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

Who Needs Noplant Surgery?

Noplant surgery is using donated or patient's own cartilage or dermis which means no artificial implants.

It has slight difference from using dermis.

"After rhinoplasty, original dermis tends to be absorbed in the body as time passes" 

While Noplant rhinoplasty which is upgraded version of no implant surgery minimized absorption rate through many surgery cases and studies .

There are 3 cases for Noplant surgery needed!

  1. Inflammation and Contraction

Those who have had inflammation or contraction after rhinoplasty or need revision surgery due to inflammation or contraction are suitable for Noplant surgery.

Or those who are worried about inflammation or contraction or not able to get a treatment when something goes wrong.

"Because Noplant surgery barely has change of inflammation compare to artificial implant."

For example, those who got rhinoplasty with silicon and live in province, study abroad or live in foreign country are not able to visit for the treatment or revision surgery. So we recommend Noplant surgery!

2. Those who have high nose bridge

Those who have high nose bridge even with hump or droopy nose are suitable for Noplant surgery.

That's because there is no need for silicon implant after trim down the nose to make it high!

So, we can make smooth line by filling up with small amount of donated or own cartilage or dermis.

This gives very natural result but able to make higher bridge!

3. Those who have thin skin or want to achieve natural result.

If we use foreign object like silicon to those who have thin skin, the implant might be reflected or looks unnatural. So we recommend Noplant surgery.

To achieve beautiful and natural nose shape, our doctors grind cartilage to make the shape and wrap around with fascia to maintain the shape and enhance softness. Also it minimized absorption rate which is GNG Hospital's specialty.

Ingredient and technic of Noplant surgery are already proved by several theses and internationally well known. Noplant surgery has so many successful cases.

"All these are possible at GNG Hospital because our experienced doctors diagnose patient's condition precisely and understand their needs."

Rhinoplasty with Silicone. Is it Safe?

Silicone is the most common and popular material for rhinoplasty.

Though GNG Hospital is famous for 'no-plant' rhinoplasty, depend on patients' aesthetic achievement, silicone is used very often for rhinoplasty.

As the silicone is artificial material, many patients worry about complications after surgery. Thus, you need to check doctor's career and surgery cases before you decide your surgery.

There are few shortcomings of silicone implant. Silicone can be shown as your skin become thinner as you aged. However, at GNG Hospital, silicone is covered with fascia to prevent the symptom!

In the past, 'L' shaped silicone was popular to make higher bridge. Since the silicone is long and covering nasal tip as well, there is more possibility of infection and skin thinning.

To minimize all the possibility of complications, GNG Hospital uses patient's cartilage for tip projection and silicone for bridge.
