1 Why making short nose correction ?A Nostril exposed too much, short nose effect appearance
B Prosthesis Contracture after Rhinoplasty Causing Upturned Nose
2 How to make short nose correction ?
A Adjust the Cartilage of the Nose Wing
When the unpturned nose is not serious, the nose wing cartilage twist causing the nasal tip slightly warping,we could adjust the cartilage of nasal tip and nose wing fixation to improve unpturned nose
B Nose Enlargement with Autologous Cartilage
When the unpturned nose is heavy,the cartilage of nasal tip and nose wing could not extend the nose length, we could use autogenous septal cartilage tranplantation to nasal tip extending for reaching a smart nose
3 What is the advantage of autogenous cartilage rhinoplasty ?
Autogenous cartilage rhinoplasty is easy to reshape comparing with prosthesis rhinoplasty
Autogenous cartilage rhinoplasty could take from nasal septal cartilage, ear cartilage and costal cartilage. The molding effect is natural and permanent. No rejection, No infection, not easy to deform
4 What is autologous cartilages ?
A. Nasal septal cartilage
Nasal Septal Cartilage is harvested from the septum of the nose. This is the most frequently used autologous material for tip correction.
B. Ear cartilage
Ear Cartilage is harvested from the ear, leaving no visible scars or changes in the ear shape. This cartilage is used for reshaping the nose tip.
C. Costal cartilage
Costal Cartilage is harvested from the rib, leaving a 2-3cm long scar. This cartilage is very strong and is generally used when there is not enough septal or ear cartilage
5 Who suitable for autologous cartilage rhinoplasty ?
A Difficulty in Rhinoplasty
B Repeated Failure Rhinoplasty
C Want Nose More Natural and Permanent
D Having High Demand of Rhinoplasty, Wanting to be Safe
E Flat Nose, Deviated Nose and Upturned Nose
6 How HANFEI making autogenous cartilage rhinoplasty ?

11 Have any side effects after rhinoplasty ?
Few people will have infection, bad nasal appearance and rejection, if have these situation, should contact with doctor, the most important is preventing from colliding, reducing the side effects rate
12 How long my nose recover well ?
Recovery time vary with the rate of surgery complication, normally take out stitches after surgery 5-7 days, reducing swelling need one month, but for body rejection, it vary with different people, some people need 3 months to half years with recovery
