Complications Following Auricular Cartilage Rhinoplasty
Disease description:
My husband suffered a nasal bone fracture due to a car accident. His doctor recommended rhinoplasty using auricular cartilage grafting, stating that this method yields superior aesthetic results. I would like to ask whether this type of rhinoplasty carries any potential complications or long-term side effects.

Dr. Li Ruizhi
Hello,
Many individuals experience varying outcomes following rhinoplasty, and these differences are directly related to the choice of implant material; therefore, proper postoperative care is essential. Complications associated with auricular cartilage rhinoplasty are linked to surgical technique—improper handling may lead to cartilage protrusion. Additionally, inadequate postoperative care can result in complications such as infection.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
