Autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty

In the plastic medicine industry, the most reasonable material for rhinoplasty is autologous cartilage. Among them, ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and rib cartilage. For autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, if you only need to do the tip of the nose and the nose, than using autologous ear cartilage or nasal septum cartilage is enough. If you need to do your nose, you need to use autologous rib cartilage. Currently, autologous cartilage is more commonly used for rhinoplasty in Europe and Asia, but is relatively rare.

After autologous costal cartilage is removed from the human body, it can undergo unidirectional bending deformation. Therefore, when carving rib cartilage, experienced plastic surgeons will make full use of the biological properties and current shape of the material like a sculptor and carve according to its deformation rate. It can be used to make a very beautiful nose bridge and nose tip, and can also be used to make a support rod for raising the columella and lengthening the nose. The quality of this autologous material is incomparable to all other rhinoplasty materials (silicone, expanded material, hydroxyapatite, artificial bone, decalcified bone, etc.), so the surgery fee is also the most expensive.

Pain and scar issues from costal cartilage removal

Today's anesthesia is completely guaranteed and the operation can be completely painless. With the use of analgesics after the operation, there will be no obvious pain. It would not be difficult to make a second incision on the chest. Using a special costal cartilage extractor, the required costal cartilage can be removed through a minimally invasive incision of 2-3 cm in length. After the incision is sutured very finely, the scar will be very small and almost invisible.

Based on a large number of surgical observations, it was found that after cartilage transplantation, as long as the wound heals smoothly, the absorption of the cartilage cannot be seen from the outside. This is true for all cosmetic procedures performed using cartilage. Therefore, there will be no subsequent quality changes after a successful cartilage transplant rhinoplasty. Cartilage resorption can occur in the area of ​​cartilage transplantation where there is chronic inflammation and poor wound healing, as seen in scar surgery or surgery of infected areas.

④ Safety of autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty

Any surgery has risks, and like other surgeries, there may be bleeding, infection, swelling, bruising, and unsightly appearance. The effectiveness of various rhinoplasty methods is related to the surgical operation and the shape and size of the nose mold. But in terms of later safety, autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty is safe. There will be absolutely no rejection or inflammation.
