With the continuous improvement of plastic surgery technology, more and more people are doing plastic surgery. Among many plastic surgery projects, eye plastic surgery and nose plastic surgery have been done * more, and also received praise and feedback * more projects. However, today we are mainly talking about nose plastic surgery. With regard to nose plastic surgery, we * common are silicone prosthesis and expanded nose augmentation, However, these two types of augmentation rhinoplasty are also controversial. Many people are confused before augmentation rhinoplasty, and they don't know whether to choose silicone prosthesis or expanded body. So today, I will explain to you separately.

First of all, the silicone rhinoplasty material is a polymer silicide, which is commonly known as "silicone", but different from the silicone materials used in our lives, it is a special silicone rubber product for medical use. The medical silicone has high and low temperature resistance, good chemical stability, corrosion resistance, tissue compatibility, non-toxic, non carcinogenic It is not teratogenic and will not grow together with human tissues. It is a kind of material that is widely used and has good effect in rhinoplasty.

Its advantages are: the prosthesis carving and operation are relatively simple, and beginner doctors can easily master relevant technologies. For those who are not satisfied with the nasal augmentation effect, the silicone can also be easily taken out completely.

Its disadvantages are: ugly shape, skew, easy light transmission, rejection, thin skin

Its common complications are: it cannot establish blood circulation with the body and form tissue connection, which is only wrapped by fibrous tissue, so it can penetrate the skin at the weak part of the tissue. Due to the contracture of the fibrous capsule, it can cause the body surface projection of the silicone prosthesis, which affects the appearance.

Secondly, the expanded nose augmentation material is also called polytetrafluoroethylene: polytetrafluoroethylene has high and low temperature resistance, good chemical stability, corrosion resistance, tissue compatibility, non-toxic, non carcinogenic, non teratogenic.

Its advantages are:

1. It can be used not only as a facial filling prosthesis, but also as an artificial heart valve or a large blood vessel Therefore, there is no problem of regular replacement.

2. With good histocompatibility, it can gradually grow into the ultrastructure of the bulge, so that the bulge can be firmly fixed in the preset area, and will not easily shake or slide.

3. Because the material quantity of the puff is sufficient, it can be carved and molded in more three-dimensional dimensions, and the texture of the puff material is closer to the autologous bone tissue, so doctors who are good at carving and controlling the puff can use the puff to carve a nose bridge shape with clear outline, bone feeling and support.

Its disadvantages are:

1. The microporous structure on the surface of the expanded body is the main reason for the relatively high infection rate of the expanded material after implantation, and is also the main argument that the expanded material has been questioned.

2. The expanded commercial products are generally in strips and blocks, not as many shapes and models as silica gel, which puts forward higher requirements for doctors' carving skills and 3D perception ability.

3. Doctors often say that the infection rate of augmentation rhinoplasty is higher, which is also a concern of many beauty seekers. My personal experience is that the deeper the expansion prosthesis is implanted, the better. It is very safe to use it as a pad for the nasal root, and it will take a lot of risk to use it as the nasal tip.

According to the above explanation, do you have an answer to the question "Is it better to choose a silicone prosthesis or an expanded body for rhinoplasty?"? Alibang hereby reminds the beauty lovers that they must choose a formal and qualified plastic surgery institution and a responsible plastic surgeon when choosing plastic surgery. At the same time, they should make preparations before and after the surgery, so that the plastic surgery can achieve good results.
