I think self-destruction is just a fad.
There is a trend in nose surgery.

[Era of ear cartilage]
Before 2010, L-shaped silicone It was a time when ear cartilage was mainly used

[The era of nasal septum cartilage ]
However, since 2010, the era of septal cartilage has begun.
WHY?
Septum extension transplant (SEG), which you have probably all heard of at least once, was invented by Dr. Lee in 1997. Created by Byrd.
This teacher came to Korea around 2010, and from then on, nasal septum extension began to become widespread.
In the paper published by Dr. Byrd, “When the nasal septum was lengthened with nasal septal cartilage, the long-term prognosis was very good!” I said
------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------
[The era of donated rib cartilage]
But Dr. As in Byrd's paper, a septal extension transplant was performed using septal cartilage, but the effect was not very good.
WHY? Westerners and Asians are different.
The skin is thicker, less prone to stretching, and the septal cartilage is weaker.
That's why doctors try to lengthen the nasal septum by adding larger and stronger cartilage to make it wider.
So what did you find?? Donated costal cartilage!
As we started applying this large, strong, and wide pad, the side effects of septum extension began to become more prominent.

[The era of autologous costal cartilage]
Just 5-6 years ago, doctors were talking about donated costal cartilage like it was a divine material...
Depending on the person, the absorption rate is severe and it is susceptible to inflammation.
As a result, they look for cartilage that is bigger and stronger but absorbs less... That's autologous costal cartilage.
When a large amount of existing donor costal cartilage is added, a larger amount of strong cartilage is needed to solve the problem.
This tendency creates another side effect. Now
doctors are downplaying this problem,
just like they used to say there was no problem with donated costal cartilage
------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ------
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of cartilage will be popular in another 5 years.
