Facial beauty is profoundly influenced by the aesthetic appeal of the nose. The ever-evolving modern society places increasing emphasis on facial aesthetics, resulting in a surge of individuals seeking nose plastic surgery each year. Many patients in cosmetic clinics aspire to enhance their facial contours and symmetry through rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty predominantly involves the utilization of various filling materials to modify the nasal structure. These materials can be broadly categorized into autologous and allogeneic substances. Autologous materials primarily encompass one's own soft tissue, notably rib cartilage, known for its high safety profile, ample supply, low absorption rate, and robust support. Allogeneic materials, on the other hand, predominantly consist of silicone gel substances. These materials have extensive applications in both cosmetic and plastic surgery, including rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. Historically, clinical practice predominantly employed single materials for rhinoplasty. However, recent research suggests that the combination of diverse materials can yield superior cosmetic outcomes, harnessing synergistic effects that enhance patient satisfaction. This study aims to assess the clinical applicability of various surgical methods through a comparative evaluation of 84 patients who underwent nose cosmetic and plastic repair between January 2022 and January 2023
