Analysis of the Effect and Complication of Costochondral Graft in Constructing Nasal Tip Cartilage Composite for Rhinoplasty

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the therapeutic effect of costochondral graft (CCG) in constructing nasal tip cartilage composite for rhinoplasty. Methods: 84 rhinoplasty patients who were admitted to the hospital between September 2021 and September 2023 were selected and randomly grouped into a study group and a reference group of 42 cases each. The study group was prepared with CCG to construct a nasal tip cartilage composite and the reference group was filled with silicone material to compare the effectiveness of plastic surgery. Results: The plastic effect scores and the perioperative indexes of the study group were all higher than those of the reference group (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no difference in the nose-shaping indexes between both groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the nasal plasticity indexes of the study group were all better than those of the reference group (P < 0.05). The complication rate of the study group was lower than that of the reference group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The preparation of nasal tip cartilage composite using CCG improved the therapeutic effect of rhinoplasty, improved the perioperative indexes and nasal contouring indexes, and had fewer complications.
