Typically, chin augmentation requires some cartilage. Of course, some chins are shaped by hyaluronic acid injections, which is a very effective adjustment method. Let’s take a closer look at the dangers of autologous cartilage chin augmentation surgery!

1. After chin augmentation surgery with autologous cartilage, the chin and lower lip will swell, and some parts may also be congested and appear purple. The swelling will be more obvious about 3 days after the surgery, and generally disappear on its own without special treatment.

2. The time it takes for swelling and congestion to subside depends on individual constitution and physical condition, usually 2 weeks to 2 months. For older patients, the swelling may take longer.

3. The tape used to fix the chin augmentation with autologous cartilage should be kept until the fourth day after surgery and cannot be removed by yourself.

4. Liquid or soft food should be consumed within the first 3 days after autologous cartilage chin augmentation surgery. Apply chloramphenicol eye ointment to the oral wound before each meal and take care of the incision to prevent contamination. After meals, rinse your mouth alternately with 1% hydrogen peroxide and normal saline.

Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is less invasive. Especially for nasal septum cartilage transplantation, although it is an autologous cartilage transplantation operation, there is only one surgical area. By performing nasal septum cartilage removal surgery and columella lengthening surgery in the same surgical incision, there is no need to make a second surgical area in other parts of the body. The total wound area of ​​the human body is reduced, which reduces the psychological and physiological burden on people.
