During surgery, the doctor will carefully design the surgical plan according to the patient's specific conditions to ensure that the shape of the nose is coordinated with other parts of the face.

Advantages of ear cartilage rhinoplasty

   The ear cartilage is an autologous tissue that is well compatible with the nose tissue and is not prone to rejection after surgery. The ear cartilage is soft in texture and can be well integrated into the nose tissue, making the nose shape more natural and avoiding the possible "fake feeling" of prosthetics rhinoplasty.

2. high safety
   Because autologous tissue is used, the risks of infection and rejection are relatively low.

The doctor will accurately measure the size and shape of the cartilage according to the needs of nose shaping to ensure that the transplanted cartilage can be Perfectly adapted to the shape of the nose.

2. nose shaping
   After removing the cartilage, the doctor will perform fine carving and shaping on the nose. According to the patient's specific conditions, the doctor will adjust the angle and arc of the cartilage to naturally integrate it with the nasal tissue. After surgery, the doctor will fix the cartilage in the nose to ensure its stability and aesthetics.

Postoperative care and precautions
