can cartilage move after rhinoplasty?

Can cartilage move after rhinoplasty?

Dr. Ashish Khare

Hair Transplant Surgeon

Answered on 11th Jan '24

After the process of rhinoplasty, it involves positioning or reshaping cartilage in your nose to get that aesthetic look. Although the cartilage itself does not “move” in a way that bones can, modifications made during rhinoplasty surgery may produce quite different appearances. Cartilage can be shaped and anchored into a new place during surgery but after healing is completed, it rarely changes its position. However, problems such as formation of scar tissue or alterations in the skin thickness can affect its appearance with time. Any inquiries concerning postoperative changes should be posed to the surgeon, who will shed light on how exactly this or that technique is carried out and what long-term results can occur.

Following rhinoplasty, the nasal cartilage is meticulously reshaped and repositioned to achieve the intended outcome. While cartilage doesn't exhibit the same type of movement as muscles or joints, the surgical procedure involves adjusting its structure.

While the cartilage itself does not move, its position may be adjusted during the surgical procedure. The term 'cartilage moving' might more accurately refer to the settling or adaptation of the reshaped cartilage to its new configuration. The healing process involves tissue stabilization.

The shape of your nose can change for the following reasons:

  • Can cartilage move after rhinoplasty? Yes, but in rare cases - In rhinoplasty cases where the bones need to be broken, the patients will heal within three weeks, and their nose won't move afterward. But if the septum's cartilage is crooked, it might deviate. Spreader graft is generally used to minimize the possibility.
  • If you had either implant or cartilage graft, it is possible for the cartilage to shift, causing a lumpy and unattractive look.
  • Aging: Your nose composes of - cartilage, soft tissues, and fat. The soft tissues contain collagen, which decomposes after a while. This will eventually make the nose droopy & stretched, causing it to change shape. These alterations may appear more significant on a nose that has been previously operated upon, as its internal structure will be more compromised.
