Augmentation rhinoplasty with autologous cartilage
Autogenous cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty is a common plastic surgery. It uses the patient's own cartilage tissue to shape the nose bridge and nose tip, so as to improve the appearance of the nose.
1、 Operation principle
The principle of autologous cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty is to take out the patient's own cartilage tissue (such as ear cartilage, nasal septal cartilage or costal cartilage), carve and treat it, and then implant it into the nose to increase the height of the bridge of the nose and improve the shape of the tip of the nose. Since the patient's own tissue is used, there will be no rejection reaction, and the surgical effect will be more natural and lasting.
2、 Operation process
1. Preoperative design: The doctor will develop a personalized surgical plan according to the patient's facial features and nasal conditions, and mark the patient's nose.
2. Anesthesia: The operation is usually performed under local anesthesia, and the patient will stay awake during the operation, but will not feel pain.
3. Cartilage sampling: The doctor will take out a proper amount of cartilage tissue from the patient's ear, nasal septum or rib according to the operation plan.
4. Cartilage carving: The extracted cartilage tissue will be carved and processed by the doctor to adapt to the shape of the patient's nose.
5. Cartilage implantation: Carved cartilage tissue will be implanted into the patient's nose to increase the height of the nose bridge and improve the shape of the nose tip.
6. Suture: After the operation, the doctor will suture the incision and place a splint or bandage on the nose to fix cartilage tissue and reduce swelling.
3、 Surgical advantages
1. High safety: since the patient's own tissue is used, there will be no rejection reaction, and the operation is safe.
2. Natural effect: The effect of autologous cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty is more natural and lasting, and has better compatibility with surrounding tissues.
3. Personalized customization: doctors will develop personalized surgical plans according to patients' facial features and nasal conditions to meet patients' needs.
4、 Surgical risk
1. Infection: infection may occur after surgery, and timely treatment is required.
2. Bleeding: bleeding may occur during the operation, which needs to be stopped in time.
3. Swelling and pain: swelling and pain may occur after surgery, and proper care and treatment are required.
4. Cartilage deformation: Cartilage may be deformed after surgery, which requires repair or reoperation.
5、 Postoperative care
1. Rest: Rest is required after operation to avoid strenuous exercise and nose collision.
2. Diet: Pay attention to diet after operation, and avoid eating spicy, stimulating food and drinking.
3. Nursing: The nose needs nursing after the operation to keep it clean and dry to avoid infection.
4. Regular reexamination: regular reexamination is required after surgery to understand the surgical effect and recovery.
6、 Precautions
1. Selection of regular hospitals and doctors: autologous cartilage rhinoplasty is a complicated operation, which needs to be performed in regular hospitals and experienced doctors.
2. Preoperative communication: fully communicate with the doctor before the operation, understand the operation process and risks, and prepare according to the doctor's suggestions.
3. Postoperative care: After the operation, care should be carried out according to the doctor's requirements to avoid infection and other complications.
4. Pay attention to diet: Pay attention to diet after operation, and avoid eating spicy, stimulating food and drinking.
5. Avoid collision: avoid collision with the nose after surgery to avoid affecting the surgical effect.
7、 Case presentation
The following is a case of a patient who underwent autologous cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty:
Before operation: the patient's nose bridge was low and flat, the nose tip was round and blunt, and the overall shape of the nose was poor.
Postoperative: The height of the bridge of the nose increased, the tip of the nose became more straight, and the overall shape of the nose was significantly improved.
8、 Summary
The autologous cartilage augmentation rhinoplasty is a safe and effective plastic surgery, which can help patients improve the appearance of the nose and enhance self-confidence. However, the operation also has certain risks and complications, which require patients to fully understand and prepare before the operation, and care and recover according to the requirements of doctors after the operation.
