Why AB Plastic Surgery’s Customized Ssofit Implant Matters

Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

When researching rhinoplasty, you may wonder at least once, “Aren’t all implants pretty much the same?”

However, everyone’s nose differs in terms of the height and width of the nasal bridge, the shape of the nasal bones, skin thickness, and even the line connecting to the tip of the nose.

For this reason, it may be difficult to achieve the desired result simply by using an implant with the same shape.

If each person has different individual characteristics, such as slight asymmetry of the nasal bridge, a dorsal hump, or a crooked nose, the process of designing a customized implant to suit the shape of your nose may be important.

In this regard, we would like to introduce the Ssofit customized implant, which has recently been attracting attention.

How does the Ssofit customized implant process work?

A customized implant process does not simply end with selecting an implant. It is important to analyze the individual shape of the nose and create a design suited to it.

Why use the Ssofit customized implant?

The more pronounced the dorsal hump or the more crooked the nose, the more osteotomy and hump removal can be minimized, which may reduce the risk of bleeding and bacterial entry.

1. Assessing the current condition of the nose

First, we assess the current shape of the nose and the areas of concern through a consultation.

We examine the overall condition, including whether the nasal bridge is low, whether there is a dorsal hump, whether the nose is crooked, and whether there is left-right asymmetry.

At this stage, it is important to consider not only one direction, such as the front or side, but also the overall balance and harmony of the face.

2. Analyzing the nasal structure and desired design

Once the characteristics of the current nose have been identified, we make a specific plan for how you would like it to change.

Based on the consultation, we design the final shape of the nose you wish to achieve.

We sketch directly over photographs and make adjustments to create the desired nasal shape and design materials.

3. Designing an implant suited to the individual shape of the nose

Next, we design a customized implant based on the individual shape of the nose and the surgical plan.

Therefore, during the consultation, explaining your preferences in as much detail as possible can be very helpful for the design process.

4. Applying it according to the surgical plan

Based on the completed design, we establish the actual surgical plan. When necessary, we also consider surgical plans for other structural areas, such as the nasal tip or septum.

In other words, rather than considering only a single implant, it is important to connect the entire nasal line—from the nasal bridge to the tip—as one overall design.

A customized implant is not necessarily required for every rhinoplasty procedure.

However, when the individual shape of the nose is relatively distinctive or it is difficult to achieve the desired result with a conventional implant, a customized implant may be considered as one option.

Once all four materials introduced above have been sent, Ssofit sends a virtual design confirmation based on them.

After reviewing the confirmation, the patient carefully checks whether the desired shape and the surgical plan match completely.

Once the patient decides whether to proceed after the review, production of a single 3D customized Ssofit implant begins.
