Analysis of the Application Value and Complication Rate of Hyaluronic Acid and Silicone Gel Prosthesis in Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Objective: To analyze the application value and complication rate of hyaluronic acid and silicone gel prosthesis in cosmetic rhinoplasty. Methods: 60 patients who underwent cosmetic rhinoplasty in this clinic from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected as research subjects and divided into the hyaluronic acid group and the silicone group by single and double-digit lottery method, with 30 cases in each group. Hyaluronic acid material was used for rhinoplasty in the hyaluronic acid group, and silicone gel material was used for rhinoplasty in the silicone group. The two groups were compared in terms of postoperative complications, improvement rate of nasal shape, satisfaction of firmness, evaluation of surgical satisfaction, and life situation. Results: The incidence of postoperative complications was lower in the hyaluronic acid group than in the silicone group (χ2 = 4.320, P < 0.05); after nasal shape repair, the rate of nasal shape improvement was better in the hyaluronic acid group (29/96.67%) than in the silicone group (24/80.00%) (χ2 = 4.043, P < 0.05); the evaluation of satisfaction with the postoperative firmness of the nasal shape suggested that patients in the hyaluronic acid group (28/93.33%) had a better firmness than patients in the silicone group (22/80.00%) (χ2 = 4.320, P < 0.05); the evaluation of satisfaction with the surgery in the hyaluronic acid group was higher than that in the silicone group (P < 0.05); compared with the preoperative period, the life situation of both groups improved after the surgery, and the scores of the hyaluronic acid group were better than those of the silicone group (both P < 0.001). Conclusion: The application of hyaluronic acid in cosmetic rhinoplasty achieved high clinical value and safety, and this method is recommended to be widely used.
