3D printing technology makes "rhinoplasty" more natural! Doctors reveal key benefits: It is expected to significantly reduce the risk of surgical failure
More in line with the expectations of beauty seekers! This technology will open a new chapter in plastic surgery
With the rapid advancement of medical materials and technology, customized facial plastic surgery has become mainstream; coupled with the current dominance of “precision medicine” and AI technology, facial plastic surgery in the past relied on doctors’ aesthetics, surgical experience and CT assistance, and now it will take a step forward. Enter a new chapter! Adhering to the spirit of excellence, Dr. Xu Yingzhe, CEO of Laijia Image Aesthetics Clinic, and Dr. Zheng Quanhao went to South Korea to bring the latest 3D printing technology back to the country, with the aim of bringing safer and more personalized “carefully crafted” products to beauty seekers. “, opening a new era of plastic surgery.
Judging from the current plastic surgery technology, “fillers” are the main surgical method in areas such as the nose, chin, mandible, and apple muscles, regardless of autologous transplantation or allogeneic implantation. Dr. Xu Yingzhe, an authority on rhinoplasty, pointed out that in terms of “nose reconstruction”, which he specializes in, making a nose that meets the needs of beauty seekers tests the doctor’s mastery of bones and soft tissues and surgical experience.
What’s more important is that everyone’s face shape is different, and the doctor’s “aesthetics” are even more important. In addition to good pre-operative communication, how to use skillful hands to shape an implant that meets the expectations of the beauty seeker is even more important. It’s important. However, in the past, doctors could only rely on experience, and there were still technical limitations.
Xu Yingzhe said that 3D printing can help make the prosthetic carving more detailed and fit the bone tissue of the face better during surgery.
3D printing technology makes prostheses “more real”! Doctor: Dramatically reduce the risk of surgical failure
Dr. Zheng Quanhao emphasized that in structural rhinoplasty, beauty seekers care most about whether the doctor’s aesthetics meets their own expectations. Secondly, if there is a high demand for “autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty surgery” nowadays, using costal cartilage is the most important thing. For rhinoplasty surgeries where ear cartilage is used as a prosthesis, many people are most concerned about the fit of the implant and the postoperative pain caused by the invasive method. The birth of 3D printing technology can help reduce surgical failures. To reduce risks and improve the satisfaction of beauty seekers, Laijia Image Aesthetics Clinic went to South Korea to introduce this technology back to Taiwan.
Dr. Xu Yingzhe said that plastic surgery is all based on subjective aesthetic feelings, and there will inevitably be unrealistic problems. However, after pre-operative communication, it is now possible to 3D print according to personal facial contours and needs, and present it in advance before surgery. After the surgery, we can fine-tune and communicate with the beauty seekers to meet their expectations.
The shape of the nose and chin can be carefully crafted! “3D printing” integrated medical aesthetics will become a major trend
Dr. Zheng Quanhao added that the bones and soft tissues of the face vary from person to person. 3D printing can simulate the appropriate shape based on the bone structure scanned by computerized tomography and the model parameters set by the doctor. After discussing with the beauty seeker, the appropriate shape can be simulated. Once the required implants are produced, the prosthetic carving during surgery can be more detailed. For example, the angle of the nose tip, the length and width of the bridge of the nose, and the shape and size of the chin can all be carefully carved to achieve a closer fit. It can be said to be a considerable breakthrough in the field of medical aesthetics by combining the bone tissue of the face, improving the recovery rate after surgery and reducing problems such as tissue defects and distortion.
In addition, some people seek medical treatment due to congenital skeletal hypoplasia, asymmetry, or deformation of bone tissue due to trauma. Traditional plastic surgery implants may also require multiple revisions to achieve satisfactory postoperative results, Zheng Quanhao He believes that the beauty of facial features requires symmetry and balance. Using today’s high-tech scanning, calculation, simulation, and printing, from “pre-evaluation and planning” to “actual surgery”, we can ultimately achieve a perfectly balanced result.
Dr. Xu Yingzhe emphasized that in addition to providing more diverse choices for rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery, this technology believes that it will be more widely used in various medical cosmetic surgeries in the future. He said that Laijia Image Aesthetics Group adheres to the original intention of “specializing in one art” and “integrating beautiful things” and is determined to become the first choice brand for medical aesthetics.
