The benefits and drawbacks of using autologous rib cartilage for nose correction

Advantages
– Using autologous rib cartilage is another option for cases where there is insufficient cartilage in the nasal septum or ear to be used. It provides an alternative source of cartilage that can be harvested from the rib area to be used for nose correction.
Autologous rib cartilage is a strong and durable material that provides excellent support and stability. It can effectively support the nasal structure and withstand the forces applied to the nose. Additionally, the use of rib cartilage allows for greater flexibility in designing the desired nasal shape. Surgeons can shape and mold the cartilage to achieve the desired aesthetic outcome.
-Since autologous rib cartilage is derived from the patient’s own body, it significantly reduces the risk of complications such as inflammation and infection. The body’s immune system recognizes the cartilage as its own, reducing the likelihood of adverse reactions or rejection. This minimizes the potential for post-operative complications and helps ensure a safer and more successful surgical outcome.

Disadvantages
There is a wound caused by the surgery where the sternum bone was harvested and used in the lower chest area, approximately 4 centimeters in length.

Actually, the wound will be located beneath the breast crease, which will not be visible when wearing underwear or clothing.
So there’s no need to worry that the wound will affect our daily activities.
