Rhinoplasty from the West and to the East

One of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the Philippines today, according to many cosmetic surgeons, is rhinoplasty. And the reason why is because of the influence of the western culture.

Rhinoplasty as a Reconstructive Surgery

Rhinoplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery which deals in the correcting or reconstruction of the human nose by resolving nose trauma, congenital defects, respiratory impediment, and many other damages to the nose.

According to many experts, before it was widely practiced around the world, rhinoplasty was first known as a popular reconstructive surgery in India. It was only introduced in the in the western hemisphere when a number of British surgeons travelled to India to learn of their rhinoplasty surgeries and practices. Eventually, it spread all over the western hemisphere as well as in the rest of Asia, particularly in the Philippines.

Rhinoplasty in the Philippines

Although it started as a form of reconstructive surgery, or plastic surgery, surgeons had used this branch of surgery to enhance a person s physical feature. This is also where the term nose job was coined from.

According to many medical experts, rhinoplasties are different between continents, particularly in Asia and in the west. Many cosmetic surgeons have said that most patients in Asian countries, particularly the Philippines, demand a narrower nose with a high bridge. This is due to the influence of the west in terms of physical features in which the nose is considered as the most important feature.

Because of this, rhinoplasty surgeries in Asia, such as in the Philippines are different from that of western nose jobs. According to many

experts, the nasal bones are usually cut and moved towards the midline, for bridge elevation. This technique narrows the bridge and slightly elevates the dorsum. However, for greater elevation, it may require several implants.

If the operation requires implants, popular materials used are silicone, Med-Por, as well as Goretex which had a started the

trend.

Other than those materials, many have also used autologous graft tissues, such as septum cartilage, costal or rib cartilage, as well as the auricular or ear cartilage for augmentation. The advantage of using a human skin a bone is that it can significantly reduce the risk of complications such as infection and extrusion.
