Why does the ear cartilage become smaller after rhinoplasty?

The ear cartilage becomes smaller after rhinoplasty. This is actually related to the absorption rate of ear cartilage. The problem of ear cartilage absorption rate is unavoidable, but it can be controlled artificially. Generally, due to the lack of blood circulation system around the ear cartilage in the early stage, and the recognition by the own immune system (that is, macrophages), the early stage macrophages will selectively absorb the ear cartilage. The general absorption rate is less than 15%, so it is normal for the tip of the nose to become a little smaller after ear cartilage rhinoplasty. But having ear cartilage augmentation and rhinoplasty is definitely better than not having it done.
