Can silicone ear cartilage nasal augmentation cause perforation?

Generally, silicone ear cartilage rhinoplasty combines both silicone implants and ear cartilage to improve the shape and structure of the nose. Silicone ear cartilage rhinoplasty usually does not cause perforation. The general reference price for silicone ear cartilage rhinoplasty is 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically occurring within two to three months. A detailed explanation is as follows:

Silicone implants used in silicone ear cartilage rhinoplasty have good biocompatibility and stability. After professional processing and implantation, silicone implants can remain stably in the nasal area and generally do not cause rejection reactions. Ear cartilage, harvested from the patient's own body, has biological characteristics similar to nasal tissue. After implantation, the ear cartilage can integrate with the surrounding tissue, forming a stable structure that supports the nasal shape. Combining ear cartilage with a silicone implant—placing the ear cartilage over the silicone—can protect the skin from being punctured by the implant, and also allows for fine-tuning of the nasal tip shape. Therefore, silicone ear cartilage rhinoplasty generally does not lead to perforation.

When undergoing silicone ear cartilage rhinoplasty, it is important to choose a reputable medical facility and an experienced surgeon to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
