Autologous cartilage began to swell at 1 ~ 2 hours after augmentation rhinoplasty, peaked at about 24 hours, stopped at 48 hours, began to subside at 72 hours, and the swelling disappeared in about one month. Generally, the recovery time of ear cartilage rhinoplasty is about 1-2 months, and it takes about 3-6 months to fully recover. Because everyone's physique, surgical trauma, doctor's skills, postoperative care and other factors are different, all affect the recovery time.

Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty material

1, ear cartilage

The histocompatibility of auricular cartilage transplantation is good and stable. It is integrated with the local tissue of the nose, which is easy to fix and will not shift; No rejection will occur; Autologous cartilage has low absorption rate and can survive without blood supply; It's easy to get from yourself.

2. Nasal septal cartilage

Nasal septal cartilage is a plate-like cartilage that separates two nasal cavities. When the anterior and upper parts of the nasal septum cartilage are removed integrally, the integrity of the nasal shape can be maintained and the required materials can be obtained. Moreover, the material is taken in the same incision as rhinoplasty, and no surgery is needed. For example, the nasal septum can prolong the transplantation. After the nasal septum is fixed in front, the tip of the nose can move back and forth, which solves the problems of "nose facing the sky" and "nostrils exposed"

3. Costal cartilage

Applicable to a wide range of people, rhinoplasty is difficult to solve.
