Introduction
The principle of expanded rhinoplasty involves implanting expanded materials with a microporous structure into the nose to improve nasal shape, achieving an aesthetically pleasing and natural result. The general reference price for rhinoplasty ranges from 5,000 to 30,000 yuan. Noticeable improvement is usually observed within 7 to 10 days, although the exact cost may vary depending on factors such as the type of expanded material used, surgical complexity, anesthesia method, and postoperative care.
Generally, the principle of ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) rhinoplasty involves implanting ePTFE material with a microporous structure into the nose to improve nasal contour and achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing result. The general reference price for rhinoplasty ranges from 5,000 to 30,000 yuan. Noticeable improvement is usually observed within 7-10 days, although the exact cost may vary depending on factors such as the type of ePTFE material used, surgical complexity, anesthesia method, postoperative care, and local living expenses. This procedure should be performed at a qualified medical facility. Detailed analysis is as follows:
1. ePTFE Material: There are various types of materials used for ePTFE rhinoplasty. Silicone, which has a relatively lower cost, generally has a reference price between 5,000 and 10,000 yuan. In comparison, polytetrafluoroethylene offers better biocompatibility and stability, with a reference price potentially reaching 15,000 to 30,000 yuan.
2. Surgical Complexity: If the nasal foundation is already good and only simple ePTFE augmentation is required, the reference price typically ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. However, if additional procedures such as tip塑形, alar base reduction, or columellar extension are needed to achieve comprehensive nasal enhancement, the surgical complexity increases, and the reference price may rise accordingly, usually ranging from 25,000 to 30,000 yuan.
3. Anesthesia Method: General anesthesia is more costly compared to local anesthesia. The reference price for ePTFE rhinoplasty under general anesthesia may range from 15,000 to 20,000 yuan, whereas the price under local anesthesia may range from 8,000 to 20,000 yuan.
4. Postoperative Care and Follow-up: Postoperative care is necessary after ePTFE rhinoplasty, including maintaining wound cleanliness and dryness and preventing infection. Facilities offering comprehensive postoperative services may charge a reference price of 15,000 to 30,000 yuan, while those offering basic postoperative guidance may charge between 5,000 and 10,000 yuan.
5. Local Living Expenses: The cost of the surgery may vary depending on the local economic level. For example, the same procedure might cost between 20,000 and 30,000 yuan in a first-tier city, but only between 5,000 and 15,000 yuan in a second-tier city.
After undergoing ePTFE rhinoplasty, it is important to keep the wound clean and dry, avoid contact with water, disinfect regularly, and remove blood crusts and secretions. Pressure dressing or cold compress may be needed when necessary. Regarding dietary and lifestyle care, patients should avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late, and refrain from strenuous physical activity.
