Advantages and Precautions for Rhinoplasty Using Autologous Cartilage

Among the various ways to improve appearance, Rhinoplasty can help form a three-dimensional appearance along with a change towards a beautiful appearance. 

However, attention should be paid to the selection and design of the implant as the naturalness, and foreign body feeling differs by a slight difference 

depending on the types of implant and materials used to augment the nose.

 

Materials used for nose surgery include artificial implants such as silicone, Goretex, and artificial dermis.

The results may vary depending on how much and how you use them and using them without considering individual characteristics can cause inflammation or side effects after the surgery

 

To prevent this, autologous cartilage collected from the patient's body is sometimes used.

These are human-friendly materials and can reduce the probability of inflammation and side effects because it utilizes what is in the body of the surgical person.

 

Because it is designed and used in detail by considering individual contours, nasal bone structures, and internal structures of the nose to use autologous cartilage, 

it can create lines that suit individuals harmoniously. The autologous cartilage used in this way is maintained semi-permanently, and the movement of the tip of the nose is soft and flexible

due to its more natural shape and low foreign body feelings than artificial implants. 

 

For natural improvement, the angle of the tip of the nose and the upper lip, the columella angle, should also be considered.

This is because, the angle of only 1 to 2 degrees, 1 to 2 mm, can cause a large aesthetical change in nose shape.

In addition, you can build a nose line that looks perfect from any angle by considering the length of the columella that falls beautifully when viewed from the front.

 

Before surgery, a thorough diagnosis of not only the aesthetical part of the nose but also the functional part is required to prevent various problems after surgery. 

Through a 3D-CT scan, the shape and degree of bending of the nose bone should be diagnosed, and accurate surgical plans should be established using an implant suitable for this. 

If a functional problem is found in the process, it is also necessary to consider whether it is a hospital that can address it and perform surgery through cooperation with otolaryngology.

 

The important thing in nose surgery is not just the shape and line of the nose, but also the natural shape and soft movement should be implemented after consideration of nose angle, 

columella length, and skin thickness, said DR. Seo Jae won, Rhinoplasty Specialist and Board Certified Plastic Surgeon of DA Plastic Surgery.
