Rhinitis has nothing to do with nose surgery. In fact, nasal obstruction may be resolved after nose surgery.

The extracted cartilage does not grow again.

The cartilages used for nose surgery include: nasal septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or costal cartilage. Each cartilage has pros and cons. In case of using the nasal septal cartilage, extraction is carried out from the inner incision made during surgery precluding additional incision. The flat cartilage is mainly used to raise the nasal bridge since it provides excellent support. Ear cartilage is the most commonly used autologous cartilage and is a good material to make a natural nasal tip that is more elastic than the nasal septum cartilage. Chest cartilage provides great support, and it is used when ear or nasal septal cartilages are not available.
