Q. After Removing Septal Cartilage, Replacing It with Costal Cartilage: Are There Side Effects?

�

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, CEO surgeon of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic, creating high-quality results with meticulous technical skill.

Today’s question is from someone who is worried about the nose becoming crooked again after surgery for a deviated septum, and about replacing the septal cartilage with costal cartilage after removing it.

Q. After Removing Septal Cartilage, Replacing It with Costal Cartilage: Are There Side Effects?

�

I had surgery for a deviated septum, but it has become crooked again.

The surgery was done at a plastic surgery clinic, and I can breathe well.

�

However, because the bridge of my nose does not drop in a straight line, I looked into revision surgery, and they said that after removing the septal cartilage used during the deviated septum surgery, it should be replaced with costal cartilage. Are there any side effects from this?

�

And can septal cartilage be replaced with costal cartilage?

�

If septal cartilage is replaced with costal cartilage, will the cartilage on the bridge of the nose also be improved to be straight?

I had osteotomy, so the nasal bone is straight.

�

In conclusion(?), if the cartilage on the bridge of the nose? the line of the bridge just below the nasal bone is also improved to a straight nose by removing the septal cartilage and replacing it with costal cartilage?

It appears that the septum has already been used, so costal cartilage is needed to make the septum straight.

�

Rather than completely removing the septum, it is likely necessary to reinforce the side of the septum with costal cartilage to make it straight.

If this process is performed, the cartilage area on the bridge of the nose becomes straight.

�

Side effects generally include those that can occur with rhinoplasty, and in the process of harvesting costal cartilage, there is an added possibility of an abdominal scar, pain, and complications such as pneumothorax.

�

I hope you have a good result.

Thank you.
