The difference between rib nose and ear cartilage. Is rib nose good?

The technology for nose surgery is becoming more and more advanced, so there are many ways to do nose surgery. So what is the difference between ribs and ear cartilage? Let’s take a look today!

The difference between rib nose and ear cartilage

Ear cartilage is mainly used for nose tip lifting surgery. It has good tissue compatibility and is stable. Advantages of ear cartilage: ear cartilage and local nasal tissues are integrated, easy to fix, and will not shift. There will be no rejection reaction. In addition, ear cartilage is less absorbed, and the absorption rate of autologous cartilage is low. It can survive without blood supply. Ear cartilage rhinoplasty is simple to operate, and it is easy to obtain from the body. It is easy to carve and trim the model, which is an ideal material for rhinoplasty. The touch is real, and there is no need to worry about normal contact with the nose after surgery. The nose tip can be pushed and pressed, and the touch is soft and realistic. The ear cartilage in the ear cavity is used to lift the nose tip. The ear cartilage in the ear cavity will regenerate, the appearance will not change, and the wound can be hidden behind the ear and is not easy to be discovered. The thickness of the ear cartilage is just suitable for placement on the nose tip. Advantages of rib cartilage rhinoplasty: As another representative of transparent cartilage, rib cartilage has a large number of sources, reliable texture, and safe material collection methods. It is also very good for various congenital nasal deformities that are more difficult, and acquired nasal deformities caused by trauma or surgery. However, the technical requirements for this surgery and the various hardware conditions of the doctor have been greatly improved. The advantages of rib cartilage are: low absorption rate, will not penetrate the skin, no blood vessels, easy to survive, and will not cause rejection. It is recommended to decide according to your own situation.

Who is the rib nose suitable for?

It is especially suitable for those who are seeking rhinoplasty for difficult plastic surgery and insufficient cartilage materials in other parts. For example, those with severe "collapsed" noses need more "parts", and rib cartilage rhinoplasty becomes the first choice; those who have repeated plastic surgery failures and must use filling materials to repair, can only use autologous rib cartilage to improve; those who have extremely high requirements for rhinoplasty, do not want to have abnormal conditions in the later stage of surgery, and are very averse to artificial materials; those with relatively thick skin and soft tissue, at this time, rhinoplasty requires strong support to show the contour, and rib cartilage is particularly suitable; those with relatively weak septal cartilage development and insufficient ear cartilage strength; those with various congenital nasal deformities, acquired nasal deformities caused by trauma or surgery, etc. If the autologous rhinoplasty material is taken from rib cartilage, there will be incision scars on the chest, and the trauma is slightly larger. Secondly, after the autologous rib cartilage is taken out of the human body, it will bend and deform in one direction. Therefore, when carving rib cartilage, experienced plastic surgeons will make full use of the biological characteristics and shape of the material at that time like sculptors, and carve according to its deformation rate. There is also the possibility of absorption and deformation, so it is recommended that those seeking beauty choose plastic surgery in a regular institution to ensure the safety of the operation.

What is autologous rib cartilage?

Fully autologous rib cartilage, many people have begun to understand rib cartilage nose, and prefer to use their own tissue to build the nose, which may feel better, without the presence of foreign matter. However, rib cartilage is perfect for the tip of the nose, but there are certain problems for the nasal bridge. First of all, the amount used for the tip of the nose is not too large, and most people can take it out, but when the amount of the nasal bridge is added, there is a certain uncertainty. For example, if the amount taken out is insufficient, the nasal bridge may be short. What should I do in this case? In addition, the rib cartilage has a physiological curvature, which no one can solve at present. It is okay to make the tip of the nose, but there is a certain probability that the nose will be crooked within half a year to a year after making the nasal bridge. This is also a trouble. Although a good stable effect can be achieved after the second adjustment, it still requires a long journey and anesthesia and surgery. So in general, it is not particularly recommended to make all autologous rib cartilage. Of course, if you can find an authoritative expert in this field, you can also try it.

Is rib nose permanent?

Is the effect of rib cartilage rhinoplasty lifelong? Choosing a regular hospital and a professional surgeon for rib cartilage rhinoplasty is more conducive to the safety and effectiveness of the surgery. The effect of autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty is permanent, because autologous cartilage rhinoplasty has good tissue compatibility and is relatively stable. It heals with the local tissue of the nose, is easy to fix, does not shift, and does not have any rejection phenomenon. It is an ideal rhinoplasty material, and the effect is maintained for life. Reasonable postoperative care is more conducive to the effect of the surgery. It heals with the local tissue of the nose, is easy to fix, does not shift, does not have rejection reaction, and has little absorption. It is an ideal rhinoplasty material.
