First, before undergoing rhinoplasty, some easily overlooked risk factors include showing of the nasal tip, the possibility of contracture, thinning skin, and an artificial-looking result.

Among these, when the skin is thin, various potential issues can increase the burden of surgery.

Then, when performing no-implant rhinoplasty, the types of autologous tissue that can be used are as follows.

☑️ Ear cartilage

☑️ Septal cartilage

☑️ Autologous costal cartilage

In total, these four types of autologous tissue can be used for no-implant rhinoplasty.

VN’s no-implant rhinoplasty takes into account each person’s skin condition and facial proportions to create satisfying results, and if the skin is thin, careful selection is important.

VN uses crushed cartilage grafting and no-implant rhinoplasty using ear cartilage and septal cartilage.

In the case of crushed cartilage grafting, autologous cartilage is ground into particles and grafted into the nose.

In the case of using ear cartilage and septal cartilage, cartilage is used to correct the nasal bridge, the columella, and the nasal tip.

Also, if you have thin skin, it is a good idea to be careful about these behaviors after surgery as well.

Be cautious of changes in the nasal line caused by even small pressure, as well as pigmentation or redness caused by ultraviolet rays, and

avoid vigorous cleansing that can damage the skin and using cosmetics that contain irritating ingredients.
