ABSTRACT:
A nasal plastic surgery system or kit comprises a series of templates and a series of implant cutters corresponding to the series of templates. Each of the implant cutters is configured to cut from a predetermined implant medium an implant having a peripheral form corresponding to the peripheral form of a particular one of the templates.
A template which provides a desired effect of the surgery is selected from the series of templates. An implant cutter corresponding to the selected template is then used to cut an implant having the peripheral form of the selected template.
Alternatively, preformed implants matching the series of templates may be provided to avoid cutting implants during surgery.
