How do the rib and nasal bones fuse?

Generally speaking, rib nose refers to nasal augmentation using costal cartilage. The usual reference price for costal cartilage nasal augmentation ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement can generally be seen within 1-3 weeks, although postoperative symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain may occur. There is no concept of how costal cartilage fuses following nasal augmentation because the implanted costal cartilage typically does not fuse with surrounding tissues. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Costal cartilage nasal augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure that uses a person's own costal cartilage tissue to reshape the nose. Prior to the procedure, a small section of costal cartilage is first harvested from the patient's ribcage. After meticulous preparation, the cartilage is then implanted into the depressed areas of the nose. However, once removed, the costal cartilage no longer retains its biological activity and is no longer living tissue. Therefore, the implanted cartilage generally does not integrate or fuse with surrounding tissues. Hence, the idea of how costal cartilage fuses following nasal augmentation does not apply. However, because the patient's own costal cartilage has good biocompatibility with other tissues in the body, it is less likely to cause rejection reactions after implantation. Additionally, it can provide stable support and form a natural contour at the implantation site.

It should be noted that prior to undergoing costal cartilage nasal augmentation, it is recommended to first consult with a qualified physician and carefully weigh the risks and benefits to determine whether the procedure can be safely performed. Additionally, to ensure safety, it is recommended that the surgery be performed at a reputable and正规 medical facility.
