Advantages and disadvantages of cartilage rhinoplasty

Cartilage, as a living tissue of the human body, is transplanted into the nose area and has advantages for rhinoplasty that are unmatched by other materials: first, it is alive. It contains thousands of cartilage cells, which are very resistant to hypoxia and easily survives. The cartilage is transplanted from the auricle, septum, and ribs to the nose, and after a certain amount of time to “recuperate”, it settles in its new territory. Therefore, you can twist and pinch it with your hands, as long as you don’t mind the pain, you can toss it around! Secondly, there is no rejection problem with autologous cartilage; if the prosthesis is a passing visitor in the human body, it has no feelings for your body and will leave as soon as it says; only your own cartilage will be loyal to you for life and accompany you to the end of your life – love you for 10,000 years!

This is when the back of the nose becomes red, breaks down and bleeds pus, signaling the complete “break-up” of the relationship! Cartilage also has heaps of advantages: impervious to light, basically non-absorbent, strong support, not easy to deform, not damage the surface skin, etc.. But it also has small disadvantages: the content is small and precious; the procedure is multi-step and time-consuming; the cartilage requires additional minor surgery and may have traces of surgical incisions; the overall cost of the procedure is expensive. However, no one is perfect, and perhaps it is because of its small disadvantages that you are so obsessed with it.
