Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty: Safer and More Beautiful

Hello, from Gangnam Plastic Surgery

This is JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery.

The nose is the feature that can transform a person's impression. It is also an area that has a major impact on changes in appearance. That is why many people seek nose surgery solutions to enhance their beauty even further.

Among them, today we would like to talk about our clinic's solution for those who are considering rib cartilage rhinoplasty due to dissatisfaction after having already undergone a procedure.

There are many different methods for nose surgery. It can be performed using various materials and approaches such as silicone, Gore-Tex, ear cartilage, and septal cartilage.

Among these, today we would like to introduce autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, which uses the body's own tissue. It is a method that can create a striking change in the nose, with long-lasting results and almost no rejection response.

Rib cartilage refers to the area at the end of the ribs, and it usually uses the 6th or 7th rib. It is characterized by being firmer than ear cartilage or septal cartilage.

Because of this, it can play a role in firmly supporting the nose, which is why it is used in rib cartilage rhinoplasty and reconstruction.

Rib cartilage rhinoplasty is especially effective in cases of a short nose or a contracted nose. Because the length can be extended with rib cartilage, it is possible to naturally improve the complex.

Also, in cases where the tip of the nose droops downward, rib cartilage can be used as a support structure to firmly lift it. In such cases, this allows for a more effective improvement in appearance.

At our Gangnam JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery, we perform rib cartilage rhinoplasty using a more specialized method.

Based on know-how accumulated through extensive clinical experience, we remove only a minimal area of about 2 to 3 cm and carefully shape it to the required form. In addition, as a corrective approach that addresses existing issues, we insert the rib cartilage at the exact location, allowing correction that takes both aesthetic and functional aspects into account.

In addition, at Gangnam JW Jeongwon Plastic Surgery, we anticipate and account for curvature, asymmetry, and absorption rate in order to prevent revision procedures.

We also complete a more beautiful result with aesthetic judgment that looks 10 years ahead.

We hope JW Jeongwon can always be with you on your journey toward your own beauty. :)
