What is Silicone Rhinoplasty?

There are types of silicone specially manufactured for medical use,

and during surgery, the appropriate silicone is selected and used

to match the individual patient's nose shape.

Typically, the nose tip is operated on with cartilage,

and the surgery that uses silicone to raise the nose bridge

from above the nose tip to the glabella

is called ‘silicone rhinoplasty’.

Why Silicone Implants are Used for Nose Surgery

The reason silicone is the most suitable material for stably raising and

maintaining the nose bridge is that

even if other implants have emerged,

silicone is stable and

has the advantage of being quickly detected and

removed if a problem arises.

For example, if you want to significantly raise your nose but have a low nose bridge,

it can make your face appear less立体 (three-dimensional).

Also, when viewed from the front, the nose might appear wide,

so silicone is used to

raise the nose bridge.

If the nose bridge is low and the nose tip is upturned,

the nose bridge must be raised with silicone

to achieve natural harmony,

otherwise, it may be difficult to create the desired shape.

Furthermore, even if the nose is not significantly high,

if the nose bridge is high and the nose tip appears to droop,

a natural result can be achieved by raising the nose bridge

and slightly raising only the nose tip.

In this case, improvement is sufficiently possible without using silicone,

with a non-implant approach.

How many millimeters of silicone should be used?

The amount of silicone used

varies depending on the patient's nose condition.

For example, if there is almost no nose bridge,

a natural nose bridge can be formed even with 5-6mm of silicone.

On the other hand, if the nose bridge is already high,

even 1-2mm might look excessive,

so appropriate silicone use considering this is necessary.

On average, using about 3.5-4mm of silicone

results in a natural nose bridge height.

How long does silicone last?

Silicone does not deform or get absorbed over time,

so it is a material that can last a lifetime.

Of course, there is no set lifespan,

but once silicone is in the body,

a tissue called a capsule forms around the silicone,

which can lead to microscopic or acute inflammation.

If this inflammation worsens, it may be necessary to remove the silicone

or undergo revision surgery.

Is the probability of silicone side effects high?

When using silicone implants,

the probability of side effects such as inflammation or contracture

is very low, at 0.23%.

Most cases of revision rhinoplasty

occur more often because the patient is dissatisfied with the shape after surgery.

Therefore, side effects from silicone use are rare

and, if they occur, are relatively easy to resolve.

This concludes our explanation of

nose surgery using silicone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which part of the nose is silicone rhinoplasty used for?

It is mainly used to heighten the bridge of the nose. It is common to operate on the nasal tip with autologous cartilage and insert a medical silicone implant to stably raise the bridge of the nose from above the nasal tip to between the eyebrows.

How many mm of silicone implant should be inserted for a natural look?

On average, about 3.5 to 4mm is used. However, it varies depending on the patient's existing nose bridge height; if the nose bridge is almost flat, 5 to 6mm may be inserted, and if it is already high, only 1 to 2mm may be used to avoid an exaggerated look.

How long does a silicone implant in the nose last?

The silicone itself can last a lifetime. This is because it does not get absorbed or deformed in the body over time. However, if a severe inflammation occurs due to capsule formation around it, removal or revision surgery may be necessary.

Is the probability of side effects from silicone implants high?

No, the probability of side effects is very low at 0.23%. Side effects such as inflammation or contracture rarely occur, and most actual revision rhinoplasties are performed due to dissatisfaction with the post-surgical shape rather than side effects.

My nose bridge is already high, can I only have surgery on the nasal tip?

Yes, it can be sufficiently improved without an implant. If your nose bridge is high and only your nasal tip appears to droop, you can achieve natural results by slightly raising only the nasal tip without using silicone.
