Hello. We are OJIKO N Plus Clinic, which has spent the past 16 years focusing only on your beautiful and healthy nose. The topic introduced this time is nose surgery without implants.

In modern times, many people choose plastic surgery as a way to transform their appearance into a more favorable image. Among plastic surgeries, rhinoplasty, which is located at the center of our face and creates the most three-dimensional appearance, is one of the most popular procedures. Rhinoplasty usually involves using an implant for the bridge of the nose and autologous cartilage for the tip, but for those who want a more natural and less artificial result, interest in nose surgery without implants has grown even more.

In the past, nose lines that seemed artificial and focused only on a high bridge were popular, but these days people prefer a nose shape that suits them while highlighting their individuality. As a result, rather than pursuing a perfect line, many people want to improve their image with a pretty nose line by correcting the tip without using implants, and they want to gather more information about nose surgery without implants.

What is nose surgery without implants? It is a procedure that corrects the nose line by using autologous cartilage for the tip without using artificial implants such as silicone in the bridge of the nose. Because nose surgery without implants uses autologous cartilage, the chance of inflammation is quite low, making it suitable for those who are concerned about inflammatory reactions or want a natural nose line.

Therefore, the types that may need nose surgery without implants include cases where the bridge is high but the tip droops, a turned-up nose tip, an arrow-shaped nose tip or a long nose, or a nose tip that has fallen downward. The surgical method also varies depending on each individual’s condition.

At OJIKO N Plus Clinic, to ensure safe and satisfying nose surgery without implants, we accurately check the current internal and external condition of the nose through preoperative 3D-CT imaging, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, and internal function tests. Based on the collected data, we determine the materials and method and perform nose surgery without implants suited to each individual.

The methods of nose surgery without implants are broadly divided into two types: cases where the bridge appears high enough that an implant is not needed, and cases where there is no problem with the bridge and only the tip is corrected.

The first method of nose surgery without implants is used when the bridge is high and does not need an implant. If there is a hump on the bridge, the hump is removed, the bridge is corrected through osteotomy, and then the tip is corrected with autologous cartilage.

The second method of nose surgery without implants is used when there is no major problem with the bridge and only tip surgery is performed. In this case, the tip is corrected with autologous cartilage, connected naturally to the bridge, and the connecting area is also smoothly corrected with autologous cartilage.

The autologous cartilage used in nose surgery without implants can be identified through preoperative examinations. The tip is corrected using septal cartilage, ear cartilage, or autologous rib cartilage. If using autologous cartilage is difficult, donor rib cartilage approved by the U.S. FDA is used.

In this way, nose surgery without implants can be seen as a procedure that reduces the burden of using implants and corrects the overall nose line through autologous cartilage. Although it may seem like a relatively simple procedure because no implants are used, the nose is not only important for appearance but is also an organ responsible for breathing and the sense of smell, so it is much more complex. Therefore, for those looking into nose surgery without implants, it may be helpful to choose only after carefully checking whether the medical staff have strong anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have extensive experience with the procedure, whether equipment is available to accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether follow-up care is reliably guaranteed.

At OJIKO N Plus Clinic, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles all processes one-on-one, from consultation about nose surgery without implants to surgical planning, performance, treatment, and follow-up visits, providing safer and more satisfying nose surgery without implants.

For aftercare, an N Plus membership card is issued, and we provide a one-year warranty after surgery through an A/S system. We also implement a surgical responsibility warranty system prepared for all possible situations, such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape, so you can receive thorough aftercare.
