Q. What kind of nose surgery has the fewest side effects?

When considering nose surgery, the biggest concern is probably side effects.

Is there a surgery with fewer side effects? Today, we’ll look at this topic.

Among open rhinoplasty procedures that improve the nose overall, most use human tissue such as septal cartilage or costal cartilage for the tip of the nose, and silicone implants for the bridge.

However, while silicone implants for the nasal bridge have many advantages in terms of shape, there is still some concern about side effects. In the short term, there can be inflammation, and in the long term, problems such as contracture deformity, so this is something to understand well and prepare for.

A relatively less concerning option is a “non-implant surgery,” which performs surgery on the bridge without using a silicone implant. Because human tissue is used for both the tip and the bridge, it is called non-implant surgery. The tip is raised in the same way, and then only the sunken area of the bridge is filled with relatively soft cartilage such as septal cartilage or ear cartilage to create a straight line.

Since there is a limit to how much can be filled, the tip cannot be raised as much as before, and there are limits to how much the line of the nose can be adjusted beyond a nearly straight line. Still, depending on the shape of the existing nose and the desired degree of change, it can be a good surgical option to consider without worrying about side effects.

The most suitable candidates are people who already have some bridge height, but whose tip is blunt or drooping, such as those with a hooked nose. You could say this is a method that preserves the advantages of the existing bridge while correcting the shortcomings of the tip. It may also be suitable for people who want a natural change.

I hope this was helpful for the part you were curious about, and I’ll wrap up here.
