Safe and Aesthetic Rhinoplasty: Enhancing Facial Dimension

สารบัญ

Rhinoplasty stands as a premier cosmetic surgery choice in contemporary times, enhancing facial harmony and bolstering self-assurance to seamlessly integrate into society. Prior to undergoing this transformative procedure, thorough research and consultation with a specialized surgeon are imperative to ensure a safe and satisfactory outcome.

What is Rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, a surgical procedure aimed at reshaping the nose, achieves a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing facial profile by enhancing proportions and addressing nasal prominence or bridge irregularities. Beyond cosmetic enhancement, it serves to correct deformities resulting from trauma, injuries, or congenital anomalies, and resolves breathing difficulties associated with nasal obstructions.

Varieties of Rhinoplasty Techniques: Exploring Surgical Approaches

Rhinoplasty Options at SEOUL CLINIC THAILAND:

  1. Closed Rhinoplasty:

This technique offers non-invasive nose augmentation, popular for its affordability and quick recovery. With minimal incisions and no need for anesthesia, it provides immediate post-procedure nose assessment. Ideal for individuals seeking subtle enhancements or undergoing their first nose surgery.

  1. Semi-Open Rhinoplasty:

Combining aspects of closed and open techniques, semi-open rhinoplasty involves incisions on both nostrils, allowing for better visibility of nasal structure compared to closed procedures. Not as invasive as open rhinoplasty, it offers the added benefit of interdome suturing and tip refinement. Suited for individuals desiring moderate changes, especially those with concerns like large or drooping nasal tips.

  1. Open Nose Reconstruction:

This approach involves a more extensive incision at the base of the nose, providing direct access to nasal structures for precise adjustments. Offering versatility and comprehensive correction, it is suitable for individuals with diverse nasal concerns, including short noses or limited nasal definition, seeking significant transformation and refinement.

Of the three methods, semi-open rhinoplasty and open nose reconstruction are currently favored, tailored to individual nasal anatomy and desired outcomes.

Comparative Analysis of Rhinoplasty Techniques: Pros and Cons of Open, Closed, and Semi-Open Approaches

Implant Options for Rhinoplasty

1. Silicone Implants:

- Prefabricated Silicone:

Utilized in rhinoplasty, prefabricated silicone implants offer predictability in nasal augmentation with minimal risk of malposition. Variants like Mantis, Barbie, and DUAL MIX SOFT silicone ensure compliance with FDA standards and exhibit biocompatibility, reducing the likelihood of adverse reactions. Customization by our skilled surgeons ensures seamless integration and aesthetic harmony with individual facial contours.

- Self-Moldable Silicone:

Presented in bar or block forms, self-moldable silicone mandates precise sculpting by surgeons to tailor-fit nasal anatomy. Despite its malleability, shaping requires meticulous attention and may prolong operative duration, potentially leading to errors.

2. Cartilage Grafts:

Cartilage rhinoplasty offers distinct advantages, notably mitigating long-term risks of nasal tip perforation by augmenting skin thickness. Harvested from various anatomical sites, including the ear and rib, cartilage grafts provide natural-looking augmentation while minimizing direct contact between silicone implants and nasal skin, promoting tissue integrity and enhancing aesthetic outcomes.

- Ear Cartilage:

Frequently sourced due to its subtle curvature and minimal impact on ear aesthetics, ear cartilage grafts offer reliable augmentation. Post-operative care entails meticulous wound management and temporary hair washing restrictions.

- Rib Cartilage:

Despite its procedural complexity, rib cartilage grafts provide ample material for significant nasal augmentation. However, this technique necessitates precise surgical expertise and entails a longer recovery period, alongside careful incision and wound care management.

Closed Rhinoplasty and Semi-Open Rhinoplasty

Currently, the most prevalent method of nose augmentation involves the use of silicone rods to enhance both the nasal bridge and tip. To bolster the nasal tip, artificial tissue or fatty cartilage sourced from behind the ear is employed, providing support without direct contact with the nose. This technique not only elevates the nasal tip but also helps prevent perforation. At SEOUL CLINIC THAILAND, our approach integrates softness using the QDPL technique, comprising four layers of nasal tip support, including ear cartilage, ear fat tissue, ear tissue, and specialized TIP BALL tissue, ensuring long-term smoothness.
However, closed and semi-open rhinoplasty procedures may not always address diverse nasal concerns as they primarily involve silicone augmentation without internal structural modifications or nasal septum adjustments. Consequently, the outcome heavily relies on silicone shape, as well as factors like skin quality, original nasal base, and tissue flexibility. Therefore, precise silicone insertion is crucial to achieving satisfactory results.
In cases where nasal limitations or deformities exist, such as insufficient material for a high or prominent nose, or multiple revisions leading to membrane formation hindering noticeable changes, OPEN nose correction becomes imperative.

Who is Close and Semi-Open Rhinoplasty suitable for?

Ideal for individuals undergoing their first nose surgery with no structural nasal issues and relatively uncomplicated nasal concerns. This encompasses patients seeking new nose augmentation, especially those desiring moderately elevated or naturally sloped noses.

