Will the nose collapse after taking the nasal septal cartilage?

Butterfly screaming Ask
Nasal septal cartilage, also known as nasal septum, has great flexibility and mobility, so it is generally not damaged by external forces. As an autologous tissue, nasal septal cartilage has little possibility of rejection and high safety. However, the nasal septum has a limited amount of soft bone, which is generally used to extend the nasal columella or pad the nasal base. When we remove the nasal septum cartilage, we will retain the amount of nasal septum cartilage required for the support frame, so as to maintain the stability of the nasal septum. Therefore, the nasal septum bone removal will not lead to nose deformation.
pained Ask
When cutting the nasal septal cartilage, it is necessary to ensure that the nasal septal cartilage is taken without changing the support force. During the removal process, 7~10mm cartilage at the back of the nose and the tail side should be retained. As long as the L-shaped support cartilage is retained, the nose will not collapse. The removal of nasal septal cartilage is like opening a window on the door. The supporting structure of the door has not changed. As long as appropriate amount of cartilage is cut, it will not cause collapse.
Mozart Ask
The nasal septum cartilage is the main part of the nasal septum. It is located at the end of the nasal back and supports the pressure of the nasal back. Generally speaking, the nasal septum cartilage taken for augmentation rhinoplasty needs to retain a 10-15mm L-shaped stent, which is enough to continue supporting the nose, so that the nose will not collapse.
