Hello~

💎your beauty universe! This is Weverse Plastic Surgery :)💎

The nose plays an important role both aesthetically and functionally.

These days, rhinoplasty is performed just as frequently as eye surgery,

and for your first rhinoplasty, it is important to choose the right materials to ensure an ideal shape and safety.

​

If the wrong materials are chosen, it can lead to side effects such as the implant showing through the skin, capsular contracture, or inflammation,

so you must be very careful with your decision.

​

Today, we will have a Q&A session on which materials are best to use for a first rhinoplasty.

​

First Rhinoplasty: Which Materials Are Best to Use?

There is no single correct answer.

Considering the shape you want, your preferred materials, and the amount of cartilage that can be harvested from your body,

you must find an appropriate compromise.

Generally, using the nasal septum to build the strut via septal extension,

raising the nasal tip a bit more with ear cartilage, and using silicone for the nasal bridge

tends to result in less drooping of the nasal tip and yields a beautiful shape.

​

However, if the amount of septal cartilage is insufficient, or if you want to significantly raise the nose, donated or autologous rib cartilage may be necessary.

If your nasal bridge is already high, a non-implant rhinoplasty without silicone might also be possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best material for a first nose surgery?

There is no single correct answer. It is important to consult with a specialist to choose the most appropriate material, considering the desired nose shape, preferred materials, and the amount of cartilage that can be harvested from the body.

What materials are generally combined during nose surgery?

Typically, septal cartilage is used to firmly establish the nasal columella, and ear cartilage is used to raise the nasal tip. Silicone is often used for the nasal bridge to prevent the tip from drooping and to create a beautiful shape.

Is it mandatory to use silicone for nose surgery?

No, it is not mandatory. If the patient's nasal bridge is already sufficiently high, a non-implant nose surgery using only autologous cartilage is entirely possible without inserting silicone implants.

What if there isn't enough septal cartilage?

If septal cartilage is insufficient, donor costal cartilage or autologous costal cartilage can be used as alternative materials. These costal cartilage materials may be necessary, especially when a significant increase in nasal height is desired, so the amount of cartilage should be checked before surgery.

What are the side effects if the wrong material is chosen for nose surgery?

If the wrong material is chosen, there is a risk of side effects such as the implant showing through the skin, capsular contracture (where the nose becomes hard and short), and inflammation. Therefore, careful material selection is essential for the first surgery.
