Introduction
Generally, nose augmentation methods include implant rhinoplasty, autologous cartilage rhinoplasty, injectable rhinoplasty, thread lifting rhinoplasty, and autologous fat rhinoplasty. It is recommended to visit a qualified hospital and undergo the above procedures under the guidance of professional doctors to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the surgery. Postoperatively, it is important to avoid infection, keep the wound clean and dry, refrain from touching or pressing the nose, follow medical advice for medication, and attend follow-up appointments as instructed.
Generally, nose augmentation methods include implant rhinoplasty, autologous cartilage rhinoplasty, injectable rhinoplasty, thread lift rhinoplasty, and autologous fat rhinoplasty. A detailed explanation is as follows:
1. Implant Rhinoplasty
Implant rhinoplasty involves making an incision at an appropriate location on the nose and implanting pre-carved silicone or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) implants beneath the nasal fascia to increase nasal height and definition. The general reference price for implant rhinoplasty is 3,000–15,000 RMB per session. Results are typically visible within 1–3 months after surgery, but complications such as implant displacement or infection may occur.
2. Autologous Cartilage Rhinoplasty
Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty involves harvesting cartilage from different body areas—for example, ear cartilage is usually taken from the ear concha, rib cartilage from the 6th, 7th, or 8th rib, and septal cartilage from the nasal septum. After carving, the cartilage is implanted into the corresponding areas of the nose to improve nasal shape. The general reference price for autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is 10,000–30,000 RMB per session. Results are typically visible within 3–6 months after surgery, but complications such as pain or swelling may occur.
3. Injectable Rhinoplasty
Injectable rhinoplasty involves injecting hyaluronic acid or collagen into specific layers of the nose to increase nasal volume and reshape the nose. The general reference price for injectable rhinoplasty is 2,000–10,000 RMB per session. Results are typically visible within 1–2 days after the procedure, but complications such as redness or pain may occur.
4. Thread Lift Rhinoplasty
Thread lift rhinoplasty involves inserting absorbable protein threads through tiny incisions in the nose and placing them beneath the nasal skin. The lifting effect of the threads and their stimulation of collagen production help improve nasal shape. The general reference price for thread lift rhinoplasty is 3,000–10,000 RMB per session. Results are typically visible within 2–3 days after the procedure, but complications such as redness at the nasal tip or unsatisfactory nasal contour may occur.
5. Autologous Fat Rhinoplasty
Autologous fat rhinoplasty involves extracting fat from areas of the body with abundant fat, such as the abdomen or thighs. The fat is processed and purified before being injected into the nose. The general reference price for autologous fat rhinoplasty is 3,000–8,000 RMB per session. Results are typically visible within 1–2 months after the procedure, but complications such as infection or fat embolism may occur.
It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo these procedures under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety and effectiveness. Postoperative care should include preventing infection, keeping the wound clean and dry, avoiding touching or pressing the nose, following medical advice for medication, and attending follow-up appointments as scheduled.
