Rhinoplasty Methods and Selection Criteria (+Real Rhinoplasty Reviews)

Hello.

This is VIBE Plastic Surgery.

An increasing number of people are seeking rhinoplasty to overcome insecurities and improve their appearance.

However, attempting nose surgery hastily without sufficient prior examination and planning can lead to severe side effects such as contracture or inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the results, necessitating revision surgery.

Therefore, it is essential to proceed with a design and surgical method suitable for you after thorough consultation and diagnosis with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Today, VIBE Plastic Surgery will explain rhinoplasty methods and selection criteria in detail.

Characteristics of Materials Used in Rhinoplasty

Silicone

One of the most commonly used materials in rhinoplasty is silicone.

This material undergoes almost no change within the body, has low foreign body reactions, and creates a clear bridge shape. It is widely used for those with thick skin or those who desire a well-defined nose shape.

Gore-Tex

Gore-Tex is another material as widely used as silicone.

It features microscopic pores invisible to the naked eye, allowing tissue to grow into it for fixation. It is softer than silicone and has the characteristic of being less likely to show through the skin.

However, it has the disadvantage of being absorbed into the nasal bone more than silicone.

Aside from artificial implants like silicone or Gore-Tex, autologous rib cartilage is frequently used.

This material is primarily used for those who lack sufficient septal or ear cartilage, or for those who need a sturdy support structure due to nasal contracture or cleft lip nasal deformity.

Additionally, it has low absorption rates and, being autologous tissue, can also be used for dorsal augmentation (raising the bridge).

However, some people are reluctant to use autologous rib cartilage because it can leave a small scar near the ribs.

To compensate for this, donated (donor) rib cartilage is used. Donated rib cartilage is material harvested from a human body, thoroughly chemically treated, and processed for safe insertion into the human body.

Implants must be selected and designed to fit each individual’s facial features and face shape before proceeding with surgery.

Therefore, it is crucial to perform a detailed diagnosis using 3D-CT before surgery and carefully establish a surgical plan tailored to the overall balance of the face.

Furthermore, price or reviews alone should not be the sole criteria for choosing a hospital for rhinoplasty.

When selecting a clinic, you should seek a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive clinical experience and expertise. High satisfaction can only be expected when a 1:1 customized rhinoplasty is performed after thorough consultation.
