Simple rhinoplasty: It mainly solves the problem of low nose bridge. By making an incision in the nostril and implanting a willow-shaped or L-shaped prosthesis to beautify the nose tip and nasal dorsum.

Prosthesis plus ear cartilage rhinoplasty: On the basis of simple rhinoplasty, ear cartilage is used in combination to provide better support and shaping of the nose tip and avoid the nose tip being compressed by the prosthesis.

Septal cartilage + willow-shaped prosthesis rhinoplasty: An open incision of the columella is used to support and extend the nose tip with the septal cartilage, and the willow-shaped prosthesis is combined to raise the root of the nose and the nasal dorsum.

Costal cartilage rhinoplasty: This is a more complex rhinoplasty surgery. It is done by taking out autologous costal cartilage for carving and then implanting it into the nose to improve the problems of the bridge of the nose, nose tip, nose wing and other parts, so as to achieve the overall beautification of the nose.

Autologous fat rhinoplasty: Fat is extracted from other parts of the body (such as thighs, buttocks, waist and abdomen) using liposuction technology, and injected into the bridge of the nose after processing to achieve the effect of rhinoplasty.

II.Choose the right rhinoplasty surgery

1.Evaluate the individual's nose condition

Analyze the needs:Determine the plastic surgery goals based on personal aesthetics and needs, such as whether you want a more upright nose bridge, a more delicate nose tip, or a smaller nose wing.

2.Consult a professional doctor

Face-to-face consultation:Choose a plastic surgeon with rich experience and good reputation for face-to-face consultation. The doctor will give professional advice based on your facial proportions, basic nose conditions and personal needs.

Discuss the plan:Discuss the surgical plan in detail with the doctor, including the surgical method, material selection, expected results, risks and complications. Make sure you fully understand and agree with the surgical plan.

3.Choose the right material

Autologous cartilage:such as ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage, rib cartilage, etc. Autologous cartilage has the advantages of no rejection and easy shaping, but the material is limited and may increase trauma.

Prosthetic materials:such as silicone, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, etc. Prosthetic materials have the advantages of good stability and easy carving, but there are risks such as light transmission and displacement.

4.Evaluate risks and complications

Any surgery has risks and complications, and rhinoplasty is no exception. When choosing a surgical method, be sure to fully understand the possible risks and complications, such as infection, bleeding, prosthesis displacement, nasal skin necrosis, etc. And discuss with the doctor how to reduce risks and prevent complications.

III.Common misunderstandings and truths about rhinoplasty

Misunderstanding 1: Rhinoplasty is simply to raise the bridge of the nose

Truth:Rhinoplasty is far more than just raising the bridge of the nose. It involves a comprehensive transformation of the nose, including the bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose, the wings of the nose, the columella and other parts. The doctor will tailor the surgical plan according to the facial features, personal needs and overall temperament of the beauty seeker to achieve a harmonious and natural aesthetic effect.

Misunderstanding 2: Rhinoplasty can imitate the nose shape of celebrities at will

Truth:Everyone's facial structure and basic conditions are different, and blindly imitating the nose shape of celebrities is not advisable. The doctor will evaluate the nose conditions of the beauty seeker in detail during the consultation, and design the most suitable surgical plan based on his personal temperament and facial proportions. Therefore, the best one is the one that suits you.

Misunderstanding 3: The more expensive the material for rhinoplasty, the better

Truth:The choice of rhinoplasty materials should be based on personal circumstances, not the more expensive the better. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and silicone have their own advantages and disadvantages. For example, although expanded polytetrafluoroethylene can better adhere to its own tissue, it is difficult to remove; silicone is safe and easy to remove, but there may be problems with light transmission. Although autologous cartilage is a natural material, it may also have absorption problems. Therefore, the choice of material should take into account a variety of factors.

Misunderstanding 4: hinoplasty is a one-time solution, no subsequent maintenance is required

The truth:Although rhinoplasty can significantly improve the shape of the nose, it is not a one-time solution. After surgery, you need to follow the doctor's instructions for care, avoid strenuous exercise and hitting the nose, so as not to affect the effect of the surgery. At the same time, regular follow-up examinations are also necessary to promptly detect and deal with possible problems.

Misunderstanding 5: Rhinoplasty will definitely affect the voice

The truth:Rhinoplasty has little effect on the voice. Although nasal surgeries such as septoplasty may slightly change the structure of the nasal cavity, they usually do not have a significant effect on the voice. Therefore, there is no need to worry too much about rhinoplasty affecting the voice.
