Autologous costal cartilage can undergo unidirectional bending deformation after being taken out of human body. Therefore, when sculpting costal cartilage, experienced plastic surgeons, like sculptors, will make full use of the biological characteristics and shape of the materials at that time and carve according to their deformation rate.
It can be made into a beautiful bridge of the nose and the tip of the nose, or it can be made into a technical pillar to increase the nose column and lengthen the nose. The quality of this autogenous material is incomparable to all other rhinoplasty materials (silica gel, swelling material, hydroxyapatite, etc.). ), so the operating cost is also the most expensive.

Surgery:
Under local anesthesia, a 3cm incision was made under the breast contour or on the surface of the seventh costal cartilage to expose the perichondrium, peel off the periosteum, and cut the costal cartilage with the required length. According to the nasal root point and the point on the tip of the nose, the length of the nasal dorsum is determined, the cartilage with the required length is cut, and the costal cartilage graft is carved according to the fine aesthetic standard. After carving cartilage, it must be cut from all sides in a staggered way.
Eliminate the cohesive pressure of cartilage and prevent cartilage from bending. Costal cartilage, as a representative of another kind of hyaline cartilage, has a wide range of sources, reliable texture and safe sampling method. But also the ultimate weapon for all kinds of congenital nasal deformities, acquired nasal deformities caused by trauma or surgery.
