Polyamide Mesh Used in Facial Plastic Surgery

Ultrasonographic Monitoring of Implant Thickness after Augmentation Rhinoplasty with Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene

“…Numerous alloplastic materials have been used for augmentation rhinoplasty, including Supramid, Proplast, Plasti-Pore, and Mersilene, all of which result in problems related to foreign body reactions, infections, displacement, extrusion, and remodeling. [9][10][11] With its microporous structure, ePTFE allows adequate tissue ingrowth and stabilization, but it is still easily removed when necessary. ePTFE produces permanent, predictable results, with relatively few complications and high biocompatibility and stability.…”

Mastoid Bone as a New Graft Material in Rhinoplasty

“…Several synthetic materials exist including polyamide mesh, polymeric silicone, waterproof breathable fabric, calcium phosphate cement paste, polytef, and porous high-density polyethylene. [15][16][17][18] However, these materials are associated with increased risk of graft infection, extrusion, and possible rejection. 19 Despite noticeable advancement in making synthetic biocompatible materials, use of autogenous materials is preferred by most surgeons.…”

Prevalence of complications associated with polymer-based alloplastic materials in nasal dorsal augmentation: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…The mean age of patients was 33 (age range 10-72). Although 3 papers did not specify mean and/or age range [16][17][18][19].…”

“…Four hundred twenty-eight cases were male and 2573 were female although 10 studies did not specify gender [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. The mean follow-up time was 30 months with a range of 3 months to 15 years.…”

“…The mean follow-up time was 30 months with a range of 3 months to 15 years. Two papers did not report mean follow-up time specifically [16][17][18][19].…”
