Rhinoplasty materials include prosthesis (silica gel, swelling) and autologous cartilage (ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage, costal cartilage). In fact, all materials have their own advantages and disadvantages. Prosthetic materials are easy to trim, the operation process is simple, the damage to nasal tissue is small, and additional surgical cutting body materials are not needed. Costal cartilage surgery is traumatic, so it is necessary to make an incision in the chest wall to cut the costal cartilage, which is at risk of absorption, displacement and deformation after transplantation.

In the choice of rhinoplasty materials, what is needed is "tailor-made", and the materials are selected according to the needs of the nose. For those who don't want to do too much surgery and can't accept the scar on the chest wall, but the nose is too short, ear cartilage or nasal septum cartilage can be used for nasal lengthening and nasal dorsal pad prosthesis; If the tip of the nose is in good shape, only the bridge of the nose needs to be filled, and hyaluronic acid, prosthesis or costal cartilage and autologous fat can be used; If the tip of the nose is poor and only needs a little improvement, you can use prosthesis+auricular cartilage, or whole auricular cartilage, auricular cartilage+nasal septum cartilage and costal cartilage.
