[Nose Surgery] Rhinoplasty Is Possible Without Implants

Autologous Tissue Rhinoplasty

Hello.

These days, natural plastic surgery that does not lose one’s original appeal

is getting the spotlight.

Interest is increasing in autologous tissue rhinoplasty, which can create a natural-looking nose line that feels like your own without implants.

What Is Autologous Tissue Rhinoplasty?

If it is difficult or undesired to use artificial materials such as

silicone, Gore-Tex, or Alloderm,

this is a surgery that improves the bridge and tip of the nose using only your own tissue.

Because there is no foreign material, the risk of side effects is lower, and it is suitable when you want a natural nose shape.

Types and Characteristics of Autologous Tissue

It is important to use the appropriate surgical method and materials depending on the cause.

1. Ear cartilage

Collected from behind the ear, it is often used at the nasal tip in simple augmentation procedures.

Ear cartilage is less rigid than septal cartilage

and can create a natural-looking nasal tip shape.

2. Septal cartilage

Septal cartilage is harvested from inside the nose during nasal surgery, so it does not cause scars, functional issues, or structural problems.

It is firmer than ear cartilage and plays a role in strongly supporting the tissue.

3. Rib cartilage

Rib cartilage is used when septal cartilage is difficult to use due to multiple revision nose surgeries.

It is used for reconstruction or support structures, and is performed using the 10th rib, which is easy to harvest.

4. Autologous dermis

Dermis-fat grafting is a method that uses part of the skin together with the fat layer.

Tissue from the armpit area, thigh, or under the buttocks is removed and grafted to the bridge and tip of the nose.
