Is costal cartilage or ear cartilage the choice for rhinoplasty?
In recent years, with the continuous improvement of public aesthetics, people have gradually found the importance of the nose, so rhinoplasty is also a relatively popular plastic project. There are many types of rhinoplasty. In addition to silicone prosthesis and expansion rhinoplasty, there are cartilage rhinoplasty, which specifically uses rib cartilage and ear cartilage, because of its own cartilage, We are not afraid of exclusions or late emergencies, so we will be more interested in this project. However, Xiao Bian found that the choice of ear cartilage and costal cartilage is not very clear. Here Xiao Bian has sorted it out for you. Let's take a look~
Ear cartilage - shaping the delicate nose tip
If you want a delicate and beautiful nose, shaping the nose tip is the key. Use a prosthesis to shape the nose back, and ear cartilage to create the nose tip. This is a common way in modern nasal comprehensive surgery. The nose back is tall, and the nose tip is delicate. * The good thing is that you can do the "push the nose" action after recovery, and the feel is very real.
Its advantages are:
1. One advantage of ear cartilage is that it is not easy to be displaced and fixed;
2. Cartilage removal does not require complicated surgical procedures, and the location of cartilage removal does not require special treatment;
3. Good shaping. Ear cartilage can be shaped by single-layer and multi-layer overlapping, and carved into the desired shape and height, real and natural.
Rib Cartilage -- Solving Difficult Nasoplasty
Oriental people generally have flat facial features, usually with collapsed nose and developed nasal septum None is very good. When the nasal septum cannot be used to solve the nasal problem, the costal cartilage becomes a good substitute. Usually, we take the sixth or seventh costal cartilage under the breast and carve it into the desired shape, which can play a strong supporting role. It is especially suitable for difficult operations such as the congenital condition of the nose is not good, or the nasal deformity caused by trauma, Because the rib cartilage is hard and the shape is easy to carve, it can be used to build the back and tip of the nose.
Its advantages are:
1. The amount is enough, and the costal cartilage material is abundant, so don't worry about not using enough;
2. Good support and plasticity;
3. As a kind of cartilage tissue, the hardness of costal cartilage is sufficient;
4. It can not only shape a tall bridge of the nose, but also create a stable nose tip. It can also extend the nose and support the columella.
Through the above explanation, do you have the answer to "whether costal cartilage or ear cartilage should be selected for rhinoplasty?"?
