Common problems in augmentation rhinoplasty with autogenous costal cartilage
1. Deformation after autogenous costal cartilage transplantation

Autologous costal cartilage can undergo unidirectional bending deformation after being taken out of human body. Therefore, when sculpting costal cartilage, experienced plastic surgeons, like sculptors, will make full use of the biological characteristics and shape of the materials at that time and carve according to their deformation rate. It can be made into a beautiful bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose, or it can be made into a technical pillar to increase the nose column and lengthen the nose. The quality of this autogenous material is incomparable to all other rhinoplasty materials (silica gel, swelling material, hydroxyapatite, artificial bone, decalcified bone, etc.). ), so the operating cost is also the most expensive.

2. Psychological reaction of autogenous cartilage rhinoplasty

In other rhinoplasty methods, patients always think that their noses are artificial, and they are afraid to touch them, so they are particularly worried about the safety of their noses. After augmentation rhinoplasty with autogenous costal cartilage, patients will feel that it is all my own tissue, just transplanted from "A" to "B", and will not worry about its safety and service life.

3. Costal cartilage pain and incision scar.

Now the anesthesia is completely guaranteed, and the operation can be completely painless. Postoperative analgesia will not cause obvious pain. It won't be difficult to make a second incision in the chest. Use a special costal cartilage cutter to take out the required costal cartilage through a 2-3 cm long minimally invasive incision. After the incision is carefully stitched, the scar will be small and almost invisible.

4. Absorption rate of autogenous costal cartilage

According to a large number of surgical observations, as long as the wound healed smoothly after cartilage transplantation, cartilage absorption could not be seen from the outside. All kinds of cosmetic surgery with cartilage are the same. Therefore, there will be no later quality change after successful augmentation rhinoplasty with cartilage transplantation. Cartilage absorption can occur in cartilage transplantation area, with chronic inflammation and poor wound healing, which can be seen in scar plastic surgery or plastic surgery in infected area.

5. Safety of augmentation rhinoplasty with autogenous costal cartilage

Any operation is risky, like other operations, there will be bleeding, infection, swelling, congestion, unsightly and so on. The effects of various rhinoplasty methods are related to the operation and the shape and size of the nose mold. But it is safe in the later stage, and the autogenous costal cartilage rhinoplasty is safe. There will never be rejection and inflammation.
