Different Types of Rhinoplasty

Which Rhinoplasty is Best For Me?

Rhinoplasty, also known as nose surgery, is one of the most common types of cosmetic plastic surgeries performed. This, however, is hardly surprising since the nose is something that is constantly display, dead center in the middle of your face. It's no wonder this surgery is so often frequented.

So what type of nose surgery is best for me? You'd be surprised, not everyone has the same nose or needs the same surgery. There are so many different types of nose surgeries, you'd be amazed.

First, there's the bridge. The bridge can be flat, big, wide, have a bump, or have deviation. It may be too thin or it may be too bulky. The tip, it can be too short, or it may even be too bulbous or too long. As for the wing of the nose, otherwise known as the alar, they may be too wide when you smile or too round.

Aside from these surgeries, there are many surgeries that a plastic surgeon must take into consideration.

Reduction Rhinoplasty

A majority of patients seeking rhinoplasty surgery are generally concerned that the size of their nose is disproportionate with their facial features.

Areas of particular concern are the presence of a bump on the bridge of the nose, excessive width of the bridge tip, and possibly the width of the nostrils.

In the picture to the right, you see that this patient only underwent alar plasty: reduction of the nostril wings.

Augmentations Rhinoplasty
Augmentation rhinoplasty is basically the surgery where the dimensions of the nose are increased.

This is probably probably the most frequented nose surgery by Asians since their nose bridge tends to lack bridge and dimension. In this case, an implant may be used to add height and dimension to the area that is needed.

Ethnic Rhinoplasty
In essence, all rhinoplasty procedures are ethnic rhinoplasty since we must take into consideration the ethnic structure, and characteristics of the shape, along with the skin and facial proportions.

For example, Asians may prefer a more soft, delicate nose frame to go along with their soft facial features, where as a caucasian or middle eastern may prefer a more strong nose lone to go with their stronger facial features.

Post-traumatic Rhinoplasty
This procedure is for those who have undergone facial trauma. Injuries to the nose frequently lead to damage in the bone and cartilage support, which could lead to a change in their appearance due to deviation, assymetry, or problems in the air way.

Deviations of the bones and cartilages of the nose, can be reset with relatively good success rate

Rhinoplasty Without Artificial Implant at GNG Hospital! -- NoPlant Nose Job

Rhinoplasty Without an Implant?

In Korea, silicone and goretex is widely used for its sleek, perfect finish. In photos, especially, the nose can look perfect in every angle. Silicone can be a great option for patients with low height and/or minimal definition. However, in the case that the patient has an adequate aesthetic height, there's no actual reason for an implant. To thin the nose, the bones do need to be broken, but this can be done in a way that would not require a subsequent dorsal implant.

So, what are the options?

We can harvest cartilage from either your nasal septum or possibly the ear, then graft it into the bridge, eliminating the need for a nasal implant. In the case that the patient doesn't have enough of both, then donor cartilage will be used instead or fused with the other materials. Another popular option can also be cartilage extraction from the patient's rib. Through advanced methods and

primary focus on research and development ahead of its time, GNG Hospital has developed the NoPlant Rhinoplasty.

What is NoPlant Rhinoplasty?

NoPlant Rhinoplasty uses dermis and bionic prosthesis instead of artificial prosthesis. Usually, dermis tends to be absrobed as time passes.

Since NoPlant Rhinoplasty uses fine ground diced cartilage powder wrapped in fascia, the possibility of absorption is very low and shock resistant. The bridge line is very natural and people will hardly notice you did rhinoplasty!

Another case when NoPlant rhinoplasty is needed is when medial osteotomy or rasping is needed for a hump nose. Since the bones cannot be cut or rasped down perfectly straight, diced cartilage can be used to fill in the grooves of the bridge for a more smooth, sleek flow from bridge to tip - mimicking that of an artificial implant.

This method is also popular to patients who are considering revision after a botched nose job or implant rejection.

Why GNG Hospital?

People interested in plastic surgery do not take into consideration that an aesthetic nose may result in functional problems. This may include things like reduced nasal passage way resulting in nasal obstruction or problems with breathing. Reduced nasal airway can result from different procedures meant to give your nose its desired shape, including lateral osteotomy, narrowing of nasal cartilage along with alar reduction. However, at GNG this is not an issue at all since our doctors are ENT certified.

After an X-Ray and CT scan and face to face consultation with ours doctors, the doctor and you will decide which method is best for you and your nose based on your nose structure, skin type, and ideal nose type.

All factors will be considered when deciding which method is best for you.
