In this era of growing concern about appearance and appearance, plastic surgery is no longer a rare thing, and the nose is an important part of the five facial features. Many young brothers and sisters have improved their noses through plastic surgery, making their noses delicate and beautiful has become an unaccustomed thing. At present, there are three methods of rhinoplasty: injection rhinoplasty, prosthesis rhinoplasty, Autogenous cartilage nasal augmentation, many friends ask which kind of nasal augmentation method is good? The following is a detailed introduction, hoping to help you.
1、 Nasal augmentation by injection and its advantages and disadvantages: nasal augmentation by injection is achieved by injecting filler into the part of the nose that needs to be filled through a special needle. Hyaluronic acid (commonly known as hyaluronic acid) or collagen is usually used for nasal augmentation injection. Of course, sometimes autologous fat can also be injected.
Advantages of nasal augmentation by injection: one There is no need for surgery, minimal trauma, no recovery period, and you can go to work and socialize immediately after injection; two The operation is simple and can be completed in a few minutes, and the nasal augmentation effect can be seen immediately after the injection; three Natural appearance, just like nature; four It can be kneaded freely; five If you are not satisfied with the shape, it can be increased or decreased locally, which is convenient for adjustment.
Disadvantages of nasal augmentation by injection: one The maintenance time is limited, usually in 6-12 About months, it is often necessary to supplement injection; two The hardness of the injection filler is not as high as that of the prosthesis, so when the nose is very collapsed, the nasal augmentation effect is not as good as that of the prosthesis; three If the operation is improper, vascular embolism may occur.
2、 Prosthesis augmentation rhinoplasty and its advantages and disadvantages: Prosthesis augmentation rhinoplasty is to separate the cavity of the prosthesis through the surgical incision at the nostril edge, and then place the nasal prosthesis (mainly silicone prosthesis and expanded prosthesis), so as to achieve the effect of augmentation rhinoplasty.
Advantages of prosthetic rhinoplasty: one Once in place, effect; two The shape is carved at will, and even a very flat nose can get a good shape.
Disadvantages of prosthetic rhinoplasty: one The operation is needed, the wound is large, and the recovery period is long; two The surgical incision will leave scars of different degrees; three Do not knead at will after recovery; four If the shape is unsatisfactory, it must be adjusted again; five When the prosthesis is thick and the skin and soft tissue on the surface is thin, the local area of augmentation rhinoplasty with silicone prosthesis may be red and bright; six There is a possibility of secondary infection in augmentation rhinoplasty with expanded prosthesis. The incidence reported in the literature is about 13.3% 。
3、 Autologous costal cartilage nasal augmentation and its advantages and disadvantages: Autologous costal cartilage nasal augmentation is to cut part of costal cartilage, carve it into the shape of a prosthesis, and then put it into the nose, so as to achieve the effect of nasal augmentation 。
Advantages of nasal augmentation with autogenous costal cartilage: one Once in place, effect; two The shape is carved at will, and even a very flat nose can get a good shape; three Generally, the local area will not be red and bright, nor will it be secondary to infection.
Disadvantages of nasal augmentation with autogenous costal cartilage: one In addition to the nostril margin, the chest also needs to be operated, with greater trauma and longer recovery period; two The surgical incision will leave scars of different degrees; three The transplanted costal cartilage will be absorbed and deformed to a certain extent (about 10% Costal cartilage is absorbed), and sometimes obvious deformation occurs; four If the shape is unsatisfactory, it must be adjusted again; five As people get older, costal cartilage will become calcified and hard, so costal cartilage nasal augmentation is only suitable for young people.
