Speaking of beauty, who doesn't want their dream nose? The nose is an important part that affects a person's overall facial appearance and impression. However, many people are reluctant to undergo rhinoplasty due to side effects such as implant protrusion, shrinkage, or deformation. Along with technological developments, the desire to look better is becoming more attainable. One of the latest breakthroughs that has come to the rescue for those who want their dream nose is 3D CT technology. Consequently, 3D Printing Rhinoplasty is becoming increasingly popular in Korea. 😮✨

What is 3D CT? 🔬

3D CT is a tool used for detailed examination of the internal structure of the nose, including the nasal bones, septal cartilage, and inferior nasal turbinates, which cannot be seen from the outside. This allows doctors to perform precise and careful surgical planning. 🧐

How is the 3D Rhinoplasty Method performed?

Examination of current condition: A crucial first step in this process is performing a 3D-CT imaging to analyze the nasal condition in depth. With this technology, we can see the internal structure of the nose, including the nasal bones, septal cartilage, and inferior nasal turbinates, providing a better understanding of the current situation.

1. Design and Prediction: After obtaining a clear picture through imaging, the next step is to design a nose shape that matches the current condition. This is done through special software that allows us to produce an accurate design that meets the patient's expectations.

2. Formulation of Surgery Plan: Collaboration between the surgeon and the patient becomes very important at this stage. Through in-depth consultation, a surgery plan is created that meets the patient's desires and ensures their expectations are optimally met.

3. Custom Nose Implant: Once the surgery plan is confirmed, we enter the stage of custom nose implant fabrication. Using 3D printer technology, this implant is specially crafted according to the approved design, ensuring high compatibility and precision.

4. Surgery Process: The final step is to undergo the surgery process using the manufactured nose implant. In this way, the patient's expectations for the desired nose shape can be realized with satisfying results.

By following these steps, the rhinoplasty process becomes more detailed and focused on achieving optimal results according to the patient's wishes.

Traditional Rhinoplasty VS 3D Printing Rhinoplasty

Traditional:

• Principle: The nasal structure is manually examined during consultation; during surgery, the implant is manually shaved to obtain the appropriate shape result.

• Surgical aspect: Additional time is required to cut and polish traditional implants during surgery.

• Result aspect: High risk of implant deformation or extrusion.

3D Printing Rhinoplasty:

• Principle: A custom implant is made in advance on a 3D printer through a 3D CT scan.

• Surgical aspect: Since preparing the implant in advance is possible, the implant can be used as soon as possible during surgery.

• Result aspect: Minimizes the risk of implant deformation or extrusion.
