Rhinoplasty has become a hot topic in cosmetic surgery, and many women are deeply interested in the subject. But how much do you truly know about rhinoplasty? What about the materials used? Today, we're sharing insights on rhinoplasty techniques.
Autologous Cartilage Rhinoplasty: An Effective Approach for Refining the Nasal Tip
1. Excellent tissue compatibility and stability. It integrates seamlessly with local nasal tissues, ensuring secure fixation without displacement.
2. Eliminates the risk of rejection reactions.
3. Minimal resorption rate. Autologous cartilage survives well even without blood supply.
4. The procedure is straightforward, as cartilage is harvested from the patient's own body—typically from the ear, nasal septum, or ribs.
5. The result feels natural to the touch. Post-surgery, normal nasal contact is safe; the tip can be gently pressed, maintaining a soft, realistic texture.
6. Autologous cartilage is highly sculptable, making it an ideal modeling material.Other injectable products containing bovine collagen or hyaluronic acid derived from chicken combs carry disease transmission risks and may trigger allergic reactions. Hyaluronic acid is naturally absorbed and degraded by skin tissue while delivering essential nutrients like oxygen and hormones. As gel particles freely circulate between cells, skin exhibits a naturally soft and healthy appearance.
EPT Nasal Augmentation Offers More Natural Feel
Among current implant materials for rhinoplasty, EPT (Expanded Polyethylene) is highly favored by consumers. This implant material features numerous micro-pores into which autologous tissue cells can grow, establishing blood circulation. Post-surgery, it feels soft and elastic, virtually indistinguishable from natural tissue.Postoperative X-ray examinations confirm the implant has fused with normal human tissue, ensuring safety and absence of side effects. The implant is also highly durable, resistant to stretching or tearing. Its two primary advantages are: first, its soft texture provides a more natural feel to the nose post-surgery; second, its high compatibility with the patient's own tissue results in minimal rejection reactions.
