GNG Plastic Surgery Hospital: 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
