What type of nose is suitable for silicone rhinoplasty? What type of silicone is used?
What shape will it have after the procedure?
Rhinoplasty is popular among Asians who often do not have a high nose bridge like Europeans. Therefore, the nose can be made into a high bridge using silicone rods.
The procedure should be balanced with the face, and the shape should still look natural and fit the overall face.
Things to consider when using silicone for rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty with a simple surgical procedure ( Close Rhinoplasty ) where the doctor will use synthetic materials to perform the nose, such as silicone nose, which will be surgically inserted through a small incision inside the nostril.

It is suitable for patients who already have a good original nose shape, such as a base of the nose that is not too big, a bridge of the nose that is not too flat, and a shape that is not crooked and not too long or short because if the nose is the right length, it can be augmented with silicone. However, it is limited because it is not suitable for people with a short nose (Short Nose).

Open Rhinoplasty
Open rhinoplasty technique,
Nose reconstruction is a surgical procedure that opens the wound at the base of both nostrils. The structure can be completely rebuilt by opening the wound at the base of both nostrils to reveal the internal structure in every part. This allows the doctor to analyze the problem precisely and correct various nose shapes. The tip of the nose can be raised safely with cartilage. The tip is silicone-free, so there is no need to worry about it breaking through. The nose shape can be designed as desired with attention to every detail. Open rhinoplasty is a very popular rhinoplasty technique in Korea and is becoming more popular in Thailand as well as in the cosmetic surgery industry worldwide. This is because open rhinoplasty can perform a nose bridge augmentation surgery along with improving the internal structure of the nose. It also adjusts the shape of the nose tip to be more pointed, slender, and beautiful according to the patient's needs. This technique meets the needs of both male and female rhinoplasty.
Open rhinoplasty without silicone at the tip, what material is used instead?
• Nose augmentation with your own ribs

