Dorsal Augmentation using Alloplastic Implants

Na HG, Jang YJ.

Abstract

Dorsal augmentationis an essential procedure not only for Asians, who generally have indistinct and poorly developed nasal bridges, but also for Africans and Caucasians, who have similar  dorsaldeficiencies. There is no single ideal implant or graft for  dorsal augmentation .  Dorsal augmentationwith autologous materials is considered ideal by many surgeons. However, harvesting autologous material is associated with donor-site complications, and these materials are difficult to handle and shape. Despite concerns over complications such as infection, extrusion, and deviation,  alloplasticimplant materials such as silicone or Gore-Tex have a critically important role in typical cosmetic  dorsal augmentationdue to their ease of use in producing a cosmetically appealing outcome and evading donor-site complications. A thorough understanding of the shape of an aesthetically pleasing nose, appropriate surgical technique, and proper management methods for complications are the mainstay for the success of  dorsal augmentationusing  alloplastic implants.
