Hello, this is Director Lee Won of 21 Plastic Surgery.

The nose is said to be the most central feature of our face.

So even a small change can greatly alter the impression,

and it also plays a role in determining the harmony and overall mood of the face.

For this reason, many people considering their first nose surgery

seem to want to find a change that is more careful, harmonious with their face,

and natural yet refined^^

For people like this, today I will introduce how nose surgery using only “ear cartilage”

can achieve both a natural change and safety,

together with an explanation of a patient case.

[How is nose surgery using ear cartilage performed?]

The tip of the nose and columella are shaped naturally using only ear cartilage,

preserving a soft feel that allows the nose to be turned into a pig nose naturally when pressed by hand,

and if the bridge is low,

a silicone implant is used to raise it smoothly and evenly.

Because this surgery does not use septal cartilage or rib cartilage,

it places less strain on the body, and the nose does not feel hard when touched,

with little to no functional problems such as nasal congestion.

Now, let’s look at the patient’s surgical progress.

Front/side before surgery

Before surgery,

this patient visited us because the rounded tip and bulbous nose made the nose shape look blunt and spread out,

causing the nose to appear larger compared to the face.

Since the patient wanted a natural-looking nose during the consultation,

the surgical plan was carried out with the goal of achieving the most natural result possible without implants,

using ear cartilage and ear dermis.

Front/side after surgery

After surgery,

the nose tip, which had been round and broadly spread due to the bulbous nose,

was reborn into a slimmer and more natural, refined line through delicate correction using ear cartilage and ear dermis.

The boundary between the bridge and the tip became clearer,

and harmony with the overall facial contours improved significantly,

which also left the patient very satisfied.

When comparing the before-and-after images like this,

the change becomes even more noticeable at a glance.^^

As for the advantages of ear cartilage,

they can be simply divided into three points.

First

Compared to other cartilages, it is softer and more elastic,

so it has a natural and flexible feel.

Second

Because it is autologous tissue, there is no rejection response and the absorption rate is low.

Third

Since ear cartilage is mostly harvested through an incision behind the ear,

the scar is hardly visible.

When harvesting it, the ear’s original support structure is also

preserved sufficiently through the method used,

so there is no distortion or awkward change in shape.

However, this surgery also has drawbacks.

Because the amount of ear cartilage that can be harvested is limited,

it may not be suitable for people whose nose tip is extremely short,

who have a bulbous nose with thick and firm soft tissue at the tip,

or who want a more dramatic nose.

At our 21 Plastic Surgery,

we recommend nose surgery using ear cartilage for people like this.

  • Those whose nose tip is blunt or flat, lacking dimension
  • Those who want natural results
  • Those whose bridge is fine but are dissatisfied with the tip
  • Those who want a soft nose-tip line that does not look artificial
  • Those planning their first nose surgery

Ear cartilage nose surgery is a method that prioritizes safety, naturalness,

and harmony with an individual’s facial shape.

The most important thing is the proportion and design that suits the face.

If you accurately check your condition and make a plan through a consultation,

you can achieve more satisfying results.

If you want a nose line that fits your face perfectly,

we recommend consulting with a specialist medical team

through an examination to discuss the surgery and design that are suitable for you.

21 Plastic Surgery

focuses on accurate diagnosis of the cause and an optimal surgical plan

to propose the best nose surgery solution.

Our greatest goal at 21 Plastic Surgery is

to help you regain your natural beauty.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Thank you^^
