How long does an ear cartilage rhinoplasty last?

After ear cartilage rhinoplasty, as long as no abnormality occurs, the effect is generally permanent, mainly because ear cartilage belongs to its own tissue, and the body can establish new blood circulation in the operated area to provide constant nutrition for ear cartilage and avoid necrosis of ear cartilage. However, some candidates who have had augmentation with ear cartilage will have a smaller nose tip, which is mostly related to the absorption of ear cartilage. The lack of blood circulation around the implanted ear cartilage in the initial postoperative period, combined with the recognition by the autoimmune system, i.e. macrophages, leads to selective resorption. Therefore, it is normal for the tip of the nose to become slightly smaller after the auricular cartilage rhinoplasty. In order to maintain better results, candidates need to pay attention to the following matters: 1, after the ear cartilage rhinoplasty bandage, you can clean the face and head, before that you can use a wet soft towel to gently rub the face without cover, within 6 weeks when cleaning the face should be careful, gentle, avoid violent rubbing action; 2, keep the rhinoplasty incision clean, timely drug changes, do not blow the nose, at the same time, the removal of nasal scabs is the key to postoperative incision care; 3, pain usually occurs when the anesthetic fails. If the pain is unbearable, analgesic drugs can be taken under the guidance of the doctor.
