What Implants Would Be the Best for Rhinoplasty?

Not sure about what implants would be the best for your nose? We got you! 

There are some options for rhinoplasty, and each one of them has their own advantages.

1.     Silicone

Silicon is the most commonly used material in rhinoplasty especially for female rhinoplasty. It is used for adding height on the bridge, and good for making a sophisticated, defined shape.

When silicone is used for the nose bridge, the possibility of the shape changing is fairly low.

GNG adopts Ultra-Soft Silicone, which is the most soft and elastic material among silicones. It is less likely to have reflection through the skin than the original silicone.

Also, if any problem situation happens, it can be easily removed.

2.     Gore-tex

Gore-tex has a tendency to be attached to body tissue,

 so it is used for male rhinoplasty since they are more active and it’s strong against shock, or for those who has very thin skin. 

Usually male patients prefer gore-tex because it creates a natural line.

 3.     Cartilage (Donated or Your Own Rib Cartilage)

If you are against any kind of implants or have any complications after rhinoplasty using implants, you can consider rib cartilage! Either donated cartilage or your own rib cartilage. Your rib cartilage is the safest and strongest material for rhinoplasty. So it’s used for complicated revision rhinoplasty, or for those who live abroad and cannot visit Korea often, or for those who just wants to trim down the bridge. 

GNG makes the cartilage into the finely diced powder and wrap it in a fascia. With this technique, the absorption rate decreases compared to just using dermis. 

According to the individual’s conditions, our highly experienced rhinoplasty specialist will recommend you the most suitable material for your case during a face-to-face consultation. Do not hesitate to contact and visit us! J

Why You Should Never Use an L-shaped Silicone!

L Silicone VS. I Silicone Implant

L-shaped implants are quick and easy to use when projecting the overall height of the nasal bridge and tip. With half the surgery time, the patient can get an easy projected (taller) line linked from bridge to tip. They were used in the past due to the easy, simple handling and reduced time in the surgery room. However, with the advancement of technology and methods, the I implant has come a long way to help surgeons design a more natural nose line from bridge to tip.

Some issues with the notorious L implant include:

⟹ Pressure from the corner angle of the L causing extrusion or necrosis in the tip ⟹ Bulbous or stretched nose tip ⟹A Pointy or unnatural line and tip ⟹Redness and/or thinning of skin ⟹Higher risk of infection ⟹Unsatisfactory elevation/balance of the dorsum or tip

The idea of the shape of the L implant may have been a good idea, but it has not achieved the results that were intended.

As you can see in the photo above, the skin above the implant doesn't remain the same. The skin becomes thinner and thicker along the bridge while the corner angle of the L has an uneven amount of skin and fat tissue around it.
