What is used to fill during nasal bone correction?
Nasal bone correction can typically be achieved by filling with substances such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, or autologous cartilage. Specific details are as follows:
1. Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid can enhance the nose's height and three-dimensional appearance, and also serve to correct nasal bone irregularities. The procedure for injecting hyaluronic acid is simple and quick, leaves no wounds, and generally produces satisfactory results for nasal bone correction.
2. Collagen
Collagen is a natural component of the human body, so it rarely causes rejection after rhinoplasty. However, collagen is temporary and typically lasts from six months to one year before gradually being absorbed by the body. Repeated injections are required to maintain longer-lasting results.
3. Autologous Cartilage
Autologous cartilage grafting can correct nasal bone deformities. The cartilage used for grafting is usually harvested from the ear or rib. Individuals seeking aesthetic improvement should select the appropriate type of autologous cartilage based on their individual nasal structure. Because autologous cartilage does not provoke immune rejection and has excellent biocompatibility, it is suitable for nasal bone correction procedures.
Besides the materials mentioned above, other options such as synthetic implants are also available. If individuals experience nasal bone issues, they should promptly seek medical treatment at a hospital.
