What is Simple Rhinoplasty?

Simple rhinoplasty is also known as an augmentation rhinoplasty. For people with a low nose, a simple rhinoplasty involving the placement of an implant in the nose can raise the nasal bridge.

At our affiliated clinic, there are 2 methods in which rhinoplasty can be done: Autoplasty and Handmade Prosthesis

Autoplasty

Autoplasty is a procedure where natural cartilages are harvested. The areas where cartilages can be harvested are either from inside of the nostrils, ear, or the ribs. The cartilages obtained are known as autogenous cartilage.

There is a particular cartilage that can be harvested from inside of the nostrils itself to perform rhinoplasty without making incisions on other parts of the body, known as nasal septal cartilage. The harvested cartilage can elevate nasal tip as well as nasal bridge to create sharp and refined looking nose.

The cartilage in the ear is commonly used as it is easy to harvest, great in elasticity, smooth and does not leave any visible hollowness. It functions in the nostrils to slightly raise the nose tip or to reshape the existing cartilage.

The cartilage that can be harvested from the ribs are known as costal cartilage. Harvesting from the tip of a rib happens when there is not enough of the septal or ear cartilage. Since cartilage from this part of the body provides strong support, it is used in case of severe contracture deformation or severe nose immersion.

In some cases, autologous dermis, the tissue of the coccyx area between the hips is also harvested for the use on the nose with thin skin. Moreover, it is also used combining with the cartilage to reduce body absorption, suitable for creating less foreign and achieve a natural shape.

Another method is to harvest fascia, a thin film surrounding muscles. The harvest site for this is usually at the peritoneum of the scalp above the ear. It is used for thin skin as well as for the surgery to heighten nose bridge. Since the incision is made at the scalp, no scarring would be visible and the extraction procedure is relatively simple.

JK Handmade Prosthesis

JK Handmade Prosthesis are recommended for the ones who aim for a refined design.

There are 2 types of handmade prosthesis available at our affiliated clinic, Gore-Tex and Silicon.

Gore-Tex prosthesis can be used in patients with thinner skin due to its softer and more natural shape than Silicon. It assimilates relatively well with the biological tissue in the nostrils.

Silicon has sophisticated shapes, allowing it to remain unchanged and will not be absorbed over time after the surgery. With various shapes available, it allows itself to be sculpted properly to match its nose shape. Note that prior to choosing Silicon as the prosthesis, it is important to check patient's skin condition and thickness as Silicon can be a strong material for thin skin.

How it Works

A small incision is created inside the nose and then an implant is inserted and put in place.
Sutures will then be done at the incision site.
