Autologous cartilage prosthesis rhinoplasty

Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is increasingly being used in rhinoplasty surgery because in the eyes of many plastic surgeons, the recovery effect of autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is the best and most natural. Autologous cartilage is mainly taken from the human body's own cartilage, so rhinoplasty can effectively integrate the cartilage with other components of the nose. Today I will introduce to you some relevant knowledge about autologous cartilage rhinoplasty.

Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is a type of nasal plastic surgery that uses human cartilage tissue to achieve a rhinoplasty effect. Autologous cartilage is hard and flexible, does not require a large number of blood vessels for nutrition, and losing part of it will not cause significant functional loss. Therefore, it has become an important source of autologous rhinoplasty material. Before choosing a rhinoplasty procedure, the majority of beauty-conscious people must clearly know what surgical plan is suitable for them and choose a regular medical institution to perform it, so as to avoid rhinoplasty failure as much as possible.

Adapt to the crowd

1. In cases of severe flat nose deformity, exposed nostril deformity (upturned nose), or total nose reconstruction surgery, when stent materials are needed, autologous rib cartilage must be used. Filling with large pieces of artificial materials is prone to complications.

2. When repeated plastic surgeries fail and another plastic surgery with filling materials is necessary, only autologous rib cartilage can be used.

3. Customers who have extremely high requirements for rhinoplasty, do not want any abnormalities to occur after the operation, and are very averse to artificial materials.

Taboo group

1. The nose has abundant sebaceous glands or rosacea;

2. People with allergic constitution;

3. Those who are in the developmental stage and under 18 years old;

4. Those who are mentally unstable or have doubts about the filling materials;

5. Infection on the face or whole body.

Features of surgery

advantage

1. Good tissue compatibility and stability. It heals with the local tissue of the nose and is easy to fix. Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty will not shift.

2. Autologous rhinoplasty will not cause rejection reaction;

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

4. Autologous rhinoplasty is simple to operate and is easy to obtain from the body. Autologous rhinoplasty can generally be obtained from ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and rib cartilage;

5. It is very easy to carve and trim the model. Autologous rhinoplasty materials are ideal rhinoplasty materials, and they prevent nose deformation and perforation;

6. The touch is real. After autologous rhinoplasty, you don’t have to worry about normal contact with the nose. You can push and press the nose tip, and it feels soft and realistic. The material for autologous rhinoplasty can be cartilage from other parts of the body. For different people, the autologous rhinoplasty doctor will choose according to your specific situation. The method of autologous rhinoplasty is as follows, and the material source for autologous rhinoplasty is in the same surgical field as that of rhinoplasty, so no separate operation is required. It is truly a "killing three birds with one stone" strategy.

shortcoming

Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty also has disadvantages, which can be summarized as follows:

1. If the autologous rhinoplasty material is taken from the rib cartilage, there will be a scar left on the chest. If the wound is slightly larger, part of the rib cartilage will be easily bent and deformed after transplantation.

2. The material for autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is ear cartilage. The amount of ear cartilage is small and it is only used to raise the tip of the nose. It is not suitable for the columella. Since the concha cartilage has an arc, the columella will bend after the operation. There will be some absorption, and the absorption rate varies from person to person, generally below 15%;

3. If the autologous cartilage rhinoplasty material is taken from the nasal septum cartilage, since the amount of nasal septum cartilage that can be cut is limited, it can generally only be used for cosmetic surgery of the nose tip and columella. There will be some absorption, and the absorption rate varies from person to person, generally below 15%.
