It is self-evident that a beautiful nose is important for appearance, and nose augmentation is also a common plastic surgery nowadays. At present, there are many methods of nasal augmentation (silicone, expanded body, hyaluronic acid), and autologous cartilage is one of them. Of course, the so-called autologous cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty is to use autologous cartilage to make the nose.

But carefully, it can be divided into three kinds, namely ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and costal cartilage. What is the best material for augmentation rhinoplasty? Today, let's take a look at what these cartilages are used for rhinoplasty.

1、 Augmentation rhinoplasty with auricular cartilage

Ear cartilage is mainly used for lifting the nose tip. Because the usual nasal prosthesis materials are relatively fixed in shape, and can not make a beautiful nose tip, while the use of ear cartilage can completely achieve the effect of shaping the nose tip, eliminating nose deformation, perforation, and so on, with real touch. However, the amount of ear cartilage is very small, so it is generally only used to raise the tip of the nose, not suitable for the columella and the back of the nose.

During augmentation rhinoplasty, ear cartilage is used to cushion the tip of the nose, and then the prosthesis is used to cushion the back of the nose to shape the nose and improve the shape of the nose. The back of the nose is high and the tip of the nose is exquisite, so the beautiful nose comes out. Ear cartilage can be easily fixed without displacement and rejection. Moreover, the operation is simple and easy to obtain. However, there is a disadvantage that there may be partial absorption, and the absorption rate varies from person to person 15% following.

2、 Nasal septal cartilage augmentation

Nasal septal cartilage is a plate cartilage that plays a role in dividing the two nasal passages. The doctor will keep a part of it when taking it out, which will not damage the health of the nose. It can not only maintain the integrity of the nose shape, but also obtain the required materials. The nasal septum cartilage can be used to raise and extend the nasal tip and columella, and solve the problems of low and flat nasal tip, nose facing upward, short nasal columella, and low nasolabial angle.

The nasal septum is hard in soft bone ， Easy to shape and fix, with obvious supporting effect 。 In addition, the surgery of removing nasal septal cartilage and rhinoplasty are usually performed in the same surgical incision, so the second incision is not needed, and the total wound area is reduced. However, like ear cartilage, the amount of nasal septal cartilage that can be cut is limited, so it can only be used for the plastic surgery of nasal tip and columella. There will also be partial absorption after surgery, and the absorption rate varies from person to person.

3、 Costal cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty

Different from the previous two kinds of cartilage, costal cartilage has a large number of sources, which can be used to simultaneously require nasal dorsal elevation, nasal tip, and nasal columella extension. Especially for secondary or multiple nasal repair, costal cartilage nasal augmentation is the choice of * *. For various difficult congenital nasal malformations, acquired nasal malformations caused by trauma or surgery "* * Weapons".

The absorption rate of costal cartilage is low, it will not penetrate the skin, and rejection will not occur. Good support, strong plasticity and wide application range. however, The removal and carving of costal cartilage have high technical requirements for doctors The operation is difficult and takes a long time. Relatively, the recovery time may also be a little longer. There is also the possibility of absorption deformation in the long term. Of course, the cost is also relatively large.

Which one is better for rhinoplasty? In fact, ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage and costal cartilage have their own advantages and disadvantages in augmentation rhinoplasty. Different methods of augmentation rhinoplasty are applicable to different situations. Therefore, you must choose a suitable solution according to your specific nasal conditions.
