Augmentation Rhinoplasty with Chimera Device

Surgery Features

New Nose Mode

Beauty-conscious women who wish to undergo rhinoplasty are often faced with material limitations, leaving them no choice but opt for traditional artificial silicone. Nowadays, with more rhinoplasty material types and technological advancement, rhinoplasty has also headed towards the era of more diversified development.

 

 

The Augmentation Rhinoplasty with Chimera Device that has been officially approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare has received praises since its launch. The so-called “chimera” literally means combining two materials as one. The inner layer has silicone support; the outer layer ahs a soft and safe ePTFE material mixture design. By combining the two materials, a new material with combined results and more powerful functions can be formed.

 

 

◆Chimera Nose Lift Mode Material

The Chimera nose lift mode is an artificial nose mode made of a layer of ePTFE (Teflon, one of the constituents of Gore-Tex) coated outside the silicone nose mode. This artificial nose mode coating can greatly reduce the unnaturalness caused by the capsule. Moreover, the Chimera nose mode has high compatibility with the human body. After implantation, the nose shape also appears more natural, while the feel resembles that of the original bone. After implantation, infection problems can be greatly reduced to achieve more natural and excellent exquisite nose results.

Surgical Approach

Choose a chimera nose mode with a suitable nasal bone shape and arc according to personal needs to carve the artificial nasal bone with a suitable arc, height, and length and then implant it inside the nose (above the nasal bone or below the periosteum).

Precautions

1.Please follow the surgeon’s instructions for medication and wound care.
 
2.The 3M tape fixation after surgery is to help shape the nose and pressure the nose to facilitate swelling reduction.
 
3.There may be nose swelling after surgery. Some people may experience bruises due to the outflow of flood and tissue fluid to the cheeks and below the eyes. Hence the nose appears most swollen on the second day. It is recommended that continuous cold press be applied for 5-7 days.
 
4.Refrain from drinking for one month after surgery (including sesame chicken and medicinal chicken) to avoid nose reddening and even nose inflammation.
 
5.Refrain from smoking after surgery to reduce chances of wound infection and facilitate nose wound and scar recovery.
 
6.Nose swelling after surgery is normal. Please continue to apply cold press. In case of redness, swelling, heat, pain, secretions, or continuous bleeding, return to the clinic for further assessment by the surgeon.
 
7.Do not sleep on the stomach within one week after surgery to avoid pressuring the nose. In addition, do not wear glasses to avoid pressuring the root of the nose.
 
8.Do not clean white heads (use tweezers to pull them instead of squeezing them), pinch, or rub the nose or engage in strenuous exercise (such as playing basketball) until on month after the nose has been molded.
 

9.Those with infections, rejection, or special physical constitution (delayed inflammation), a break for 3-6 months (preferably six months as it is the surgical wound scar stability period) is recommended before undergoing surgery again. Use anti-inflammatory drug therapy and apply cold press within one week after surgery. Disinfect the wound site using Betadine daily for one to two weeks after surgery and apply ointment.

Q&A

Q:Some people say that chimera placed for rhinoplasty cannot be removed. Is it true?

A:The outer layer of chimera is Goretex, which is integrated into the tissues. Unlike silicone, it is generally harder to remove, but it can still be removed. The misconception that it is irremovable is not true.


Q:Can Korean-Style Rhinoplasty be done using materials other than chimera artificial nasal bone?

A:It is possible to use other materials as the nose mode in Korean Style Rhinoplasty. Hence, Goretex or silicone can be used. However, since chimera is a better material, as the silicone is covered by more costly Goretex. Why not use a better nose mode when there is one!
