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

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.
