His plastic surgery failed and the prosthesis almost came out of his nose! Medical "3D printing" technology remedy: the nose shape is more natural than before
His plastic surgery failed and the prosthesis almost came out of his nose! “1 technology” is expected to carry out secondary remedies
If inflammation and pain occur after rhinoplasty, and there is even a risk of “prosthesis wear-out”, can it be remedied through secondary plastic surgery? Dr. Zheng Quanhao of Laijia Image Aesthetics Clinic said that he had previously treated a man named Wu from Thailand. After undergoing rhinoplasty surgery there, the patient’s nose developed a series of inflammation, pain and many other sequelae; the prosthesis even wore out. Due to the crisis on my nose, I had no choice but to cross the sea and seek medical treatment in Taiwan after being introduced by a friend.
After evaluation by Dr. Zheng Quanhao, it was found that the man surnamed Wu often suffered from unbearable pain at the tip of his nose. It was suspected that the height of the nose tip was improperly designed during the previous surgery, which caused excessive stress on the skin of the nose tip, resulting in redness, swelling, pain and inflammation. The appearance of the prosthesis was even visible to the naked eye. It must be rebuilt through “3D printing technology”. In the end, the man surnamed Wu not only regained his straight nose shape and regained his confidence, but also solved his nose pain problem.

Dr. Zheng Quanhao pointed out that invasive rhinoplasty surgery relies heavily on the doctor’s aesthetics, technology and experience. It can be said to be a “handicraft” that requires extremely high precision. Before the operation, the doctor will observe the patient’s facial appearance, computerized tomography and other information to determine the nose shape that is suitable for the patient. After the operation, the allogeneic or autologous implant will be carved into the desired shape to help make the implant more comfortable. After being integrated with the original nose shape, it looks more natural and harmonious.
Dr. Zheng Quanhao explained that generally speaking, the prosthetic implant used in rhinoplasty has an “inverted L shape”. The prosthesis may press against the skin at the tip of the nose, causing compression, resulting in ischemia and tissue destruction. The body may even penetrate the skin and cause more serious damage.
Dr. Xu Yingzhe, CEO of Laijia Image Aesthetics Clinic, who is known as the “King of Nose”, emphasized that it is difficult to design the line connecting the bridge of the nose and the nose tip. Many people who undergo rhinoplasty want the angle of the nose tip to match the face shape. Traditional Soft tissue or rib fragments are used to fill the stack, but this method may increase the risk of a skewed nose. Therefore, using 3D printing technology to create “one-piece” implants can perfectly solve the potential problem of nose tip deviation and meet the patient’s requirements for the angle of the nose tip.
What are the advantages of 3D printing rhinoplasty? Look more natural than traditional prosthetics?
Dr. Zheng Quanhao pointed out that 3D printed prostheses combined with computed tomography scans can help doctors clearly understand the bone and soft tissue conditions of the nose of the patient. After discussion and evaluation, the doctor will design a suitable shape and contour, and provide A prosthesis shape that meets the patient’s expectations. “3D printing technology can make the implant fit more closely to the patient’s original nasal bones, greatly reducing the risk of displacement caused by skin pulling; more importantly, it can make the nose shape design more perfect, and it can also greatly improve the surgery. The probability of success!”
In addition, during rhinoplasty surgery, the connection between the bridge of the nose and the center of the eyebrows is also a key to whether the nose shape will be beautiful after surgery. Dr. Zheng Quanhao believes that this part is more difficult to design and implant prostheses, and the curvature and height must be carefully crafted by the doctor. 3D printing technology can precisely control the thickness of the implant and even design a “stepped shape” to fit the bones of the base and bridge of the nose, thus minimizing the sense of unnaturalness and disconnection.
Finally, Dr. Zheng Quanhao reminds beauty seekers that before undergoing any plastic surgery, they should thoroughly discuss the surgical procedure with the attending physician and understand the possible postoperative complications. After surgery, you should also follow the doctor’s instructions to take good care of the plastic surgery area, and maintain good habits such as regular work and rest, a balanced diet and moderate exercise. This can increase your self-confidence at different levels, which is also an indispensable part of becoming beautiful.