What is rhinoplasty osteotomy?

Nasal Base Osteoplasty, a method involving precision Nasal Osteotomy, addresses the issue of a wide nose base. By strategically reshaping the nasal bone, it enhances the appearance of the nasal tip, narrows the base, and creates a more slender profile. This procedure, popularized in Korea, offers transformative results, particularly for individuals with wide nose bases, restoring facial harmony and clarity of nasal contours.

Alar Base Reduction Rhinoplasty

Utilizing rhinoplasty coupled with alarplasty, our aim is to address the genetic predisposition in Asian individuals characterized by a shortened nasal base and widened alar wings. By elegantly enhancing the nasal bridge while refining the alar contours, we achieve a harmonious facial profile in a single procedure.

Alar reduction procedures, typically focusing on the lateral wings consisting of skin and muscle, meticulous attention is paid to concealing incisions along the nasal margins. The delicate interplay between the nasal base, bridge, and upper nose is carefully considered to achieve optimal balance. Post-surgery, a reduction in nostril size contributes to the overall refinement of nasal aesthetics.

Alar Base Reduction Surgery Procedure

  1. Collaborate with the physician to strategize the surgical approach.
  2. Thoroughly cleanse the nasal cavity and targeted operative site.
  3. Administer local or general anesthesia, especially for open rhinoplasty procedures.
  4. Commence surgical intervention by excising redundant tissue and refining the nasal base structure, typically lasting 30-45 minutes for flap surgery.
  5. Close incisions with sutures and allow approximately one hour for post-operative recovery.
  6. Schedule a follow-up appointment for stitch removal and assessment after one week.

Preparation before Rhinoplasty Surgery

  1. Abstain from smoking and alcohol consumption for a minimum of one week prior to surgery.
  2. Avoid anti-inflammatory painkillers, such as aspirin, to minimize bruising from postoperative bleeding; if necessary, opt for Paracetamol for pain relief only.
  3. Cease intake of vitamins, cod liver oil, and dietary supplements, as they may affect blood clotting.
  4. Steer clear of fermented foods, pickles, carbonated beverages, and seafood.
  5. For patients requiring sedation during surgery, refrain from food and water intake for at least eight hours prior. Ensure thorough hair washing and abstain from applying lotion or nail polish on the day of surgery.

Semi-Open Silicone Rhinoplasty at SEOUL CLINIC THAILAND

Semi-Open Rhinoplasty at Seoul Clinic Thailand involves making two discreet incisions within the nostrils, allowing for precise augmentation using medical-grade silicone implants. This popular technique offers minimal downtime and is ideal for patients with sufficient nasal tissue. Additional enhancements, such as Interdomal Suture to refine the nasal tip, can be incorporated for a lifted and slender appearance.

While complementary techniques like cartilage support from behind the ear and bone base nailing at the nose bridge are possible, they may not suit individuals with specific nasal characteristics or desired corrections. End support with ear cartilage reduces tip tightness and lowers perforation risks, while nose ridge base hammering delicately reshapes the nasal bridge for a sleeker profile.

Post-operative guidelines after Rhinoplasty

Following proper behavior after rhinoplasty or nose augmentation is crucial for a successful recovery. Here are some important guidelines to follow during the first 72 hours after surgery:

 

  1. Apply cold compresses to areas of the face not near the surgical site to reduce swelling and stop blood flow.
  2. If bleeding occurs within 48 hours, gently wipe the area with a cotton swab soaked in saline.
  3. After 72 hours, use warm compresses to reduce discoloration.
  4. Avoid dusty environments for about a week to prevent coughing and sneezing.
  5. Consume soft foods and avoid hard foods to prevent strain on the surgical site.
  6. Keep the wound dry for at least 3 days and avoid picking or rubbing the nose.
  7. Refrain from sleeping on your stomach to prevent pressure on the nose.
  8. Seek immediate medical attention for any abnormal symptoms.

 

It’s essential to thoroughly research and consult with a specialist before undergoing rhinoplasty to minimize complications. Strictly adhering to your doctor’s instructions is key to a safe and successful recovery.

Corrective Rhinoplasty: Utilizing Cartilage, Tissue, and Fat Grafting from Behind the Ear

“Hi there, I’m Mind and I’ve had several procedures done at Seoul Clinic Pattaya, starting with fat grafting and cheek augmentation to freshen up my appearance. Eventually, I decided it was time to address issues with my nose after noticing it thinning and the tip becoming prominent.

Before the fix, my nose had a protruding appearance, giving me a fierce look that aged me. But during the procedure, I felt completely comfortable thanks to the anesthesia options available. The surgery involved removing cartilage and tissue from behind my ear, which was painless, followed by work on my nose that took about 50 minutes.

Afterward, I experienced minimal swelling and found wearing the cast provided great support. Within a month, the results were stunning! My new nose fits my face perfectly, making me feel confident and receiving compliments wherever I go.

The follow-up appointments ensured everything was on track, and I couldn’t be happier with the smoother, more youthful appearance I now have. Looking forward to seeing the final results in the coming months!”
