Advantages and disadvantages of cartilage rhinoplasty
1. Nasal septal cartilage: Autologous nasal septal cartilage transplantation is a part of autologous tissue transplantation, which avoids the rejection of allogeneic tissue and has high safety. The operation of taking cartilage from nasal septum and lengthening nasal columella in the same surgical incision does not need a second operation area in other parts of the body, thus reducing the total trauma area of the human body. Nasal septal cartilage is easy to shape and fix, and the supporting effect is obvious. For customers with indications, it is easier to meet the requirements of nasal plastic surgery. The cartilage of the nasal septum is hard, which is easy to shape a round and upturned nose, and can even treat diseases such as curved nasal septum or stuffy nose by the way.

2. Ear cartilage: Good histocompatibility and stability. It is integrated with the local tissue of the nose, which is easy to fix and will not shift; No rejection will occur; Less absorption, low absorption rate of autologous cartilage, and survival without blood supply; The operation is simple, it is taken from itself and easy to obtain. The model is easy to carve and trim, and it is an ideal material for rhinoplasty. The usual nasal prosthesis material, with fixed shape, can't make a beautiful nasal tip, but the ear cartilage can be used to shape the nasal tip. Eliminate nose deformation, perforation, etc. The touch is real, so you don't have to worry about normal contact with your nose after the operation. You can push your nose. It feels soft and lifelike. Using the auricular cartilage of the auricular fossa to rhinoplasty, the auricular cartilage of the auricular fossa will regenerate without changing its appearance, and the wound can be hidden behind the ear and is not easy to be found. The thickness of ear cartilage is just right for the nose.

3, costal cartilage: low absorption rate; Will not penetrate the skin; No blood vessels, easy to survive, no rejection; You can carve an ideal shape at will; It has a wide range of applications.

Therefore, cartilage tissue augmentation rhinoplasty has good histocompatibility and is easy to fuse with nasal tissue. Easy to fix, no displacement. There will be no physical rejection. Autologous cartilage with low absorption rate can survive even without blood supply. The operation is simple, because the rhinoplasty material is taken from the body, so the material is easy to obtain. The cartilage materials needed for augmentation rhinoplasty with autologous cartilage can be provided by autologous cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and costal cartilage. Plasticity is easy, cartilage is very easy to plasticity, so it is the most ideal material for rhinoplasty. The shape of rhinoplasty prosthesis material is relatively fixed, and it is not easy to be molded into a more perfect shape. But auricular cartilage rhinoplasty has no defects in this respect. Really, because it blends well with the nasal tissue, the nose is very real, there is no need to worry about displacement, and normal touching and pushing will not be affected, and the feel is very real. Any surgical method has its corresponding shortcomings, and autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is no exception. In addition to the damage to the donor site, there are the following limitations:

1, soft nasal septum: due to the limited resectability of nasal septum cartilage, it can only be used for cosmetic surgery of nasal tip and columella. There will be some absorption, and the absorption rate varies from person to person, generally below 15%.

2, ear cartilage: ear cartilage is small, only used to raise the tip of the nose. Not suitable for columella, because the cartilage in the concha cavity is bent, and the columella will bend after operation. There will be some absorption, and the absorption rate varies from person to person, generally below 15%. Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty has the following six advantages:

1, good histocompatibility and stability. It is integrated with the local tissue of the nose, which is easy to fix and will not shift;

2. There will be no rejection;

3, less absorption, low cartilage absorption rate, and can survive without blood supply;

4, the operation is simple and easy to obtain from itself. Cartilage rhinoplasty can generally take ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and costal cartilage;

5, the touch is real, you don't have to worry about normal contact with the nose after surgery, you can push the nose, and the feel is soft and realistic;

6. It is easy to carve and trim the model, and it is an ideal material for rhinoplasty. The usual nasal prosthesis material has a fixed shape and can't make a beautiful nose tip, but the use of auricular cartilage can completely achieve the effect of shaping the nose tip and prevent the nose from deformation and perforation.
