According to my experience, the people who come to consult for nose cosmetic or plastic surgery, the nose is not high enough to occupy the first place; the nose is not long enough to occupy the second place; the tip of the nose, the nose wing is enlarged to occupy the third place; have done silicone surgery is not satisfied to occupy the fourth place; other hump nose, the dorsum of the nose shows the width of the fifth place; and is their own can’t say it out, but just think it doesn’t look good, and need to the doctor to analyze her (his) accounted for the sixth place, this kind of situation we discussed in another article. Like the nose has been injected with objects, the nose is skewed, no ventilation, etc., sporadic and so on should account for the seventh place. Therefore, what is the best material to use for implantation that needs to be used in at least 90% of the cases? After face-to-face analysis, in some populations, I sometimes propose: your case is better to use your own rib cartilage, the reaction of the candidates is often: a big surprise or feel afraid, so does it hurt? What about scarring? This is actually quite common, but it is true that in most cases there is no choice. After all, removing the rib cartilage is a bit more involved, both for the doctor and for the patient! Here I need to emphasize that rib cartilage will be the way to go if there are the following reasons, and that the use of expanders, silicone, Medpor, etc. will have unpredictable consequences: 1. The nose is very low and flat, i.e., there is basically no nose root. The use of prosthesis will make the root look a kind of fake feeling, unless just a little bit of augmentation, you can use other materials. 2, the nose is very short is usually called the nose. If the nose is just a little bit too short, rhinoplasty can make the length of the nose look longer, and the use of silicone or other materials is also a good solution. If the nose is more pronounced, a nose lengthening procedure is required, and autologous cartilage must be used at the tip of the nose. Unfortunately, in short-nosed patients, the cartilage in the nose itself is not well developed and does not contribute much, so in order to make a tip with good prominence, it is not really possible to do it without a large amount of autologous cartilage, otherwise the surgeon will have to do it without a lot of cartilage. Therefore, before this, I often say very decisively, do not take rib cartilage nasal tip is difficult to achieve results. 3, have done a few surgeries More than a few times to do silicone rhinoplasty, contracture is very strong, can often see, hypertrophy of the nose, nostrils facing the sky is its characteristics. In this case, if you don’t use rib cartilage, you will not have a good-looking nose. 4, the economic situation is not good. Why did you say so? Because taking cartilage can solve a lot of problems: rhinoplasty, tip of the nose, cushioning the middle of the face, if all the material costs are obvious. 5, other cases such as nasal reconstruction, it is necessary to use rib cartilage. Therefore, in some cases, the rib cartilage is the safest and most beautiful! Oh, also the most economical and practical.
