[JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery] More Professional and Safer Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty uses a variety of materials.

Artificial implants such as silicone and Gore-Tex,

donated tissue such as donated dermis, as well as autologous dermis,

and autologous tissue such as fascia and cartilage

are used as materials for rhinoplasty.

Today, among the various rhinoplasty materials,

we will look at rhinoplasty using rib cartilage.

Rib cartilage refers to the soft, translucent

cartilage at the end of the ribs,

and is also called chest cartilage.

Compared with ear cartilage or septal cartilage,

it is characterized by being firmer,

so it is mainly used in nose revision surgery or reconstruction.

Rib cartilage offers a larger harvestable amount

than septal cartilage or ear cartilage, allowing

sufficient length to be secured.

Therefore, even in cases where the nose is low and short,

a higher nose can be created.

In addition, because rib cartilage is autologous cartilage,

it does not cause rejection reactions that may occur when implants are used,

and it has the advantage of lasting longer because its absorption rate is lower than that of other autologous tissues.

Rib cartilage is often used for people

who have already undergone rhinoplasty.

Therefore, aesthetic judgment that looks 10 years ahead

and the technical skill to complete it are needed

so that no further surgery is necessary.

JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery uses 3D CT to precisely examine

not only the nasal bone but also the shape,

condition, and size of the soft tissue around the nose.

For those concerned about nose revision surgery,

the rhinoplasty specialists at JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery

will provide 1:1 customized medical services,

from consultation and surgical planning to surgery.

*Plastic surgery may cause side effects such as bleeding and infection, depending on the individual.
