Dear Drs,
I want to raise my nose bridge, and the doctor in Yanhee Hospital, Thailand uses silicone implant. I've heard that sillicon is dangerous in the long run.
I want my new nose permanently, so what kind of material I should use in my nose implant? Is it artificial bone or what? I really need your help for detailed further information. Please help me with your best.
With love, eve

Answer: Your own cartilage is best. For more than 30 years I have used ear and or septal cartilage along with soft tissue which I feel gives the best results for the long term.

Answer: Silastic implant is preferred in Asian augmentation rhinoplasty Silastic implants are an acceptable alternative to Asian augmentation rhinoplasty. It is important that only the nasal dorsal implants are used and not the L-shaped struts. The L-shaped struts tend to put too much pressure on the tip, nose, and bridge, and very often extrude. A moderately sized, small or medium-sized nasal dorsal implant works beautifully in the nasal bridge to augment the Asian nose.
