What is autologous tissue rhinoplasty?
Autologous tissue rhinoplasty is a surgical method that extracts the dermis or cartilage of our body and is performed without implants.
Autologous tissue has the disadvantage that it can be slightly absorbed and it is difficult to extract a large amount, but it has the advantage of reducing the possibility of side effects and inflammation and allowing for natural and smooth surgical results.
Autologous tissue for rhinoplasty includes buttock dermis, temporal fascia, and costal cartilage used for the bridge of the nose, and ear cartilage, septal cartilage, and costal cartilage used for the tip of the nose.
Various tissues can be used to slightly raise the tip of the nose or the bridge of the nose.
However, since a large amount of volume is needed to raise the height of the bridge of the nose, the materials that can be used are very limited to buttock dermis or costal cartilage.
