight sunken nasal base. If the nasal base is severely sunken, it is necessary to correct the sunken nasal base by plastic surgery using autologous cartilage and expanded materials.

1. The sunken nose base can be filled with fat

Autologous fat can be used to fill the nose base, but fat filling will be absorbed to a certain extent, and it will take some time to stabilize after filling. When fat filling is performed on the sunken base of the nose, attention should be paid to the overall coordination of the face. One should not excessively pursue the fullness of the base of the nose and ignore the coordination between the base of the nose and other parts, otherwise the face will still look ugly after the operation.

2. The sunken nose base can be filled by injecting hyaluronic acid

Filling the nose base with hyaluronic acid is the simplest and most convenient filling method, but hyaluronic acid filling the nose base is only suitable for those who have mild nasal base depression. In addition, hyaluronic acid filling of the sunken nasal base has disadvantages. The first is that the hyaluronic acid filling cannot reach the ground and cannot last permanently. In addition, as the human body moves, hyaluronic acid will be squeezed to the apple muscles. Therefore, the best solution for nasal base depression is surgery.

3. The sunken nose base can be reshaped using autologous cartilage

A sunken nose base can be improved by fat filling and injection, but severe sunken nose base requires material implantation to improve. The best material for rhinoplasty is autologous cartilage material, which can be divided into: ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage, soft rib and soft rib particles. These three types of cartilage materials can be selected according to the patient's own conditions and needs. Using cartilage tissue for rhinoplasty has better tissue compatibility, can easily grow together with the wall tissue, is easy to fix, generally does not shift, will not cause body rejection reaction, and the absorption rate is relatively low.

4. The sunken nose base can be treated with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene plastic surgery

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPT) is the second choice for nasal base depression plastic surgery. From a medical point of view, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPT) is the most ideal biological tissue substitute. Because of its good biocompatibility and unique microporous structure, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is non-toxic, non-toxic and will not cause allergies. In addition, human tissue cells and blood vessels can grow into the micropores of the expanded body to form tissue connections, and the expanded body will later become like one's own tissues.
