Let's Learn About Implant-Free Rhinoplasty with Dr. Yoo Young-moon!
While artificial implants like silicone and Gore-Tex were used to raise the nasal bridge in the past, many people are paying attention to implant-free rhinoplasty these days. This is likely because operating without implants eliminates aversion to them and reduces concerns about implant-related side effects. Therefore, at Vibe, where Dr. Yoo Young-moon is, we will talk about implant-free rhinoplasty in this YouTube content.
In the past, artificial implants like
silicone and Gore-Tex were used
to raise the nasal bridge, but nowadays,
many people are paying attention
to implant-free rhinoplasty.
Operating without implants likely
eliminates any aversion to them,
and reduces concerns about
side effects caused by implants.
Therefore, at Vibe, where
Dr. Yoo Young-moon is, we will talk
about implant-free rhinoplasty
in this YouTube content.
What is implant-free rhinoplasty?
As the name suggests, implant-free rhinoplasty
refers to a rhinoplasty method
performed without using silicone implants.
What are the pros and cons of going implant-free?
The biggest advantage is that you can undergo surgery
without the anxiety associated with silicone,
since silicone is not used.
By using your own septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or costal cartilage,
the major benefit is that
no foreign materials are used.
Conversely, the downside is that those with low noses
may find implant-free surgery difficult.
If someone with a low nose only
raises the nasal tip, the aesthetic
satisfaction would likely decrease, right?
Therefore, for those with low noses,
we recommend the standard rhinoplasty method.
Who is recommended for implant-free rhinoplasty?
We recommend it to those
who already have a high nasal bridge,
for example, those with a high bridge
due to a hump nose.
First, through a consultation
with Dr. Yoo Young-moon,
we recommend proceeding with
the implant-free method for those
who do not need implants.
Is the difficulty of implant-free rhinoplasty lower than standard rhinoplasty?
Implant-free rhinoplasty is a surgery that
raises the nose using your own cartilage,
so it must be carefully calculated and stacked
to ensure the area does not look bumpy.
Therefore, it can take comparatively longer
or be more complex to perform
than standard rhinoplasty.
Is revision surgery possible?
If you had an implant-free procedure
and the nasal tip drops later on,
you can have a revision surgery using the implant-free method.
If implants were inserted during the previous surgery,
precise examinations are required.
Thus, we recommend determining whether to proceed
through a consultation with a specialized doctor
and precise examination equipment.
Can I get nose fillers after implant-free rhinoplasty?
You might consider nose fillers
after implant-free rhinoplasty.
While it can be considered safer
than standard rhinoplasty,
because the filler itself is a foreign substance,
there is a risk of side effects
caused by the filler.
Therefore, regarding this matter,
we recommend proceeding through a consultation
with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive knowledge in rhinoplasty.
