What is Nasal Dorsum Augmentation?
In such cases, nasal dorsum surgery (augmentation rhinoplasty) may provide facial balance and add a three-dimensional effect, engendering a more sophisticated impression.
The nose is not only related to the nasal bones, but also to the bony development of central facial. Therefore, so-called noble surgery (paranasal augmentation) is often performed at the same time. The nose also has static and moving aspects simultaneously. Through dynamic rhinoplasty, customized nasal dorsum surgery (augmentation rhinoplasty) is performed to fit an individual’s face.

Prosthesis types for Nasal Dorsum Augmentation
At Apgujeong YK Plastic surgery Clinic, only silastic implants and autologous tissues are used for augmentation rhinoplasty to correct a low-profile nose. Autologous tissues are preferred, but there are inadequacies of these tissues unless a patient’s ribs (costal bones) are used. Thus, synthetic materials are utilized to attain aesthetic satisfaction.
Autologous tissuesNasal septal cartilage
This cartilage is flat and curveless. It is used for raising the columella or lengthening the nose, in addition to nasal tip plasty.
Autologous dermis
Autologous dermis feels soft to the touch, but is limited for constructing a delicate or sleek contour. Thus, it is largely used for revision surgery.
Autologous fat
Owing to having virtually no foreign body sensations or complications, it is mainly used to making a natural nasal dorsum. However, autologous fat may be readily absorbed.
Ear cartilage
Its curved shape is suitable for augmention of the nasal tip.
Costal cartilage
Cartilages are located in the terminal ends of the costal (rib) bones. It is used to correct the nasal dorsum, tip and the septum.
Fascia
It is a band of fibrous connective tissue which attaches, encloses or separates muscles. Fascia is effective for patients with thin skin.
Silicone
Silicone implants are most frequently utilized in rhinoplasty. After surgery, this seemingly inert material usually does not change in shape and is not absorbed by the body. Thus, it is an appropriate material for rhinoplasty
Why are silicone implants utilized predominantly?
Silicone implants have been used for a long time. A silicone implant provides the security of safety and can be simply removed whenever a patient desires. Owing to a rather strong characteristic against inflammation, silicone utilization concurrently with autologous tissues may provide satisfactory results without complications.
