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.
