1. Does it have any impact on the body?

Most costal cartilage rhinoplasty is done from a small section of the upper end of the 6th, 7th, and 8th cartilage that is not complete. Calcified cartilage is generally 2~4cm long. Although cartilage is removed from the body, it will soon be replaced by fibrous tissue in the body, which will not affect physical health.

2. Is the wound scar obvious after removal?

Since the diameter of the costal cartilage to be removed is not large, the incision is generally about 2cm, and sutures are performed after removal, but the sutures need to be removed one week after the operation. Wound scars will gradually fade after 6 months, but doctors usually prescribe some scar-fading ointments to apply, and the effect is also good.

3. Do I need to wear an abdominal belt after costal cartilage rhinoplasty?

Yes, after the costal cartilage is removed, the abdominal belt will be tied for about a month. The specific time varies from person to person and depends on the speed of individual recovery.

4. Other precautions

The basic operations after surgery are: avoid eating, do not exercise strenuously, and rest well after the operation.

Spicy, irritating, and seafood foods should be avoided within one month after surgery. To avoid wound infection and dehiscence, strenuous exercise should be avoided for 1 to 3 months after surgery.
