Things to note when using ear cartilage to pad the nose tip

In modern society, many female friends are paying more and more attention to plastic surgery. Some of them have congenital defects in their nose bridge and want to undergo rhinoplasty surgery. Rhinoplasty usually uses ear cartilage to pad the tip of the nose, but you should know that this is actually not safe, so the following article will introduce it to you.

Precautions

Preoperative

1. Be mentally prepared. Choose a trustworthy medical institution or doctor for surgery, so that you will have confidence and a sense of security about the surgery, eliminate fear, remain calm, and actively cooperate with the doctor to realize your beautiful wishes. Do not seek medical treatment blindly to avoid adverse consequences.

2. Fully understand the relevant knowledge about rhinoplasty, read relevant books, and it is best to visit people who have undergone the operation to familiarize yourself with the entire process of the operation.

3. There must not be any (bacterial) lesions on the face before surgery: such as folliculitis, furunculosis, acne, acute eye inflammation, sinusitis, rhinitis, vestibular furunculosis, etc.

4. To prevent infection, women should not undergo rhinoplasty during menstruation.

5. It is best to take a shower the day before surgery. On the day of surgery, you should use soap to wash off the dirt and grease on your face before going on the operating table to minimize the number of bacteria. You should also trim your nose hair and clean your nasal cavity before surgery. If the patient has other diseases before surgery, resulting in low immunity, it is easy for the surgery to cause infection and affect wound healing.

After surgery

2. After using autologous ear cartilage to pad the nose tip, try to reduce activity to prevent the prosthesis from moving;
