The three-dimensional sense of oriental silhouette is insufficient, especially the mountain root and bridge of nose are generally low, and the nose wing is too wide, which makes the face look flat. Recently, rhinoplasty has become popular, because many people are eager to see the delicate noses of celebrities and online celebrities. Coupled with the variety of surgical methods and implants, there are too many names to look at, and I don't know how to choose.

The same is "costal cartilage rhinoplasty". Why is the difference so big?

"Recently, many people have a bad nose and go to the clinic for help. It is said that it is good to see bloggers sharing costal cartilage rhinoplasty through online search, and it is also good to use their own ribs. However, it is not as good as others to find a doctor who advertises that they can do costal cartilage rhinoplasty. Not only did he not get a beautiful nose full of expectations, but it was even worse than before. " The facial plastic surgeon said. "This is because the key to the success of' costal cartilage rhinoplasty' lies in the doctor's technical and aesthetic quality. Without a suitable doctor, it is naturally difficult to achieve the expected results. Costal cartilage may not look good, but many people finish it even more strangely. 」

The doctor further analyzed the rhinoplasty surgery that is often heard in the market, whether it is Korean rhinoplasty or Japanese rhinoplasty, two-stage or three-stage structural rhinoplasty, and even Camerala rhinoplasty with auricular cartilage. First, there is a fixed nose model as the base, and then the doctor can carve and trim it according to the original nose shape of the consumer. "To put it bluntly, it is a nose model based on semi-finished products. Even if it is equipped with an ear cartilage pad nose, the trimming range is not large." 」

Autologous cartilage is not exclusive, but its shape needs careful carving.

But costal cartilage rhinoplasty is different. A small piece of costal cartilage removed from the body is not in the shape that can be directly implanted into the nasal cavity and needs to be carved from beginning to end. In other words, whether you can create the most suitable nose shape for consumers depends entirely on the doctor's skill and aesthetic feeling. "The advantage of costal cartilage rhinoplasty is that you don't have to worry about rejection, contracture and implant penetrating the nasal tip when using tissues from yourself. It is very suitable for people who are allergic to beauty, people who have failed surgery before or people who have been infected and inflamed. In addition, the nose is naturally flat, the prosthesis on the market has no suitable shape, or patients who feel worn out after rhinoplasty surgery and want to rebuild after taking out the prosthesis are all suitable for rhinoplasty with costal cartilage. Because costal cartilage is harder than auricular cartilage, costal cartilage rhinoplasty can only meet the requirements of consumers who need more pads because their original nose shape is not good. 」

The operation time of costal cartilage rhinoplasty is longer than that of general rhinoplasty. You need to take out a small piece of costal cartilage under the ribs first, and the wound is about 3 cm. Then, the doctor carved the structure of costal cartilage on the spot. "This is the most critical part. Before the operation, we will trim the craniofacial condition of the consumer and master the original nasal bone type. After putting it in, we need to make fine adjustments. Not only should the front face be straight and exquisite, but also the height of the side, the shape of the tip and alar when looking up, and the position of the roots, eyes and eyebrows should be considered in all directions. Therefore, the operation time will be 1.5 to 2 times that of general rhinoplasty. 」

The success rate of the operation depends on the doctor's experience and aesthetics.

It's like using the same brush and paint, but because of different artistic accomplishment and talent, it's impossible for everyone to draw masterpieces like Picasso and Van Gogh. Doctors who can control costal cartilage rhinoplasty also need talent. "In the face of a costal cartilage, how to carefully carve it to meet the needs of consumers and make up and strengthen the original nose with costal cartilage is, to put it bluntly,' nothing can be done'. The doctor said that even if he has a major in otorhinolaryngology, understands the nasal cavity structure, has many years of surgical experience and many successful rhinoplasty experiences, every operation should be carefully weighed and carefully carved like an artist. " Therefore, consumers who come to consult are often endowed with the concept that doctors must be carefully selected for costal cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty, and doctors' experience, works and word of mouth must be carefully observed before operation to make precious costal cartilage. 」

Finally, the doctor stressed that the costal cartilage rhinoplasty is more difficult than the general rhinoplasty, but because it can be completely tailored to the shortcomings of the original nose, as long as the doctor's technical experience is deep enough, the natural beauty after the operation is better than the artificial implant rhinoplasty. "That's because the shape of the implant is limited. Even if the doctor can trim it, there are still certain shape restrictions. If you don't choose a doctor with rich experience in costal cartilage rhinoplasty, the effect gap will be obvious, and costal cartilage may not look good. Therefore, it is suggested that consumers who want to do costal cartilage rhinoplasty must choose carefully. 」
