Ear cartilage rhinoplasty is a common phenomenon and lasts for a long time. Don't worry too much. Generally, there is no abnormal phenomenon, which is a permanent rhinoplasty method.

So how long can the ear tip cartilage pad be used?

Although autologous cartilage has a certain absorption rate, the absorption rate of auricular cartilage is low, and the effect can last for a long time. Ear cartilage can survive without blood and there will be no rejection. Only beauty needs good postoperative care to ensure that the nose is not impacted by external forces, so that the effect of auricular cartilage pad can last longer.

Advantages of autologous auricular cartilage:

Cartilage of external ear is elastic cartilage with natural shape, good elasticity and easy carving. The application of turbinate cartilage transplantation can strengthen the supporting role of nasal columella and improve the collapse of alar caused by cartilage support. Moreover, the donor site incision of concha cartilage is relatively hidden, which has no obvious effect on the appearance of the healed ear. Because only a part of the ear cartilage is removed, the scaffold function of the remaining auricle cartilage is still intact, and the shape of the external ear will not change.

Ear cartilage pad suggests disadvantages:

For doctors who are inexperienced in surgery, this kind of ear cartilage can only play a temporary protective role, without any modification to the tip of the nose, and even make your delicate tip more round and blunt. In addition, the strength of concha cartilage is not enough and the supply is limited.
