Choosing silica gel or swelling seems to be a problem for rhinoplasty.
These two materials have been widely used as basic fillers in clinical practice.
But if we take a long-term view, how should we choose these two materials?
Let me lead you through the following ideas to comprehensively compare their safety factors!
As a nose augmenter, it is hoped that the implant will not only be beautiful but also safe and long-term.
So for security, I think it can be considered and compared from these aspects:
1. Whether the material itself is easy to deform
Silica gel: ★★★
Swelling: ★★★★
This involves their stability, which mainly depends on the chemical composition of materials.
Silica gel is mainly composed of silica, which is stable and does not react with any substance.
The expanded material is mainly composed of polytetrafluoroethylene, which is a safe subcutaneous filler after many years of clinical observation.
At this point the two are equal.
2. Who is more susceptible to infection
Silica gel: ★ ★ ☆
Swelling: ★★★★★
For this problem, we must have seen it in Du Niang, the stereotyped "swelling is more susceptible to infection".
But why is this answer? Have you studied it carefully?
This starts with the microstructure of the two materials under the electron microscope.
This picture shows the microscopic structure of the puff, with each gap about 20 μ m (μ m).
Remember the number because it's important.
Science popularization of biological knowledge: tissue infection is due to the failure of macrophages in white blood cells to phagocytize bacteria in time.
The diameter of bacteria and macrophages were 1 μ m and 25 μ m respectively.
As a result, bacteria can easily enter the swelling.
And our scavenger, macrophage, has a relatively difficult experience of inflation, which causes some other reactions such as infection and suppuration.
Looking at silica gel, according to the literature "the structure of silica gel and the determination of its surface group",
The surface of silica gel is composed of 0.03-0.05 μ m silica gel ball, which is quite meticulous,
So that bacteria can not enter the prosthesis, which is not easy to cause infection.
3. Which prosthesis is better for repair
Silica gel: ★★★
Swelling: ★★★★★
Since we are going to do rhinoplasty, we must have a solid psychological preparation.
The author thinks that the repair of silica gel is relatively easy, because its texture is compact and the tissue will not grow with it.
However, the expansion is not the case. Because it is similar to its own tissue and has little rejection, it has been applied to the construction of cardiovascular tissue.
So the swelling is & gt; silica gel.
Basically, you may say that I prefer silica gel, in fact, it is not.
Both prostheses are very good implants, but in my opinion, the level of the doctor is more important than the prosthesis.
Take president Kang Wenshuo of Yuanchen plastic surgery in South Korea as an example,
No matter what kind of material he made, his nose can shape good lines in a short time without postoperative infection.
OK, because the word limit is here today!
