Is rib nose permanent? What is rib nose?

Nowadays, there are more and more projects and methods for nose surgery. There are several ways to do nose surgery alone. The most popular one recently is the rib nose. So what is the rib nose? Let’s take a look today!

Is rib nose permanent?

There are many types of rhinoplasty methods now, such as the common rib rhinoplasty, which has a very natural effect and basically has no side effects. It can usually last a lifetime, and because it is made of one's own material, there will be no rejection, which is a very safe method. Of course, rib rhinoplasty also has certain risks, such as distortion, infection, calcification, and absorption of the rib cartilage. These conditions appear early after the operation, and some require another surgery, which means there is a possibility of repair. If the effect is good after half a year, it can basically last a lifetime.

How long does it take for rib nose to recover?

You can walk around the house after 3 days of rib nose. If you want to run, it is best to wait for a while. And pay attention to gradual progress. Start with walking, then brisk walking, and then resume running after a while. Generally, it can be basically recovered in 1-2 weeks, and it can be back to normal in about a month. Be careful not to touch your nose, do not do strenuous exercise, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. You can choose to wear a mask or sunglasses when going out.

Which is better, ribs or ear cartilage?

In terms of time, the effects can be divided into long-term effects and short-term effects. In terms of short-term effects, in fact, the initial effects of expanded rib cartilage, all-autologous rib cartilage, silicone rib cartilage, and even some ear cartilage rhinoplasty are not much different.

Because in the short term, it mainly depends on the doctor's shaping. If the doctor is the same and there is no problem with the carving skills, there will be almost no difference after implanting it into your nasal tissue, so we need to pay attention to the later effects now.

Which one has the best post-surgery effect? ​​After all, nose surgery is a small surgery and costs a lot. You definitely can't just do a monthly or yearly nose surgery! As for the post-surgery effect, the silicone rib cartilage combination is obviously the winner.

About Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

As another representative of hyaline cartilage, rib cartilage has a large number of sources, reliable texture, and safe collection methods. Moreover, it is the "ultimate weapon" for various congenital nasal deformities and acquired nasal deformities caused by trauma or surgery.

To obtain the rib cartilage, usually under local anesthesia, a 3 cm long incision is made on the right chest wall to expose the perichondrium, peel off the periosteum, and cut the required length of rib cartilage of 4 cm to 5 cm. The length of the nasal dorsum is determined by the root of the nose and the upper point of the nose tip, and the cartilage of the required length is cut and carved according to the subtle aesthetic standards. After the cartilage is carved, the cartilage must be cut in an alternating manner from 2/3 of the four sides to eliminate the cohesive stress of the cartilage and prevent cartilage bending.
