Autologous rib rhinoplasty can last for more than 5 years. The following are common problems with this method:
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 nose is artificial and dare not touch it, so they are particularly worried about the safety of their nose. 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.
