Study of the elasticity of the skin of the nose, the direction of muscle movement and the mobility of the nasal cartilages shows clearly that the human nose is not simply a lump of flesh consisting of bone, cartilage, muscle and skin, but a subtle aesthetic combination of anatomical form and physiological function. A new basal prosthesis has been introduced which avoids the drawbacks of a rigid prosthesis of uniform hardness. By incorporating silicones of varying hardness and using a new design we have a choice of three different prostheses which can fulfill many of the desired aesthetic and functional requirements of reconstructive rhinoplasty. This new type of prosthesis has now been used in 1600 cases with satisfying results.
对鼻皮肤弹性、肌肉运动方向和鼻软骨活动度的研究清楚地表明，人类的鼻子并非仅仅是由骨骼、软骨、肌肉和皮肤构成的一块肉，而是解剖形态与生理功能的精妙美学组合。一种新型的基底假体已被引入，它避免了硬度均匀的刚性假体的缺点。通过结合不同硬度的硅酮并采用新的设计，我们有三种不同的假体可供选择，它们能够满足鼻整形重建术中许多期望的美学和功能要求。这种新型假体现已用于1600例手术，效果令人满意。
