Learning About Nose Surgery Implants at Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery! (Silicone, Gore-Tex, Autologous Dermis)

The nose, located at the center of the face,

has a major impact on appearance,

so many people consider nose surgery.

However, along with concerns about the surgery,

questions such as,

'Will the implant suit my body?'

'What if it looks too obvious?'

also tend to come up.

These days, by using various nose surgery implants

or offering customized procedures such as non-implant nose surgery,

the range of options has become much wider.

Today, at Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery,

we will take a detailed look at the types and features of nose surgery implants.

What is a nose surgery implant?

An implant refers to something

artificially created by humans.

Representative implants used in nose surgery

include silicone, Gore-Tex, and Medpor,

but

currently, silicone is used in most cases because it is easy to control during surgery,

does not change shape after surgery, and has certified stability.

In some cases, Gore-Tex is used for a more natural result,

but because it can change shape and tissue can adhere to it,

making removal difficult, it is rarely used.

What is non-implant nose surgery?

One of the things many people get confused about is

that non-implant nose surgery is often thought of as a procedure

that raises the bridge of the nose without using implants such as silicone or Gore-Tex.

However, at Apgujeong Seoul Plastic Surgery,

we explain non-implant nose surgery as a procedure

that is performed without raising the bridge of the nose.

Therefore, suitable candidates for non-implant nose surgery are people with a sufficiently high bridge

or cases that only need improvement at the tip,

such as a upturned nose, a hooked nose, or a hump nose.

Can the bridge be raised without a nose surgery implant?

There are also ways to raise the bridge of the nose

without using artificial implants.

The bridge can be raised using autologous dermis or rib cartilage,

but both methods are mainly used for functional improvement

rather than for cosmetic purposes.

In the case of autologous dermis,

it has the drawback of being absorbed too quickly,

making it difficult to maintain bridge height,

but if repeated revision surgeries make it difficult to insert a nose surgery implant,

dermis may be used.

Second, if rib cartilage is inserted into the bridge of the nose,

the amount of cartilage needed is too large,

and the nose becomes stiff after surgery,

so it is mainly used when the nose has collapsed due to an accident.

Nose surgery is not simply a procedure to raise the nose

and change its shape,

but a process of finding the method that suits me best.

Whether it is non-implant nose surgery or using a nose surgery implant,

sufficient consultation and the judgment of an experienced medical team are essential.
