After nasal comprehensive surgery, if you are not satisfied and want to do repair surgery, do not know whether the ear cartilage used previously can be reused? Can ear cartilage be removed again?

First of all, can the nasal comprehensive repair of ear cartilage be used again?

In theory, ear cartilage can be used for nasal comprehensive repair. However, in the actual operation process, it still depends on the actual situation of individuals.

Comprehensive nasal surgery is generally to implant ear cartilage into nasal bone to improve nasal shape.

If a comprehensive nose repair operation is performed, Ear cartilage is well preserved and can not be absorbed, so it can be safely used again.

However, if the ear cartilage is not well preserved or cannot be used again for other reasons, it can be considered to take the ear cartilage again.

Can I take it again for rhinoplasty to repair ear cartilage?

In general, if the ear cartilage cannot be used again, nose augmentation surgery will only consider using it again. If you used to take only one side of the ear cartilage, you can have another nose repair operation.

But, If the ear cartilage on both sides was taken out before, it may be taken out again this time, and the difficulty coefficient is relatively large.

Because the ear cartilage itself will not grow after removal, but some people have special physique. Therefore, it is uncertain that ear cartilage will not grow after it is removed.

If it is regrowth, it can be taken out again. If it does not grow again, it cannot be taken out. Consider using other materials instead of ear cartilage for comprehensive nose repair surgery.
