Implants materials for rhinoplasty must be selected sincerely
Nose is considered the most crucial feature
of our face as it’s located in the center. This is why many people nowadays,
consider rhinoplasty to improve their overall impression.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most commonly
done plastic surgery as much as eyelid surgeries are performed. But this doesn’t
mean that it’s simple. According to WONJIN plastic surgery hospital, “Since
rhinoplasty involves the insertion of artificial implants, hasty decisions
could lead to side effects such as infection and contracture.”
For safety, it is important to choose the
right implant that suits each patient’s condition. Implants are mainly
classified into artificial implants such as silicone and gore-tex, and
autologous cartilages such as septum or ear cartilage. As these materials have
their own advantages and disadvantages, they should be sincerely selected.
Artificial implants can be used in larger
amount and have stronger support, and therefore, more appropriate in making
sharp noses. However, it could look a bit too pointy with higher risk of
complications compared to autologous cartilage.
On the other side, autologous cartilage has
less complication or infection risks as it’s extracted from patient’s own body,
and also results to a more natural shape. However, it has limitations in the
usage amount, and requires additional incision areas depending on the cartilage
type.
Medical staffs from WONJIN advised, “It’s
not an exaggeration that the surgical outcomes of rhinoplasty depending on how
we make use of the materials. We can’t conclude which implants are safer, but
for safe result, the patient must understand the characteristics of each
implant first and select the right material after a detailed consultation with
the surgeon”.
Moreover, “If any signs of complications
and inflammations are seen, one should visit the hospital for immediate
treatment before the symptoms get worse. Also, if revision surgery is
necessary, it is suggested to consult the doctor to pick the right period for
revision surgery depending on the nasal condition”.
