Abstract:
Objective To investigate the superiority of augmentation rhinoplasty by using ear cartilage.Methods We excised ear cartilage from patient's unilateral ear.106 cases were performed through suitable ear cartilage that was carved to some shape and then transplanted to nasal tip and columella,and two alar cartilages were sutured and implant was used for rhinoplasty.Results All cases were followed up for one year after operation without implant slipping and malposition of implant,with better figure after enhancing and lengthening nasal tip.Conclusions This method of augmentation rhinoplasty using ear cartilage can avoid complications such as slipping,malposition and exposure of implant.Therefore,it is deserved to recommend clinical application.
