Rhinoplasty Methods and Selection Criteria (+ Real Rhinoplasty Reviews)

Hello.

This is Vibe Plastic Surgery.

​

For the purpose of overcoming complexes and improving appearance,

the number of people seeking rhinoplasty

is on a growing trend.

However, without sufficient preliminary examinations and planning,

hastily attempting nose surgery can lead to severe side effects such as capsular contracture and inflammation,

or due to dissatisfaction with the surgical results,

a situation may arise where revision rhinoplasty is necessary.

​

Therefore, with a board-certified plastic surgeon,

after sufficient consultation and diagnosis,

you must proceed with a design and surgical method

that is suitable for you.

​

So today, at Vibe Plastic Surgery,

regarding rhinoplasty methods and selection criteria,

we would like to inform you in detail.

​

Characteristics of Materials Used in Rhinoplasty

​

Silicone

During rhinoplasty surgery,

one of the most commonly used materials is silicone.

This material undergoes almost no changes in vivo,

has a low foreign body reaction, and creates a distinct nasal bridge shape,

so for those with thick skin or who want a defined nose shape,

it is widely used.

​

Gore-Tex

Gore-Tex is also, as much as silicone,

one of the widely used materials.

It has microscopic pores invisible to the naked eye,

allowing tissues to grow into it for fixation, and it is softer than silicone,

featuring less transparency through the skin.

However, compared to silicone, absorption into the nasal bone

occurs more frequently, which is a disadvantage.

​

Aside from artificial implants

like silicone or Gore-Tex,

autologous rib cartilage is frequently used.

When the nasal septum cartilage or

ear cartilage is insufficient or small,

or due to nasal contracture or cleft lip nasal deformity,

for those who need a strong support structure,

it is the primarily used material.

Also, because it has low absorption in the body and is autologous tissue,

augmentation rhinoplasty to raise the nasal bridge is also possible.

​

However, when using autologous rib cartilage,

a slight scar may remain on the rib area,

which some people are reluctant about.

To compensate for this, the cartilage used is donated rib cartilage.

Donated rib cartilage is harvested from a human body,

undergoes sufficient chemical processing,

and is processed to be safely inserted into the human body.

​

Implants must be selected according to individual facial features and

one's own face shape,

and surgery should proceed after designing.

Therefore, through a 3D-CT scan before surgery,

it is important to diagnose meticulously and, matching the overall facial balance,

carefully establish a surgical plan.

​

And for rhinoplasty, price or reviews alone

should not be the criteria for deciding on a clinic.

When choosing a clinic, you must find a board-certified plastic surgeon

with abundant clinical experience and know-how, have a sufficient consultation,

and undergo 1:1 customized rhinoplasty to expect

highly satisfying results.

​

from the initial consultation stage,
