At AB Plastic Surgery, where there is extensive experience with autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty

Hello. This is AB Plastic Surgery!

The nose is the center of the face, and if this part is bent or does not have a pretty shape, the impression can look plain or even harsh.

People who have a complex about the shape of their nose usually plan to get rhinoplasty.

You already know that you should not undergo rhinoplasty carelessly, right?

So then, what should you be careful about when getting rhinoplasty, and what are the advantages of autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty?

We at AB Plastic Surgery will explain in detail!

"What is different about AB Plastic Surgery’s autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty?"

If the 9th rib cartilage, lower rib cartilage, or thin cartilage is used,

warping may occur, causing the bridge or tip of the nose to bend.

To reduce this phenomenon, at AB Plastic Surgery,

we harvest the 5th to 8th rib cartilage, which is the cartilage from the central area,

allowing long-term maintenance without deformation.

*What is warping? It refers to the phenomenon in which the bridge or tip of the nose bends over time after rhinoplasty.

One thing to note here is that although using the 5th to 8th rib cartilage can allow long-term maintenance without deformation,

dissection of that area is a difficult and technically demanding procedure.

Therefore, the surgery must be performed by a skilled dedicated plastic surgery specialist.

The postoperative photos may differ from reality due to the shooting environment, lighting, makeup, and other factors. Results vary by individual,

so please confirm the procedure results that are suitable for you through an accurate consultation.

"What are the advantages of autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty?!"

Among autologous tissues, it is the cartilage with the strongest support, so it can maintain a high nose shape over time.

In addition, because the amount that can be harvested is greater than that of other tissues, it can also be used for short noses, low noses, reconstruction procedures, and more, making the desired height and shape possible.

Compared with other tissues, the absorption rate is lower, so the maintenance period is longer.

And because autologous tissue is used, the likelihood of postoperative side effects is lower!

"What is AB Plastic Surgery’s unique POINT?"

✔️ Natural nose line

✔️ High durability

✔️ A noticeable difference in beauty

✔️ Improvement of nasal conditions

Through one-on-one consultations, we create a more natural nose line in a shape that suits you,

and with customized design, the likelihood of the nose line becoming deformed or the tip dropping is low.

Satisfaction is high because the effects after surgery are clear.

And if there are functional issues such as nasal congestion or a deviated septum, simultaneous correction is also possible.

"If you have rhinitis or nasal congestion, functional rhinoplasty should be done together"

Typical types of functional rhinoplasty include deviated septum / hypertrophic rhinitis / nasal valve stenosis.

What is a deviated septum? The septal cartilage located in the center of the nose bends to one side, causing functional problems such as nasal congestion, rhinitis, and sinusitis.

This is called a deviated septum.

What is hypertrophic rhinitis? It is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the mucous membrane lining the inside of the nose and is accompanied by various symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, and itching.

This is called hypertrophic rhinitis.

What is nasal valve stenosis? The nasal valve is a small space located at the upper inner part of the nose and refers to an important area that regulates breathing.

When this area becomes narrow, breathing becomes difficult and you feel stuffy. This symptom is called nasal valve stenosis.

If any of the above apply to you, we recommend correcting them at the same time as rhinoplasty.

If there is a functional problem, simultaneous correction during rhinoplasty should be performed,

because postoperative satisfaction is higher.

"Be sure to check whether every surgery is safe ✔️"

During rhinoplasty, it is difficult to breathe through the nose, so securing the airway is an important part of the procedure.

To help patients undergo surgery more comfortably, AB Plastic Surgery has a dedicated anesthesiology and pain medicine specialist directly handle everything from deciding the anesthesia method to

induction, monitoring, and recovery.

That concludes our explanation of autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty.
