ABSTRACT

Objective:

To explore the feasibility of reconstruction of nasal tip with septal cartilage and auricular cartilage.

Methods:

From September 2018 to October 2019, 17 patients (two males and fifteen females) with low noses underwent rhinoplasty under general anesthesia. The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 39, with an average of 27 years old. Among them, all the 17 cases were primary rhinoplasty. During the operation, autologous nasal septum cartilage was used as septal extension graft to extend the caudal septum, and the auricular cartilage was used to enhance the stability of the strut and to elevate the tip for adjusting the shape of nose by making into spreader graft, columellar strut graft, derotation graft and onlay graft. The nasal dorsum was filled with polytetrafluoroethylene. Digital scanning technology was used to evaluate the nasal structure before and after operation. SPSS 22 software was used to analyze the data with paired t-test.

Results:

The follow-up was from 6 to 12 months, with an avaerge of 7.6 months. Seventeen patients were satisfied with postoperative nasal morphology and height. There was no infection, prosthesis displacement, skin flap necrosis, no auricle deformation and other complications. Statistical software SPSS 22 performed paired t-test on the preoperative and postoperative data obtained by digital technology postoperative nasal length and nasal tip protrusion increased compared with that before surgery, and it was statistically significant(length(3.60±0.77)mm, tip protrusion(3.61±0.64)mm, t value was -19.203 and -23.132 respectively, both P<0.001). The nasolabial Angle was smaller than that before surgery, and the data were statistically significant(3.40°±2.11°,t=6.635, P<0.001).

Conclusion:

The nasal tip and nasal septum extension complex constructed by autogenous nasal septal cartilage combined with auricular cartilage can increase the length of nasal tip, increase the height of nasal tip and reduce the angle of nasolabial angle.
