Take autologous cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty, will there be sequelae?
What is autologous cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty? Generally speaking, when autologous cartilage is used for nasal plastic surgery, almost all of the work is nasal synthesis. Because autologous cartilage is soft and brittle, which can avoid body damage, the cartilage includes ear cartilage, costal cartilage and nasal septal cartilage. More importantly, the effect of nasal augmentation with autologous cartilage is not only good in texture, but also does not appear rejection, The nose of the beauty seeker looks more natural and beautiful after plastic surgery. Let's introduce these three types of cartilage in detail.
one 、 Auricular cartilage
It is elastic cartilage with uneven shape. It contains a lot of elastic fibers, so it can bend and rebound. In rhinoplasty, the cartilage in the ear nail cavity is mainly taken.
2. Costal cartilage
The costal cartilage is hyaline cartilage, connecting the bone ribs and sternum, although it is milky white and opaque. Compared with the nasal septal cartilage, the costal soft bone is harder, has more tissue, and has a stronger three-dimensional sense.
3. Cartilage of nasal septum
It is hyaline cartilage that separates two nasal passages and is wrapped by mucilaginous periosteum on the outside. The fresh nasal septal cartilage is translucent, generally flat and thin, hard and almost inelastic.
So what kind of autologous cartilage should be used in rhinoplasty for these three types of cartilage?
1. Ear cartilage: thin, soft and elastic, more used to pad the nose tip, so that the touch of the nose tip is more soft and natural; If the nasal base is good, it can also be used to extend the nasal columella, but if the nasal columella is too short, it will be "more than enough".
2. Rib cartilage: hard and massive, suitable for those who have poor nose foundation and high requirements for beauty, which can be used to reconstruct the anatomical structure of the nose tip or Rhinoplasty Cushion the bridge of nose.
3. Nasal septum cartilage: flat and stiff, mostly used to lengthen the nasal columella, raise the tip of the nose or lengthen the nasal septum, and become the top pillar of the nasal cone. It is easy to correct the flat nose and nose pointing upward.
*Later, that is, what will happen to the body after the autologous cartilage is taken?
In fact, after the ear cartilage is removed, the appearance of the outer ear remains the same. If the perichondrium is preserved, the cartilage will regenerate and the incision will be hidden behind the ear; The nasal septum cartilage is only taken from its rear part, and the whole big frame remains. The nasal mucoperiosteal or mucoperiosteal on both sides of the nasal septum is complete, which has no impact on the nose; Then there is the costal cartilage. Since only a small segment of it is taken, it will not have any impact, and only leave a small trace at the place where the material is taken.
