Q. Is it better to have autologous rib nose surgery with a custom implant for autologous tissue rhinoplasty?

Hello, I’m Kim Hyung-taek, the CEO surgeon of Koone Plastic Surgery, creating silhouettes that speak before the eyes do.

This time, this was a question from someone looking into autologous rib nose surgery, and they said they were asking because they were curious whether a custom implant for autologous tissue rhinoplasty would be better than silicone.

Q. Is it better to have autologous rib nose surgery with a custom implant for autologous tissue rhinoplasty?

While looking into autologous rib nose surgery, I learned that there is something called a custom implant made from autologous tissue.

I knew implants could be made from silicone, but I also heard they can be made from autologous rib cartilage, so I’m wondering whether this would be better for issues such as complications after nose surgery.

As you were looking into autologous rib nose surgery, you became interested in custom implants for autologous tissue rhinoplasty.

The custom autologous tissue implant, Ribfit, is drawing attention recently as a method that improves the shortcomings of existing autologous rib cartilage surgery.

It is a cutting-edge technique in which autologous rib cartilage is processed into fine particles, the particles are placed into a 3D mold made based on patient-specific CT data, and the implant is then formed through compression molding.

Unlike traditional autologous rib nose surgery, which uses carved cartilage, this technique shapes the implant by compressing autologous rib particles inside a mold.

1. Minimization of cartilage warping

2. Precise left-right symmetry

3. Reproducibility of the desired line and height

4. Stability and a grafting rate based on autologous tissue

With this approach, excellent results can be expected in many aspects.

In other words, the custom autologous tissue implant Ribfit is a method that can achieve both the precision of custom design and the stability of tissue.

It is also a very suitable option for people who were hesitant about artificial implants such as silicone or Gore-Tex, and Koone has introduced the Ribfit system, handling everything from CT analysis and implant production to surgery and post-operative care.

Thank you.

For a patient who had undergone nose surgery once before, the nose was not significantly upturned or spread out, but the bridge was low and the shape was asymmetric and crooked.

Because they did not want artificial implants such as silicone, the surgery was planned using rib cartilage and a rib particle implant.

After surgery, the feeling that the mouth protruded was also greatly reduced.

This is a case in which an osteotomy was performed to correct a long, crooked nose with a dorsal hump.

If it is determined after osteotomy that there is insufficient septal cartilage to be used in the nose, ear cartilage can be additionally used.

After surgery, the hump became smooth and the overall balance improved.

This is a case of tip-plasty for a low, wide nose.

A 4 mm silicone implant was used to add height, and ear cartilage and septal cartilage were also additionally used.

You can see that the shape of the nostrils, which had stood out because they were large and blunt, has been corrected.
