In addition to the above risks, the prerequisite for autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is that it should not exceed the tolerance of the nasal skin, if it exceeds this range, it will lead to complications such as perforation and incomplete skin healing. If the autologous cartilage leaves the original growth area, there will be a certain deformation rate, and the longer the graft, the greater the possibility of deformation. Generally, autologous cartilage rhinoplasty under the operation of professional doctors in regular institutions can avoid the above risks to the maximum extent. In addition, it is recommended that candidates wash their face of dirt and grease before surgery to reduce the number of bacteria, men should also trim their nose hair and clean their nasal cavity, and women should avoid menstruation.
