Semi-costal cartilage rhinoplasty is to combine prosthesis with autologous cartilage to reshape the nose. Usually the tip of the nose is made of autogenous costal cartilage, and the bridge of the nose is made of silicone or swelling material. Costal cartilage is used to lengthen and shape the nasal tip after treatment.
All costal cartilage is made of costal cartilage material, which is used to improve the whole nose. Without using any prosthetic materials, the 6~8 cm long cartilage was taken out, carved and implanted into the nose to improve all parts of the nose.
If an individual rejects the prosthesis or has allergic reaction to the prosthesis, he can choose full costal cartilage. This technique has very high requirements for doctors, and it is also very suitable for nasal repair. The materials of ear cartilage and nasal septum cartilage are insufficient, and the skin tissue of the nose is thin.
If individuals do not reject the prosthesis, they can choose semi-rib, but in comparison, both methods are based on ribs, which is as traumatic as full rib, and more people choose full rib. There will be slight pain in the incision 1~2 days after the removal of costal cartilage, so don't worry too much.
