How long does it take for costal cartilage rhinoplasty to recover?
The recovery time after costal cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty is about 1 ~ 3 months, and the specific recovery time is related to the doctor's operation level, the patient's nasal condition and postoperative daily care. Costal cartilage rhinoplasty generally does not leave obvious scars. The incision of costal cartilage rhinoplasty is generally divided into two parts. Part of it is where costal cartilage is taken. The incision is mostly at the sixth or seventh rib below the chest, and the position is hidden. The incision is generally around 1 ~ 1.5 cm. If you sew with beauty thread, it will turn red in the early stage of recovery, and you will not see obvious scars after healing. The other part is in the nasal cavity, generally at the opening of the cross section of the nasal columella, mostly at the narrowest part of the nasal columella to reduce the length of the scar, and is arranged in the closest place between the skin and the medial foot of the alar cartilage, so as to reduce the contraction of the skin through the supporting structure of the medial foot. After two weeks, the wound was almost invisible.
