Is rhinoplasty a minor surgery?

Nowadays people's aesthetic taste is developing in a strange direction, and modern plastic surgery is becoming more and more mature. Plastic surgery hospitals can be seen everywhere in life. Many people are not satisfied with their noses, and the height of the nose determines the three-dimensionality of a person's facial features, so people with low noses will choose to undergo rhinoplasty surgery. But is rhinoplasty a minor surgery compared to other surgeries?

Rhinoplasty cannot be said to be a minor operation, because even though it is relatively simple, it still has certain risks. It still has certain requirements for the medical environment and the doctor's skills. However, it cannot be said to be a major operation, because compared with major operations, current rhinoplasty technology is still relatively simple and convenient. From the current rhinoplasty industry, there are generally two types of methods.

Surgical Rhinoplasty

Surgical rhinoplasty mainly involves inserting a prosthesis to improve the contour of the nose and make the entire nose look more perfect. Generally, the nose skin and subcutaneous soft tissue are separated, and autologous cartilage transplantation and fillers are used to improve the nose contour, and then suture is performed. After recovery, the entire nose can achieve the expected effect. Currently, the main materials for rhinoplasty prostheses are expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, solid silicone, and autologous cartilage. It can be said that each has its advantages and disadvantages, and you need to choose according to your own situation from many aspects.

Non-surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is usually done by injecting fillers, which mainly include collagen, hyaluronic acid, and microcrystalline porcelain. The fillers are filled into the flatter parts of the nose to create a sharp angle or a smooth appearance. The overall size of the nose generally does not change, but the original defects can be effectively restored, making it look more coordinated and making the nose bridge appear higher.

Although the method is not that complicated, we still recommend that you choose a regular large hospital for surgery to ensure effectiveness and safety.
