Iinek’s Rhinoplasty Without Worrying About Swelling

Hello,

This is Iinek.

In these days, when most people take care of their appearance, interest in plastic surgery has not cooled down either.

After double eyelid surgery, the plastic surgery that receives the most attention is nose surgery. Because the nose is located at the center of the face and is the most three-dimensional part, it greatly affects a person’s overall impression. Many people who have concerns such as a low nose, aquiline nose, bulbous nose, flat nose, short nose, or long nose seek improvement through rhinoplasty.

However, the nose is not only responsible for facial aesthetics, but is also an organ that plays important roles in breathing and smell, so these functional aspects must be considered as well for safe and effective nose surgery.

Today, we would like to look at Iinek’s know-how for minimizing swelling after rhinoplasty and at rhinoplasty by type.

Before rhinoplasty, it is necessary to conduct an accurate examination because not only the externally visible nose design but also internal structural issues and breathing function must be considered comprehensively. This allows improvement not only in the beautiful shape of the nose but also in its functional aspects.

At Iinek, a 3D-CT examination is used to understand the anatomical structure of the nose, identifying the condition of the nasal bones, septum, mucosa, and the cause of nasal obstruction. After that, an accurate surgical plan is established through three-dimensional analysis, reducing the risk of complications.

Using 3D-CT, we identify issues that could not be confirmed through a general consultation and solve them through three-dimensional analysis. So, shall we look at the solutions by type of internal nasal issues?

First, when Gore-Tex has been inserted too thickly and is pressing on the skin, Gore-Tex is removed and replaced with a silicone implant depending on the condition of the skin, and weakened skin is reinforced with autologous tissue.

Second, in the case of an aquiline nose where the middle part of the nasal bridge is protruding, the spread alar cartilages are brought together, and a custom material that can naturally fill in the insufficient nasal tip height is selected and inserted to improve it.

Third, when the silicone and septal cartilage are crooked, they are corrected and the silicone is reinserted properly to resolve the issue.

For nose surgery with minimal swelling after rhinoplasty, material selection is also important. At Iinek, the range of material choices is broadened, and different materials are used depending on the patient’s condition to create a natural line.

In the case of ear cartilage, because it has excellent tissue compatibility and elasticity, it allows for a natural-looking nasal tip design.

Septal cartilage has very strong support, so it is suitable when reinforcing the support areas of the nasal bridge and tip or when the nose length needs to be extended.

Rib cartilage is the cartilage located at the front end of the rib cage. A large amount can be harvested, and it has the advantage of being transformable into various shapes.

When there is insufficient cartilage due to multiple revision surgeries, this rib cartilage is used for nose surgery.

In the case of PCL MESH, a polymer material approved by the FDA is used to fabricate the implant through 3D printing. It is possible to design an implant that perfectly matches the patient’s anatomical nasal structure identified through the earlier 3D-CT, and because it has excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, it makes an elastic and natural-looking nasal tip possible.

For minimal swelling after rhinoplasty, Iinek performs nose surgery using autologous tissue and safe materials approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, minimizing surgical side effects. It also comprehensively considers not only the anatomical structure of the nose but also functional aspects, so that the nose line can remain naturally unchanged even as time passes.
