What are the characteristics of nasal septal cartilage rhinoplasty?

Nasal septal cartilage is a clapboard cartilage tissue located between two nostrils, which is irregular quadrilateral plate. Autologous nasal septal cartilage transplantation is a part of autologous tissue transplantation, which avoids the rejection of allogenic tissue and has high safety. In the same surgical incision, nasal septum cartilage resection and nasal columella lengthening can be performed, and there is no need for a second operation area in other parts of the body, so the total wound area is reduced and it is more acceptable to beauty seekers.

In addition, the shaping and fixation of nasal septal cartilage is more convenient and the supporting effect is obvious. For those who pursue beauty, it is easier to achieve a more perfect nose shape with suitable nose conditions. Moreover, the cartilage of the nasal septum is hard, which is easy to shape a round and upturned nose. At the same time, it is also used to correct nasal septum curvature or nasal congestion in clinic.

On the other hand, the development of nasal septum in Asians is usually small and weak. Because of the limited bone mass, it can only be used for plastic surgery of the tip of the nose, and can be used for raising and lengthening the tip of the nose and the columella. There will be some absorption in the later stage, and the absorption rate varies from person to person. Absorption will change the original stereotype and affect the overall effect.

At the same time, the texture of nasal septum cartilage is harder than alar cartilage, so it often has a hard touch after operation. During the operation of nasal septum, the local supporting structure will be preserved, and more than half of the cartilage tissue of nasal septum will be removed, which may affect the nasal function and lead to the risk of crooked nose in the later stage.

What about the dermis and fascia of rhinoplasty?

Nasal plastic surgery with dermal or fascial soft tissue filling was first used for prosthetic rhinoplasty to assist nasal tip plastic surgery, especially for cases with congenital thin nasal skin and mild nasal deformity. Because after rhinoplasty with a simple prosthesis, the skin at the tip of the nose may be pushed thin by the prosthesis, and even the skin will be broken after a long time, resulting in the exposure of the prosthesis. Therefore, the doctor will cut off a small part of the body's dermal tissue (often used in gluteal sulcus) or fascia tissue and pile it on the front end of the prosthesis to increase the thickness of the skin at the tip of the nose, protect the prosthesis like a shield, and at the same time partially elongate it to create a more perfect nose.

You can also wrap the back of the prosthesis with dermis or fascia tissue, which can thicken the skin on the back of the nose, reduce the light transmittance of the prosthesis and make the nose shape more natural and realistic. In recent years, some scholars and doctors advocate that only dermis or posterior auricular fascia should be used for cases with low bridge of nose, and using autologous tissue to completely raise the soft tissue of nose and back will make the appearance more natural. However, this method is not suitable for beauty seekers with low bridge of nose, because the plastic ability of soft tissue is poor and it is difficult to shape a more three-dimensional nose.
