How long does it take for the nose to become soft after rhinoplasty? How long does it take for the ear cartilage to soften the nose tip?

Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery that many people who love beauty have undergone nowadays. Generally, after the tip of the nose is padded with ear cartilage, the effect will become much more natural and the feel will become softer as time goes by.

After rhinoplasty, the hardening of the nose tip is related to the plumpness of the subcutaneous tissue and the quality of the rhinoplasty prosthesis material. It is recommended to wait for a period of recovery. Generally, it will become less hard in about two months. This requires a certain recovery period. If the nose is stiff now, accompanied by redness and slight pain, you can apply ice appropriately and strengthen care. During this period, do not touch the nose too much, pay attention to maintaining good habits and a reasonable work and rest schedule.

Ear cartilage rhinoplasty is a type of rhinoplasty, which is a surgical procedure to reshape the nose. It involves transplanting autologous cartilage tissue to the nose to raise the external nose. The donor cartilage is often taken from ear cartilage, nasal septum cartilage or rib cartilage. If you only need to make the nose tip and columella, autologous ear cartilage or nasal septum cartilage is enough. If you need to make the nose bridge, you will need autologous rib cartilage. Once the operation is successful, with careful postoperative care and the patient's good physical condition, the nose tip will recover relatively quickly, and it will generally look very natural in about 7 days.

Features of the surgery: Raise the nose tip and effectively improve the defect of a nose that is too low and too round; use ear cartilage to pad the nose tip to lengthen the nose tip and improve the defect of nostrils that are too exposed upward; protect the silicone prosthesis rhinoplasty and effectively prevent the silicone prosthesis from falling due to gravity, which may cause the skin on the nose tip to become thinner.

This process is relatively long, so you must be patient and take good care of yourself after the operation so that the effect can be better and last longer.

Specific recovery process:

One is (0-3) days. On the first day after surgery, the wound will continue to ooze blood and feel slight pain. On the second day, the swelling will be obvious, with more secretions, and there may be swelling around the eyes. Oral antibiotics are required for 3-5 days, or intravenous antibiotics for 3-5 days.

The second is (4-9) days, a period of rapid swelling reduction. The swelling and cyanosis of the surgical area will gradually become lighter. During this period, pay attention to keeping the skin in the surgical area and the nasal cavity clean.

The third is (10-30) days, the continuous swelling reduction period. The postoperative effect is basically clear, but there is still swelling. Be careful not to let the nose be hit by external force, and continue to take anti-inflammatory drugs.

Fourth, after (31-90) days, you will have basically recovered and can resume your normal life and diet, but you still need to be careful not to press hard or impact the reconstructed area.

Can ear cartilage nose tip augmentation be permanent?

Experts say that generally speaking, autologous ear cartilage will calcify in the human body after nose tip augmentation and cartilage transplantation for a long time. If it is not repaired well, it will not only not be able to be maintained permanently, but also may cause complications, because the implanted prosthesis may undergo some qualitative changes over time. If you want your nose to stay beautiful forever, you need to take GUGISO osteomyelin orally 30-60 days before the operation to promote the compatibility of the prosthesis with the nasal autologous tissue and prevent side effects.
