D. Materials used in rhinoplasty S Line alloplastic implants.
Alloplastic implants are quite popular such as: silicone, surgiform, gore-tex, siligore (or goresili).
+ Silicone material.
This filler material is suitable for individuals who wish nasal wing reduction and has a soft, natural dorsum, while the real nose is low or both sides of the nose are not symmetrical, with lots of excess skin. When performing rhinoplasty surgery, silicone implant is used safely and popularly for a long time, and is still the first choice of doctors at specialized cosmetic hospitals.
The differences between surgiform implants, Gore-Tex, ePTFE, and Silicone.
Advantages: more flexible, make the nose shape more natural.
Disadvantages: It becomes difficult to remove after a period of time, and the material may shrink, causing your nose to appear lower than before.

Surgiform implants Rhinoplasty, Sili-gore or Silitex.
Sili-gore is a specialized material that features a thin layer of Gore-tex bonded to a silicone base, specifically for customers with very thin nasal skin.
Rhinoplasty process.
A beautiful nose has a length of the nose equal to 1/3 of the length of the face, the width of the wing is equal to the distance between the two eyes. The triangle angle of the nose is between 95 to 105 degrees and the tip of the nose must be slightly higher than the middle of the nose, at the same time the shape of the (nasal dorsum) from the forehead angle to the nose pillar has an S shape will be considered a beautiful nose.
Two techniques in Rhinoplasty are closed and open rhinoplasty, closed rhinoplasty is used for korean S-line method or implant covered rhinoplasty. Open rhinoplasty is for the structural nose.
1. Closed rhinoplasty technique.
This procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The nose (nasal) augmentation typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes to complete, though more complex cases may require additional time.
During the nasal augmentation procedure, the surgeon will make a small 1 cm incision inside the nose. The nasal skin is then separated from the bone and cartilage framework, and an alloplastic implant is inserted to shape the nose as desired. The natural appearance of the new nose will depend on your original nose shape, as well as the skill and technique of the surgeon.
In the case of nose lift with cartilage covering the tip of the nose, the surgeon will take additional ear cartilage to wrap it around the alloplastic implant. This technique helps to avoid the common issues of redness or a point nasal tip with simple alloplastic implants in rhinoplasty.
Advantages: low-cost, simple surgery.
Disadvantage: This primarily enhances the dorsum of the nose but does not lengthen the tip. Over time, the nasal implant may become visible, especially causing the tip to become sharp and red if only an artificial implant is used without covering the tip with cartilage. Additionally, there is a low risk of allergic reactions or infections due to the body's incompatibility with foreign materials.
2. Open Rhinoplasty Technique for Structural Rhinoplasty.
Structural Rhinoplasty refers to the open surgical technique that uses cartilage from the ear, rib cartilage, and septal cartilage to shape the tip of the nose, while the remaining two-thirds of the nose is constructed using synthetic materials (such as silicone or surgiform). This method is known as structural rhinoplasty combined with Alloplastic implants, or partially structural rhinoplasty. If the two-thirds of the nasal bridge utilizes rib cartilage (without Alloplastic implants), it is referred to as total rib cartilage structural rhinoplasty.
This method is applied in cases where shaping the nose tip with the patient’s own cartilage is desired. It is considered the most effective surgical technique for achieving a beautiful and perfect nose, commonly known as structural rhinoplasty, ear cartilage rhinoplasty, or rib cartilage rhinoplasty. The structural rhinoplasty procedure is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia.
Structural Rhinoplasty under Local Anesthesia or General Anesthesia.
This surgical method typically takes between 60 to 90 minutes. The surgeon will make incisions through the columella (the skin between the nostrils), then use your cartilage (from the ear, rib, or septum) to shape the tip of the nose.
In cases where the nasal dorsum is crooked, the surgeon needs to file down the bump using a rasping tool on the nasal bone, compressing the bone on both sides to help achieve a more refined and slender nasal shape. The ear or rib cartilage will also be trimmed to fit the tip of the nose. Finally, synthetic Alloplastic implants will be inserted to elevate the upper two-thirds of the nasal dorsum.
Advantages: Structural Rhinoplasty can be created with a lengthened nose, extremely pretty nose, without redness and a pointed bridge at the tip of the nose.
Disadvantages: high cost, complicated surgery. Furthermore, two-third the nasal dorsum which uses alloplastic implants may be allergic, infected because the body is not compatible with foreign objects.
Look after post-operative S-Line Rhinoplasty, Structural Rhinoplasty.
A small bandage will cover the bridge, while a plastic cover will be affixed to the bone and alloplastic implant to enhance the nose's shape, creating a more beautiful and symmetrical appearance.
Especially in the first 24 hours after the procedure of S-Line, Structural Rhinoplasty, your nose will be swollen and a little sore. You are able to use the prescribed painkiller of the surgeon to limit the phenomena. You should rest in bed with your head elevated (except when you have to go to the bathroom) on the first day after S Line Rhinoplasty .
The area around the eyes will be swollen and bruised the next day. Applying an ice pack for the first 2 days will help reduce the bruising and make you feel less uncomfortable.
In fact, S Line rhinoplasty, structural rhinoplasty does not make you feel as much pain as you previously thought. The swelling, pain and bruising will gradually fade and automatically disappear in about 5 to 10 days later.
In general, after breast augmentation, rhinoplasty is one of the most popular surgeries in the modern world.
What is total rib cartilage rhinoplasty (full rib cartilage structural rhinoplasty) - Advantages and disadvantages?
Full rib cartilage rhinoplasty means that your entire nose (nose bridge + tip + nose column) be shaped by the surgeon entirely using your own rib cartilage.
Firstly, the doctor will take your rib cartilage and the doctor will carve the rib cartilage into 2 parts, 1 part will be used to shape the tip of the nose and the nose column to help the nose column, the tip of your nose higher and longer (if the tip of the nose is short), the remaining part will be used to carve into the bridge of the nose - This method is also known as full rib cartilage structural rhinoplasty.
Advantages: For those who are allergic to alloplastic implants , full rib cartilage rhinoplasty is the optimal solution to avoid allergic reactions to alloplastic implants.
Disadvantages: The technique is complicated so the cost is much higher than structural rhinoplasty combined with alloplastic implants.
What is an attractive nose for men, and is rhinoplasty more difficult for men than for women?
- The male nose, when viewed from the side, tends to look straighter compared to that of women.
- When performing rhinoplasty on men, the ideal angle between the tip of the nose and the upper lip is around 90 to 95 degrees.
- A man's nose should appear longer and larger to emphasize masculinity.
- The nose and nasal tip of men are generally broader than those of women.
