A Natural Yet Glamorous Nose Line with Autologous Rib Cartilage Rhinoplasty

The shape of the nose can raise various concerns when it does not match the standard a person has in mind, because the nose is located at the center of our face and is one of its most three-dimensional features. For this reason, many people are becoming increasingly interested in rhinoplasty. However, even if the tip is simply corrected with autologous cartilage and the bridge with silicone, not every surgery is the same; it is important to identify the individual's facial shape, nose shape, the condition of the nasal bones, the condition of the skin tissue, and whether there are any internal functional issues in the nose, and then apply the appropriate surgical method.

Therefore, people looking into rhinoplasty may consider improvements for various nose shapes, such as a low nose, a hump nose, an upturned nose, a drooping nose, a crooked nose, or a hooked nose. In rhinoplasty, these external factors are important, but because the nose is also a functional organ responsible for breathing and smell, it is not enough to judge based only on before-and-after photos. After visiting a clinic, accurately checking the current condition of the nose through equipment can help with decision-making.

Because of this, interest in the materials used for rhinoplasty can also increase. In general, many people want the bridge to be improved with silicone and the tip with autologous cartilage for a natural yet glamorous line. The autologous cartilage used for the nasal tip includes septal cartilage, ear cartilage, and autologous rib cartilage.

The characteristics of autologous cartilage used in rhinoplasty are as follows: septal cartilage refers to the cartilage that acts as the partition dividing our nostrils in half, and ear cartilage refers to the small cartilage located inside the ear. Autologous rib cartilage refers to the soft cartilage found in the ribs. On average, ear cartilage and septal cartilage are known to be commonly used materials, while autologous rib cartilage is often known as a material for revision surgery. However, recently, autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty has also been widely used in primary rhinoplasty, and because it is large and firm, it can be considered a popular material.

What is autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty? Looking at the body, behind the ribs is a hard bone, while the front part is made of soft cartilage. This cartilage is called autologous rib cartilage, and it has the advantages of being large and firm.

Autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty is performed differently depending on whether only the bridge is low, both the bridge and tip are low, or only the tip is low.

For autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty in cases where only the bridge is low, a customized implant is inserted into the bridge to correct the overall nasal line.

In cases of autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty where both the bridge and tip are low, silicone, a customized implant, is inserted into the bridge, and autologous cartilage is grafted onto the tip to correct the overall nasal line.

If the bridge is already high or there is no issue and only tip surgery is performed with autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, autologous cartilage or autologous rib cartilage is grafted to the tip, and it is important that the connection between the bridge and the tip is smoothly blended.

When performing autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, the silicone used for the bridge is not a pre-made commercial silicone that creates an artificial look. Instead, a customized implant is used after carefully shaping it by hand while considering various aspects such as the individual’s overall appearance and the width, length, breadth, and height of the bridge.

Even if the material of the autologous rib cartilage used in autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty is excellent and safe, if the surgery is performed only from an aesthetic or cost-related approach, it may lead to revision surgery due to functional problems after surgery. Therefore, it is important that both the aesthetic and functional approaches are carried out at the same time. For those looking into autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, it is advisable to carefully check whether the medical staff have a high level of anatomical knowledge of the nose, whether they have extensive experience and expertise, whether the clinic is equipped with devices that can accurately assess the condition of your nose, and whether aftercare is clearly guaranteed.

At Ozigo Nplus, before surgery, the patient's nose condition is accurately identified through multi-angle photography, internal endoscopic imaging, various allergy tests, nasal functional tests, and 3D-CT imaging. Based on the extracted data, the surgery is analyzed and performed, making for a safer and more satisfying autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty.

In addition, Director Yoon Hyun-cheol personally handles every step one-on-one, from consultation regarding autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty to surgical planning, execution, treatment, and follow-up examinations, allowing you to receive high-level medical service from before the surgery through after it.

The aftercare provided after autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty includes issuing an Nplus membership card and implementing a repair service system guaranteed for one year after surgery, as well as a surgery responsibility guarantee system that prepares for all situations such as postoperative pain, inflammation, or dissatisfaction with the shape. This allows you to visit with greater peace of mind.
