Case Studies of Autologous Cartilage Nose
This column focuses on Dr. Tang Yuxiang's approach to autologous cartilage rhinoplasty (ear cartilage, nasal septum, costal cartilage). These methods are commonly used for nasal tip shaping, support reconstruction, and challenging nose shapes.
The advantages of autologous cartilage are good compatibility and low risk of rejection, making it especially suitable for people who are concerned about implants or need nasal repair; However, rib removal brings additional wounds and recovery, so the pros and cons must be weighed. Ear cartilage is limited and mostly used for the tip of the nose; Costal cartilage provides strong support, making it suitable for large-span reconstruction.
Whether to choose autologous cartilage and which type depends on the nasal foundation and repair needs, and an in-person consultation is required. This column is for popular science demonstration, and results vary from person to person.
Medical science education cannot replace in-person consultations and diagnoses; please choose a reputable medical institution and have it evaluated by a qualified doctor.
