Abstract: Objective Based on the guidelines of aesthetics,to rebuild facial balance through rhinoplasty with autologous rib cartilage and facial fat grafting.Methods For patients with low nose and short nose,rhinoplasty with autologous rib cartilage and facial fat grafting were performed at the same time to correct the imbalance of facial contour caused by the nasal profile being too obtrusive after simple rhinoplasty.The results were photographed and recorded,and the postoperative satisfaction rate and complications were followed up.Results In this study,288 patients were included.The follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 5 years.The postoperative nasal appearance was improved and the overall facial contour was balanced.No serious complications were observed.The results were satisfactory and the satisfaction rate was 86%.Conclusion Rhinoplasty with autologous rib cartilage and facial fat grafting can not only improve the appearance of the nose,but also reshape the balance of the face,and make the face harmonious and unified again.
