The answer is no, any plastic surgery has risks and certain sequelae, and costal cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty is no exception.

So what are the risks and sequelae of rib augmentation rhinoplasty?

1. Risk of nose deviation

Cartilage will bend, just how much, no treatment of cartilage, the average bending degree is 9 degrees. Skilled doctors can control the temperature at 2 degrees through micro special treatment, which is acceptable to most people.

Some people have had their rib nose done for 3 years, and the nose is not bent.

2. Risk absorption

The absorption rate of costal cartilage is basically between 0-10%, which will affect the height and width of the nose in the later stage. The better the doctor's treatment technology, the lower the absorption rate, which can be controlled at about 4%.

To reduce the absorption rate, doctors can fill some cartilage particles or wrap them with fascia. Moreover, most of this absorption takes place within one year, and there is no need to worry about it after one year.

3. Scar problem

Scar is also a common sequela of costal cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty.

If the rib incision is excessively inclined, scars will be left, but only a small segment of the 6th or 7th rib cartilage will be taken during the operation, and about 2 cm of incision will be made without affecting the stability of the whole chest. The skin surface will not be sunken, and the appearance will have little impact.

But the costal cartilage must have scars of different sizes. This sequela can be diluted by applying some scar removal drugs.

Since costal cartilage nasal augmentation is risky and has sequelae, can costal cartilage nasal augmentation last forever?

Any augmentation rhinoplasty method has its advantages and disadvantages, so does costal nose. In contrast, the sequelae of costal cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty are relatively small, many of which can be effectively avoided.

If the sequelae are really good, I'm afraid they will not be promoted so quickly. Its appearance fills the gap of hard and false silicone rhinoplasty and insufficient ear cartilage support, giving the public more choices for rhinoplasty.

The advantage of autologous cartilage is that once it is completed, there will be no long-term problems. In theory, it can be maintained for a long time, but the premise is that not everyone is suitable for rib nose.

There is no good material for augmentation rhinoplasty, only suitable materials.
