Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty

Almost everyone pursues beauty. Many people hope to have a perfect face, so the beauty industry has emerged. In our aesthetic cognition, everyone thinks that a high nose bridge is very spiritual, so many people go to beauty salons to have a prosthetic rhinoplasty in order to have a big nose. Prosthetic rhinoplasty is divided into two types: silicone and cartilage. So is the effect of autologous cartilage rhinoplasty good?

Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty What materials are used in autologous cartilage rhinoplasty?

1. Ear cartilage: The ear cartilage can be used to shape the tip of the nose. It feels real and you don’t have to worry about normal contact with the nose after the operation. You can push and press the nose tip, and it feels soft and realistic. The ear cartilage at the back of the ear cavity is used to lift the nose. The ear cartilage at the back of the ear cavity will regenerate, the appearance will generally not change and the wound can be hidden behind the ear and is not easily discovered. The thinness of the ear cartilage is just right for placement at the tip of the nose.

2. Nasal septum cartilage: Nasal septum cartilage is a plate-like cartilage that divides the two nasal passages. By retaining a portion in the front and upper part and removing the entire portion at the lower back, you can maintain the integrity of the nose shape and obtain the required material. Moreover, the material collection site is in the same incision as the rhinoplasty, so there is no need for a separate operation. It is really a "killing three birds with one stone" strategy.

3. Costal cartilage: Costal cartilage is mainly used to solve the more difficult rhinoplasty. As a representative of hyaline cartilage, costal cartilage has a large source, reliable texture, and a safe method of collection. Moreover, it is an "exhaustive weapon" for various congenital nasal deformities that are more difficult to treat, as well as acquired nasal deformities caused by trauma or surgery.

Advantages of autologous cartilage rhinoplasty:

1. Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is done by taking cartilage from the body itself, which will not cause rejection reaction. Generally, cartilage from ear, rib and nasal septum can be taken. Different parts are implanted in different positions in the nose. Doctors will select cartilage from different parts according to the patient's own situation.

2. Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty has good tissue compatibility and is stable. After the cartilage is implanted, it will fuse with the local nasal tissue and is easy to fix without displacement.

3. Autologous cartilage is easy to carve, soft and easy to shape, avoiding the deformation of the nose tip and perforation of the prosthesis that may occur in prosthetic rhinoplasty;

4. Low absorption. The absorption rate of autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is low and it can survive without blood supply;

5. Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty feels real and natural
