Cartilage materials used for rhinoplasty are usually autologous auricular cartilage and costal cartilage. Both can be used, and both have their own advantages.

The advantage of using auricular cartilage is that its softness and toughness are close to those of alar cartilage, but its quantity is rare.

Costal cartilage is dominant, with high toughness and strength, but hard. The general attending doctor will give you advice.
