There are several methods for nasal augmentation with implants.

Rhinoplasty with implants is a cosmetic surgical procedure that changes the shape of the nose by implanting suitable prosthetic materials. Currently, common methods of prosthetic rhinoplasty mainly include silicone implant rhinoplasty, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) implant rhinoplasty, and autologous cartilage rhinoplasty.

1. Silicone implant rhinoplasty: Silicone is a commonly used material for rhinoplasty due to its excellent elasticity, stability, and ease of carving and implantation. It is widely applied in prosthetic rhinoplasty procedures. Silicone implants can make the nose firmer and more elastic, effectively improving a collapsed nasal appearance.

2. ePTFE implant rhinoplasty: ePTFE is a biocompatible material that integrates well with nasal structures and is non-toxic and harmless. Rhinoplasty using ePTFE implants can potentially last a lifetime, as the material integrates with the nasal tissues, resulting in long-term natural-looking outcomes without visible signs of the implant.

3. Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty: This method involves using the patient's own cartilage for nasal augmentation. Since the cartilage is derived from the patient's own tissue, there is no risk of rejection, and the results are long-lasting.

When choosing a method for prosthetic rhinoplasty, it is important to communicate fully with your physician based on your personal needs and physical condition to determine the most suitable approach. Additionally, postoperative care and recovery are crucial—avoid strenuous physical activity and consumption of spicy or irritating foods to prevent compromising the surgical outcome.
