Preoperative
2 months after surgery
This is a patient who had only inserted a type I silicone prosthesis at another hospital. . The tip of the nose was formed straight and sharp by the nasal septum extension in the auricular cartilage transplantation. . The prosthesis was processed from what was originally in it to correct the bend. . With a beautifully curved nose, I got a very beautiful profile! .
The prosthesis is an artificial cartilage made of silicon that does not change in the body and maintains its effect permanently. By putting a prosthesis, the nose can be formed high. Cut through the hole in the nose and put the prosthesis into the place where the periosteum covering the bone has been peeled off.
It is a procedure to adjust the length and angle of the nose by inserting a thread into the nasal septum (the wall that divides the nasal hole into left and right) and transplanting its own cartilage. Among various nasal treatments, septal extension is said to be unsuitable for those who have a large change in appearance and want to make natural changes and who are resistant to large-scale treatments.
