Is expanded polytetrafluoroethylene good for rhinoplasty? Which is better, silicone or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene?

Modern people love beauty very much, no matter they are boys or girls, the beauty or ugliness of a person's nose plays a big role. So is expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty good? Which one is better, silicone or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty?

1. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is a rhinoplasty material with very good compatibility and high stability. It can establish blood circulation with the body and fit naturally with the autologous tissue. After the operation, the nose will be perky and delicate, soft and elastic, and the effect is very satisfactory.

2. From a medical perspective, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is currently an ideal substitute for biological tissues. Due to its good biocompatibility and unique microporous structure, it is non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, non-allergenic and has no side effects. In addition, human tissue cells and blood vessels can grow into its micropores to form tissue connections, just like one's own tissues, which is safe and reliable.

3. The doctor will sculpt the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty according to the patient's facial condition and insert the sculpted prosthesis. The size, length, height and curve of the prosthesis are consistent with the patient's overall face. After the operation, the face will be soft, harmonious and coordinated as a whole.

4. The texture and feel of the expanded material are very close to normal nasal tissue. It has a special microporous structure, into which the body's tissue cells and blood vessels can grow to form a tissue connection. It does not move or deform, and is completely integrated with the nasal tissue. It is even less likely to penetrate the skin. It is also light in weight and does not feel like falling.

1. Take out the materials for comparison

Since the expanded material contains 80%-85% air, it is conducive to the growth of microvessels, close to permanent healing, and has the characteristics of tissue growth. After the tissue grows in, the prosthesis is not likely to shift. As long as the operation is done properly, the material can be completely removed. Silicone prostheses do not grow together with tissues in the body. Generally, the cavity where the prosthesis is placed during surgery will not change much. The prosthesis is wrapped in a layer of fiber capsule in the body like a piece of clothing, so removing the silicone prosthesis is as simple as taking something out of your pocket, and will not cause any damage to the surrounding tissues.

2. Comparison based on clinical response

Clinical observations have shown that expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (EPT) materials can be integrated with the nose when organic tissue grows into the nose. They are realistic and opaque, and are suitable for patients with thin nasal skin. Silicone prostheses do not change their shape over time and have a strong shaping effect.

3. Compare from the safety of materials

The safety of silicone rhinoplasty has been fully recognized and has become one of the mainstream rhinoplasty prostheses on the market. With the development of technology, the silicone used now has made a great leap forward compared to the past. Whether in terms of quality, life or integration with human tissue, it has been greatly improved and can be regarded as a safe and reliable rhinoplasty material.

Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an advanced material for rhinoplasty. It has good compatibility with the human body and will not cause any side effects to the human body. In principle, it does not need to be replaced for life. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) rhinoplasty is also called high-tex rhinoplasty or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) rhinoplasty. The main material of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) rhinoplasty is a flexible and relatively safe subcutaneous implant. It is mainly used for rhinoplasty in the field of medical plastic surgery. So far, no safety accidents have been found caused by expanded polytetrafluoroethylene implants. Since expanded polytetrafluoroethylene is highly plastic, it is easy to carve various shapes. As long as the aesthetic sense of the plastic surgeon is good, it is generally easy to design the rhinoplasty effect that the patient wants.

1. The use of infected materials is one of the causes of the sequelae of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty, because when performing expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty, there are many micropores in the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material, and blood vessels or some tissues will grow into the micropores, which is more conducive to the growth of bacteria. Therefore, the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material is very easy to be infected. For this reason, when performing expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty, it is necessary to ensure that the operation is performed under strict sterile conditions, and the doctor must be experienced and skilled.

2. Poor three-dimensional effect. Some people have poor three-dimensional effect after expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty. Why is this? Experts say that this is mainly caused by the doctor's inadequate carving skills. However, a skilled doctor can still create a very beautiful nose with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty.

3. It is not easy to remove. There is a saying that if there is a problem after expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty, it is not easy to remove. Indeed, compared with silicone, it is more complicated. But it is not impossible to remove. For experienced hospitals, the removal of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene rhinoplasty is even simpler than silicone.
