The amount of risk of Rib Rhinoplasty depends on the condition of the surgical hospital equipment and the surgeon, generally the risk is not very high. The risks of surgery include intraoperative risks, postoperative infection, and calcification of the rib cartilage.
1. Intraoperative risk: Rib nose surgery is to build cartilage scaffolding at the bridge and tip of the nose by taking the own rib cartilage, so as to achieve the overall improvement of the nose, and we cannot exclude the risk of not achieving the expected results due to improper operation during the surgery.
2. Postoperative infection: Since there are at least two incisions in the rib nasal surgery, patients can not rule out the possibility of infection after the operation, the probability of infection is relatively large, and it is recommended that patients pay attention to good disinfection and cooperate with the doctor for postoperative antibiotic treatment.
3. Calcification of rib cartilage: compared with ear cartilage rhinoplasty, rib cartilage is more advanced, but there is calcification of rib cartilage, after reaching a certain age, rib cartilage will be calcified, and it is recommended that the patient take a film before the operation, to check whether there is any calcification of their own rib cartilage.
To sum up, there are many factors affecting the risk of rib nasal composite, which can’t be generalized and need to be determined according to the patient’s clinical situation. In addition, the patient’s own health condition has a considerable impact on the risk of rib nasal composite, so it is recommended that the patient avoids staying up all night before the operation and does a good job in managing his own health.