What type of nose is suitable for Thai women's face shapes?
The facial structure of each man and woman is different. Of course, each face shape has a suitable nose shape. Today, I would like to introduce the face shape of Thai women. Which nose shape is suitable?
Long, slender face
Men or women with long, slender faces are mostly suitable for a sloped nose with a pointed tip, or in short, a Korean nose. For people with long, slender faces, having a sloped nose with a pointed tip will help the face have more dimensions and look more prominent.
Round face
Men or women with round faces are mostly suitable for a teardrop nose shape because the bridge of the nose that protrudes in the shape of a teardrop will make the round face look slimmer, helping to make the face look more proportionate and tight.
The face has angles
For men or women with square faces, most of them are suitable for a sloped nose with an upturned tip. For those with a square facial structure, they should have a nose with an upturned tip. This will make the face look sharp because it matches the face with square angles, making it look upturned and expensive, like Western models.
Oval face
Men or women with oval faces are mostly suitable for all nose shapes because they have a face shape that is more advantageous than other face shapes. No matter what beautiful nose shape you have, those nose shapes will always look good on an oval face, whether it is a teardrop nose, a sloped nose with a pointed tip, or a sloped nose with an upturned tip. It is considered a face shape that really suits all nose shapes.
Degrees for measuring nose shape
The shape of the nose when turned sideways is considered to be the most appropriate angle because it is the shape that everyone is most interested in. Whether it is young men or women, they always talk about the shape of the nose when turned sideways. But I will try to show another angle about what the appropriate shape of the nose should be according to the theory as follows.
These four degrees determine the shape of the sides of our nose.
First degree (nasofrontal angle)
The nose of men or women when looking sideways has only these components: the height of the nose at the eyes compared to the forehead and the bridge of the nose. In short, it should be a slightly obtuse angle. Even easier, it should be slightly lower than the forehead, which is the “slope” that everyone talks about. But if it is a right angle, it means that the bridge of the nose may look too sharp. If it is a straight line, it means that the bridge of the nose is too high and hard. That means our forehead is not prominent or flat. Therefore, the nose in this area should not be too high because it will make the nose look too hard. The angle in this area for men may be a bit wide, meaning that the bridge of the nose will look high and the bridge of the nose a bit clearer. For women, the emphasis will be on the slope, meaning that the height of the nose at the eyes is a bit low, which will make them look sweeter.
Second degree (nasolabial angle)
The second angle is the angle at the tip of the nose compared to the mouth. For girls, it might be around 100 - 110 degrees, or a wider angle than a right angle. It will give the impression that the tip is pointed and upturned. But for guys, it might have to be around a right angle. And if we compare Thai girls with Korean girls, this angle of Korean girls is a little wider than ours. But normally, Korean girls have an average nose length that is much longer than Thai girls.
The fact that the angle of Korean girls' noses looks wide or high does not make their noses look short. If you observe carefully, you will see that the angle at the tip of the nose can also determine the length of the nose. If the angle is narrower, the nose will look longer or may look like a teardrop, but it may look less pointed. Or if the angle is wider, the nose will look a little shorter, but it will look more pointed forward. Now, I would like to expand on this a little bit more like this.
For me, the word “protruding” means that the second degree or nasolabial angle is wider than 90 degrees. As for the teardrop nose, it means that this angle is less than 90 degrees, which means that these two things are completely different. They are like parallel paths that do not meet. They cannot be in the same person.
Third/fourth degree or last two degrees (facial convexity and total facial convexity)
Most Thai guys and girls want a nose like Koreans. So I will compare it with Korean noses. The last two degrees, Koreans will have narrower degrees than Thais. Narrower means that the middle of the face is more prominent or more pointed in the front than the chin. The tip of the nose is more prominent, meaning that Koreans have a prominent middle of the face and tip of the nose. So if you want a sloped nose with a pointed tip like Koreans, the first degree is a narrow, obtuse angle. The second degree is a little wider than 90 degrees. And the last degree should look a little narrower to make the tip of the nose stand out.
However, whether or not you can get a nose job in the shape you choose depends on the condition of the tissue and the original physical structure of each person, as I mentioned above. For patients who really don't know which type to choose, you can consult with the doctors at Masterpiece Hospital for the beauty and safety of everyone.
How to take care after surgery
• Apply a cold compress or ice pack around the nose for 1-3 days, such as on both cheeks and forehead (do not apply directly to the nose). After that, if there is a bruise, use warm water soaked in a washcloth or a hot water bag to apply.
• After surgery, 24-48 hours, you may feel a headache, pain or congestion in the nose and ears, and some facial swelling. Take painkillers and take anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by your doctor.
• After surgery, the doctor will place nasal packings in both nostrils to splint the nose. This may make breathing difficult. Instead, breathe through your mouth.
• The patient must come in for an injection of antibiotics and have the nasal packing removed from the nostrils the day after surgery at the clinic with an experienced nurse
(do not remove it yourself).
• The nose may be most swollen for about 2-3 days. The splint will help reduce the swelling and help straighten the nose. It will be removed on day 7 with stitches removed
(do not remove it yourself).
What should you do after a nose job?
Rhinoplasty is considered a top 5 surgical procedure that young men and women are interested in. The most popular point is probably rhinoplasty because the wound is small, there is little pain, and the shape that is done looks much more natural than before. In addition, doctors have introduced new techniques to help, and the materials and equipment used have been developed to be more advanced.
Before men or women decide to choose a cosmetic surgery clinic, they should consider carefully and should consult directly with the surgeon first before making a decision. The doctor will advise on how to behave both before and after surgery so that the body can recover to normal faster.
Taking care of yourself after a nose job is another important thing that should not be neglected. Because if the new nose job is well taken care of, it will result in a beautiful nose that fits the shape that men or women want.
There are methods of practice that doctors have advised as follows:
• After rhinoplasty, do not let the wound get wet for about 1 week because if the wound gets wet, it will easily become inflamed and infected.
• Avoid sleeping on your side or lying flat for about 1 month to prevent the material or silicone used for nose augmentation from moving and tilting easily.
• It is recommended to sleep with your head elevated higher than normal in the early stages or you may sleep sitting up for the first 3 days to reduce swelling and help the silicone tighten the nasal bridge faster.
• If there is swelling or bruising, you can use a cold compress, such as using a cold cloth or a clean cloth wrapped in ice for the first 3 days, and then switch to a warm compress instead if the swelling starts to improve.
• Avoid picking, scratching, or scratching the area where the nose was augmented. This may cause the nose to become crooked and distorted.
• Avoid activities that may cause impact, such as playing sports, exercising, riding in a vibrating vehicle, and having sex.
• Avoid wearing makeup for 1 month because the substances in some cosmetics may affect the nose that has undergone surgery.
• Avoid weather conditions or environments that cause coughing, sneezing, or a runny nose, as these may affect the surgical wound area.
• You can use cotton or a soft cloth soaked in water to wipe your face instead of washing your face normally to prevent bumps and impacts to the nose area.
• The wound should be cleaned twice a day, morning and evening, every day continuously, using a cotton swab soaked in saline to clean the wound and wipe away the blood in the nostrils and apply Betadine.
• Avoid other cosmetic procedures such as laser and facial filler injections for the first month to avoid inflammation and possible side effects.
• Stop smoking for about 2-4 weeks because it will affect the wound healing or make it heal more slowly.
• Relax and don't worry too much about the shape of your nose because in the early stages after a nose job, there may be some swelling. You have to wait a while until your nose is in place.
• You should take your medication as prescribed by your doctor and visit your doctor for every scheduled appointment for good follow-up.
Preparation before open rhinoplasty
Have a thorough physical examination and inform the doctor of any history of drug allergies, chronic diseases, or medications you are taking regularly.
Stop taking all types of vitamins at least 1-2 weeks before rhinoplasty, especially vitamins that affect blood clotting, such as vitamin E, fish oil, coconut oil, rice bran oil, ginseng, grape seed, ginkgo, etc.
You should abstain from food and water for 6-8 hours before surgery because during surgery, the patient may choke on food or water. However, for local injections, it is not necessary to abstain from food and water.
You should stop smoking or drinking alcoholic beverages at least 1-2 weeks before surgery.
Avoid eating fermented foods and seafood as they will cause the wound to swell and heal slower than normal.
Do not wear contact lenses on the day of surgery.
You should wash your hair thoroughly before the surgery day and avoid wearing makeup on the day of surgery.
Post-operative care for open rhinoplasty
In the first 48 hours, it is recommended to apply cold compresses to reduce swelling, and after the first 2 days, you can start applying warm compresses.
You should sleep with your head elevated to help the surgical wound heal and reduce swelling faster. During the first 2 weeks, avoid sleeping on your stomach or side, as this can cause the shape of your nose to shift or become deformed.
Avoid wearing glasses for the first 4 weeks as the nose bridge may press or squeeze, causing the nose to deform.
Avoid alcoholic beverages and all types of fermented and pickled foods.
Avoid activities that affect the nose, such as exercise, running, blowing your nose, or swimming, for 8 weeks.
Avoid touching your nose hard. Avoid pressing, grabbing, picking, or scratching your nose.
Scar medication can be used only after the wound has completely healed. It can be started 10-14 days after surgery.
