Ear cartilage rhinoplasty: Will the ear deform?
After rhinoplasty with ear cartilage, the ear will not deform, and the cartilage in the cochlea will regenerate. When the ear grows out, it will be the same as before, and the incision can be hidden behind the ear during the operation, which is not easy to be found. Rhinoplasty with auricular cartilage is usually taken from the hidden part behind the ear. The auricular cartilage will grow back after a period of time, but the perichondrium should be preserved when taking the auricular cartilage, so as to ensure the auricular cartilage to grow back. Ear cartilage rhinoplasty is to take out some cartilage tissue from the ear and implant it in the position of the nose. The selected material is extracted from itself, so there will be no rejection. This kind of operation is relatively safe, and it will be effective for life after rhinoplasty, and it will not cause the ear to become ugly, because the cartilage tissue in the cochlea will regenerate, so there is no need to worry about the ear becoming ugly. It is suggested that when recovering after operation, be careful not to let the nose get wet to avoid infection.
Ear cartilage rhinoplasty ear pain for a few days
Ear cartilage swelling for 3 -5 days. Ear cartilage is usually used in rhinoplasty, and cartilage tissue from other parts of the body is transplanted to the nose to cover the high external nose. Ear cartilage is one of the most commonly used parts. For the patient's condition, you can go to a nearby clinic or hospital for a doctor's examination and then listen to the doctor's advice. Ear cartilage rhinoplasty should be the most painful stage on the second or third day after operation, and the specific day varies from person to person. Everyone's physical condition is different, and the treatment effect and recovery time are also different. Local pain or infection may be caused after rhinoplasty, and anti-inflammatory and anti-infective drugs should be taken to relieve it.
How long is the recovery period of auricular cartilage rhinoplasty?
It takes about 10 ~ 14 days for swelling and congestion to subside after rhinoplasty, and it naturally takes about 2 ~ 3 months. Young people recover faster, while middle-aged and elderly people recover a little slower. In order to better present the postoperative effect, it is also important to do a good job of postoperative local nursing:
First, don't do strenuous exercise after rhinoplasty to avoid the displacement of the prosthesis caused by the impact of the surgical site.
Second, the surgical incision should not be stained with water to avoid incision infection after being stained with water.
Third, you can use ice packs for cold compress within 72 hours of operation, and local hot compress after 72 hours.
Fourth, don't eat spicy food, don't smoke and drink after operation, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and high-protein food, and pay more attention to rest. These are conducive to the recovery and presentation of postoperative effects.
Can auricle cartilage rhinoplasty be absorbed?
Ear cartilage rhinoplasty will be absorbed in most cases after a long time, but not all. Ear cartilage is taken out of the ear, carved and stuffed into the nose. At this time, it needs to be fed through the nutrient solution of nasal tissue, and a small part will be absorbed more or less during the recovery process, generally between 10%- 15%, but it will not affect the postoperative shaping effect. Moreover, the nose will not be absorbed after it is completely recovered, and the appearance is realistic and natural, and the touch is real, which can be maintained permanently. Autologous auricular cartilage is used for rhinoplasty, which has good histocompatibility and no rejection, and the prosthesis does not shift or skew after operation.
