Disadvantages of rib rhinoplasty

There are many methods of rhinoplasty now. The purpose of rhinoplasty is to make the nose bridge look tall and beautiful, but if you don’t want to use a prosthesis, you hope to achieve the effect of rhinoplasty through some of your own materials, because you will be more adaptable to the ones that grow out of your own body, and you will feel more at ease. Rib rhinoplasty also has sequelae, which everyone needs to understand clearly.

What are the common sequelae of autologous rib rhinoplasty?

1. Autologous soft rib absorption. Although the chance of autologous rib cartilage absorption is very low, some people still have symptoms of cartilage absorption. Cartilage absorption can only occur in the cartilage transplant area where there is chronic inflammation in the wound and poor wound healing. This phenomenon is seen in scar plastic surgery or infected area plastic surgery.

2. The pain problem of removing rib cartilage and the problem of incision scar. The rhinoplasty surgery is performed under anesthesia, but some people are more sensitive to pain or have strong anesthetic antibodies and will feel pain. Some people will also leave scars on the wound after the operation, but it is rare and generally there will be no scars, even if there are any, they are basically invisible.

3. The safety of autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty. Any surgery has risks. Like other surgeries, it may cause bleeding, infection, swelling, bruising, and ugly appearance. The effectiveness of various rhinoplasty techniques depends on the surgical procedure and the shape and size of the nose mold. But in terms of later safety, autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty is safe. There will be absolutely no rejection or inflammation.

It takes 1-3 months to fully recover from rib rhinoplasty. Autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty is a type of nasal plastic surgery that uses human cartilage tissue to achieve a rhinoplasty effect.

To speed up the rib rhinoplasty recovery process, you should be aware of the following post-operative care:

1. After autologous cartilage rhinoplasty, it is strictly forbidden to touch the surgical incision with your hands and avoid getting the incision wet.

2. Minimize activity to prevent the prosthesis from moving.

3. Use antibiotics for 3-5 days to prevent infection.

4. The sutures in the nose will be removed after 5-7 days. After rhinoplasty, there will be local swelling at the tip of the nose, which will gradually subside after four days. Avoid weight bearing, which will aggravate the swelling.

The above introduces the recovery time required for rib rhinoplasty. If you do not pay attention to care during this period and are often exposed to harmful environments, the nose may become inflamed, itchy and painful, and other problems may occur, which will also affect the normal function of the nose. In order to avoid these symptoms, everyone should pay attention to care methods, strengthen the regulation of the nose, and stay away from the harm caused by rib rhinoplasty.
