Follow-up and Return-to-Work Planning
These are usual clinic estimates, not guaranteed recovery deadlines. Your procedure-specific instructions, healing and individual clearance take priority.
Follow-up visits
Your usual first review is around 2–3 days after surgery, followed by a visit around day 7 for stitch removal.
Follow-ups are included. Further visits are arranged according to your recovery.
Stitch removal
Stitches are usually removed around day 7 when applicable. Follow the date given by your surgeon.
Desk work
The usual estimate is around 2–3 days, depending on your procedure, comfort, work duties and your surgeon’s advice.
Physical work
The usual estimate is around 2–4 weeks. Confirm clearance for the lifting, bending and exertion involved in your job.
Exercise, driving and flights
Confirm these separately with your surgeon. Being ready for desk work does not mean you are cleared for exercise, driving or travel.
Companion
A companion is required for a sedated procedure. Arrange this before your treatment date.

26 result images
Rhinoplasty is not one implant fits all.The choice of nasal implant or graft material depends on anatomy, skin thickness, structural support, previous surgery, desired projection, and the amount of reconstruction required.
Gore-Tex is a brand name; ePTFE is the material.At BienPoMD, we commonly use ePTFE nasal implants from Surgiform and Implantech. These are separate brands, rather than Gore-Tex-branded products.
Silicone Implant Rhinoplasty
Silicone is a solid synthetic implant commonly used to augment the nasal bridge. Different shapes and degrees of firmness may be selected according to the desired contour and the patient’s anatomy.
Potential advantages
- Predictable bridge augmentation
- Available in different shapes and sizes
- Does not require harvesting cartilage from the patient
- Can provide a smooth and defined dorsal contour
- Generally easier to remove or revise than materials that integrate more strongly with tissue
Considerations and limitations
- It remains a synthetic implant
- Visibility or edge definition may occur with thin soft-tissue coverage
- Malposition, displacement, infection, extrusion, or capsular changes are possible
- May be less suitable when significant structural tip reconstruction is required
- Long-term suitability depends on tissue quality, positioning, and technique
Gore-Tex / ePTFE Rhinoplasty
Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, commonly referred to as Gore-Tex or ePTFE, is a porous synthetic material used for nasal augmentation. Its microscopic structure allows some degree of tissue integration.
Potential advantages
- Soft and relatively natural feel
- Can create smooth dorsal augmentation
- Less rigid than some solid silicone implants
- Tissue integration may help reduce implant mobility
- Can be shaped or layered according to the surgical plan
Considerations and limitations
- Tissue integration can make removal or revision more technically involved
- It remains a synthetic implant
- Infection and implant-related complications remain possible
- Precise placement is important
- Significant tip support may still require cartilage grafting or another material
ADM + Irradiated Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty
This approach combines structural support from irradiated rib cartilage with an acellular dermal matrix when clinically appropriate. Irradiated rib cartilage may support more complex bridge or tip reconstruction, while ADM may be used as a soft-tissue interface or coverage material according to the surgical plan.
Potential advantages
- Provides stronger support for more complex reconstruction
- Useful when significant tip support or framework modification is required
- Allows more customized shaping than a preformed implant
- ADM may provide additional coverage or contour smoothing where indicated
- May be considered in selected primary or revision cases
Considerations and limitations
- More technically complex surgery and longer operative time may be required
- Cartilage can potentially warp or change shape over time
- Irradiated rib differs biologically from the patient’s own rib cartilage
- ADM and cartilage behavior varies with healing and technique
- Revision can still be necessary, and final definition may take longer

What Is Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is surgery that reshapes and supports the nose so it is better balanced with the rest of the face. At BienPoMD, augmentation rhinoplasty may use the patient’s own cartilage or a medical-grade implant such as silicone or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE, commonly called Gore-Tex).
The plan may address a low bridge, asymmetry, a wide or bulbous tip, weak structural support, or changes from an earlier procedure. Implant choice and surgical approach are individualized according to anatomy, skin thickness, support, previous treatments, and the patient’s goals.
Who May Be a Candidate?
Rhinoplasty may be considered for patients who:
- Have a flat or poorly defined nasal bridge
- Have a wide or bulbous nasal tip
- Want improved facial balance or a more refined profile
- Need structural support or revision after a previous nose procedure
An in-person examination is required. Breathing, skin and soft-tissue quality, cartilage support, natural asymmetry, previous fillers or threads, and realistic limitations must all be discussed before surgery is recommended.
Rhinoplasty is designed around balance and structural support—not exaggeration. Swelling can temporarily distort the result, and final refinement takes months. No specific appearance, symmetry, scar, or complication-free outcome can be guaranteed.

Anatomy-led planning
How the plan is chosen
Rhinoplasty is planned around facial proportions, skin thickness, bridge support, tip structure, breathing, and the patient’s own anatomy. Implant material and surgical approach are selected only after an in-person assessment; a smaller or higher nose is not automatically a more balanced result.

Frequently asked questions
Rhinoplasty FAQs
Is a nasal implant permanent?
Implants and cartilage grafts are intended for long-term structural support, but no implant is maintenance-free or guaranteed to remain indefinitely. Infection, displacement, extrusion, trauma, or changing anatomy may require revision or removal.
Will I look unrecognizable afterward?
The plan aims for proportionate refinement while preserving your identity. The achievable change depends on your anatomy and the selected technique.
Can Rhinoplasty be combined with Alarplasty?
Yes, when appropriate. Bridge, tip, and nostril-base concerns may be addressed in one plan after a full nasal assessment.
How long will swelling and bruising last?
Visible swelling is expected during the first one to two weeks. Residual swelling, particularly around the tip, can continue for months. Bruising and healing vary.
Can surgery be done after fillers or HIKO threads?
Previous fillers or threads do not automatically rule out surgery, but they can make the case more complex. The material, timing, tissue condition, and need for removal must be assessed.
Is revision Rhinoplasty more expensive?
Often, yes. An additional revision fee of about ₱20,000–₱100,000 may apply depending on complexity. The final plan and total rate are confirmed after examination.

Material-specific case
Rhinoplasty Using Acellular Dermal Matrix, Irradiated Rib & Ear Cartilage Tipplasty
This case used an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) implant with irradiated homologous rib cartilage for selected bridge and structural needs, together with the patient's ear cartilage for tipplasty. Each material served a different role within one anatomy-led surgical plan.
ADM is processed dermal tissue with cellular components removed, leaving a collagen-rich framework that may be used for augmentation or contour coverage. Irradiated homologous costal cartilage is donor rib cartilage processed for implantation and may provide structural graft material without harvesting the patient's own rib. Ear cartilage remains useful for selected tip-shaping and support because of its natural curvature.
What the image can show
Early visible change, not a final result
The four views document a one-week transformation after the combined procedure. At this stage, swelling, firmness, asymmetry, scar maturation, and tip definition are still changing. The comparison should not be interpreted as the settled outcome.
Safety in context
No graft material is risk-free
Published reviews report generally low complication rates for irradiated homologous rib cartilage, but infection, warping, resorption, displacement, extrusion, contour change, and revision remain possible. ADM studies also describe resorption and other complications. Product processing, surgical technique, tissue coverage, fixation, anatomy, and follow-up matter.
