Core Tip
Core Tip: In this study, we observed that different clinical features appeared according to the physical difference of thread material used in thread rhinoplasty. The difference in Hounsfield unit (HU) values on computed tomography was confirmed and objectively verified. Because of their hydrophilicity in the absorbable thread, they showed more severe inflammatory results and higher HU values. It will be very helpful in treatment if this is used for patients who show complication after thread rhinoplasty in the future.
