The controversy about nasal septum cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty has always been relatively large. Many doctors recommend nasal septum augmentation rhinoplasty. Why on earth is this?

The main reasons are: ① the number of nasal septum is insufficient, and the materials are limited; ② It is difficult to completely remove the nasal septal cartilage, which requires high technical skills of doctors ③ Complications may occur after removal; ④ The nasal support force decreases, and the nasal bridge has a certain probability of collapse after surgery; ⑤ There is a better choice for nasal augmentation cartilage.

The other three points are easy to understand, so I won't say more here. I will explain the main reasons for the fourth and fifth points in detail!

The doctor does not recommend nasal septum augmentation surgery, because there is a certain probability of collapse of the nasal bridge after the surgery, do you know?

This is why many people say that nasal septum augmentation surgery should not be performed.

The nasal septum cartilage is located in the middle of the nasal column, and forms a bridge of the nose with the nasal bone, which has a certain supporting effect on the nasal tip. The height of the nose and the beauty of the tip of the nose depend on it.

Once too much is removed, the lateral nasal cartilage will lose support, leading to different degrees of collapse of the nose after surgery. On the premise that the nasal septum support is not affected, the doctor should take it out and transplant it. The technical difficulty and test are relatively large, and the operation price will be relatively high.

Secondly, because there is a better choice for nasal augmentation cartilage, why should we take the risk to choose nasal septal cartilage for nasal augmentation?

Compared with nasal septal cartilage, costal cartilage is rich in resources and has good supporting force, which can fully meet the requirements of nasal dorsal support. Prosthetic or allograft bone can also be used for rib removal;

At the tip of the nose, the ear cartilage has moderate elasticity, natural radian, soft touch, true and not rigid, and the ear incision is easy to hide, and almost no trace can be seen after complete recovery.

Therefore, I have to say that nasal septal cartilage is not a particularly good choice for nasal plastic materials. It is more suitable for a few Europeans and Americans with good nasal foundation, not for most Oriental people.
