Autologous cartilage nose tip surgery risks

Autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is relatively safe and is one of the common procedures in plastic surgery. Autologous cartilage is mainly taken from the three donor areas of autologous ear cartilage, rib cartilage and nasal septum cartilage, and the bone extraction area is decided according to the patient’s condition and the items to be corrected. Since it comes from the patient’s own body, it is more compatible with the nasal tissue and will not produce any rejection reaction, nor will it break the skin. However, autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure, and there are certain surgical risks due to the operation, post-operative care and the difference of individual physique. For example, nasal tip with autologous cartilage can reduce the pressure on the nose, and the risk of redness and swelling of the nose is reduced compared to prosthetic rhinoplasty, but it still exists. In addition, the preoperative design is not precise enough and the surgeon’s experience and skills are not up to par, resulting in incorrect implantation orientation, which can lead to problems such as hematoma and postoperative pain to the touch. In addition, generally cartilage absorption is less, but in the following cases may occur: 1, nasal tip lengthening greater than 20% of their own, while the nasal skin tension, under the action of tension can occur cartilage absorption; 2, patients after surgery for anti-inflammatory treatment is not complete, postoperative infection, can lead to cartilage absorption. Therefore, in order to avoid the above situation, it is recommended that candidates choose a regular hospital and ask an experienced physician to perform the surgery.
