Autologous cartilage is hard enough and elastic, and does not need a lot of blood vessel support. Losing a small part of cartilage will not damage its own function, so autologous cartilage has become an important source of rhinoplasty materials.
There are three kinds of autogenous cartilage materials for rhinoplasty: auricular cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and costal cartilage.
1.？ Ear cartilage is often used to shape the tip of the nose, and a prosthesis is usually used to shape the back of the nose. This collocation is a very common way of comprehensive nasal surgery.
Ear cartilage is made of its own material, and there is no rejection. The process of bone harvesting is simple, the shaping is convenient, and the hand feeling after operation is more natural and real.
2.？ Nasal septal cartilage is mainly used to solve the problems of "nose facing the sky" and "nose exposed" The nasal septum is mainly used to shape the nose and the tip of the nose to create a stiff nose. By extension, the tip can move forward and downward.
Nasal septal cartilage is flat, with good supporting force, easy carving, no displacement and good stability.
3.？ Rib cartilage rhinoplasty is suitable for the whole nose and can be used as rhinoplasty material for the bridge of the nose.
Costal cartilage is hard enough, easy to carve, good in support and strong in plasticity, and can be used for shaping the bridge of the nose, the tip of the nose, or for lengthening and supporting the columella. Enough, not exclusive, not broken skin.
The effect of autologous cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty does not depend on the surgical method itself, but mainly depends on the following factors:
1.？ Go to a regular plastic surgery hospital to find a regular doctor for surgery.
2.？ Don't ask for too high or too sharp a height, do it according to your actual situation.
3.？ Do a good job in postoperative nursing.
