Seven advantages of cartilage rhinoplasty

01 Good tissue compatibility and stability

Cartilage rhinoplasty has a low absorption rate and can survive without blood supply , and can be integrated with the local tissue of the nose, easily fixed and will not shift.

02 The operation is relatively simple

Compared with the removal of nasal septal cartilage and costal cartilage, the operation is relatively simple, and the requirements for surgical instruments and physician skills are also lower.

03 Easy to carve and shape

Usual nasal prosthesis materials have a relatively fixed shape and cannot make a beautiful nose tip. The use of ear cartilage can satisfy the requirements of forming alar cartilage and raising the nose tip. Complex needs can reduce complications such as nose tip deformation and perforation.

04 Real touch

After ear cartilage rhinoplasty, you don’t have to worry about normal contact with the nose. The tip of the nose feels soft and realistic when pushed.

05 Hidden scars

Auricular cartilage can be removed from the front or back of the auricle. Even if the cartilage is removed through a preauricular incision, the scar will be very hidden because the incision is located at the edge of the concha cavity. In most cases, the cartilage is removed through an incision behind the ear.

06 The cut amount basically meets the needs

If you want to correct the appearance of the nose tip and the height of the nose bridge at the same time, it is usually enough to take the nasal septum cartilage plus unilateral ear cartilage. For general nose tip plastic surgery, unilateral ear cartilage can basically meet the needs. If the need is large, bilateral ear cartilage can be used.

07 Complications with minimal damage

Severe pain may occur after costal cartilage removal, and occasionally pneumothorax may occur; septal cartilage removal may cause bleeding, or symptomatic nasal septum perforation and Abnormal ventilation, etc. Ear cartilage removal has fewer complications.
