Which material is best for rhinoplasty?

Because compared with other plastic surgeries, rhinoplasty is relatively simple, and they occupy a very important position in a person's facial features, some people who think their noses are not good-looking will choose to have rhinoplasty. Before doing rhinoplasty, you must consider which rhinoplasty material you will choose, because there are many types of rhinoplasty materials in plastic surgery hospitals, so which rhinoplasty material is the best?

Rhinoplasty materials are selected according to your own conditions

1. Autologous rib cartilage is suitable for patients with severe saddle nose or those who have severe rejection reaction to artificial tissue materials. It has excellent tissue compatibility and is not easily absorbed. The fascia and part of the helix cartilage transplantation are also suitable for nose tip plastic surgery.

2. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is soft in texture and its flexibility is closer to that of soft tissue compared with other artificial vegetation. It is an inert expanded polymer, which is composed of many nodules. The tiny fibers between the nodules are interwoven in multiple directions and have an ultra-microporous structure. It is firm, soft and allows tissue growth.

3. Solid silicone prosthesis is the most commonly used rhinoplasty material in China, with the following advantages:

①Stable performance, low irritation, non-absorption, and can be stored in tissues for a long time;

②Beautiful shape, easy to shape, and no deformation;

③ The price is low, the amount of material obtained is not limited, and it avoids the pain of cutting one's own bones, which is easily accepted by the patients.

Clinical applications have shown that the materials used for rhinoplasty, whether autologous or allogeneic, active or inactive, natural or chemically synthesized, have certain advantages and disadvantages, and can only be selected according to specific circumstances. With the rapid development of the chemical industry in the past three or four decades, various polymer materials have been introduced and used in plastic surgery.

Silicone rhinoplasty prosthesis materials of various shapes have been used and achieved good results. However, for cosmetic rhinoplasty, due to the high excretion rate, the long-term effect is still difficult to determine, so many doctors advocate the use of autologous cartilage tissue as rhinoplasty material. However, its application is also limited due to factors such as the absorption of cartilage tissue and the increased pain and scarring caused to the patient during cartilage removal. Before choosing a rhinoplasty procedure, people who love beauty must know clearly what surgical plan is suitable for them and choose a regular medical institution to perform it, so as to avoid rhinoplasty failure as much as possible.
