Autologous Costal Cartilage Rhinoplasty Simulation

Autologous Costal Cartilage Rhinoplasty

Autologous costal cartilage rhinoplasty allows for the harvest
of a larger quantity of cartilage compared to other autologous tissues,
enabling the creation of a more defined nasal shape.
It provides the strongest support, maintaining a beautiful nasal shape over time.

Autologous rib cartilage forms a strong nasal pillar
and structural support due to its durability.
As it is not an artificial implant, it reduces the risk of complications.

Nose Plastic Surgery Process

Autologous Costal Cartilage Rhinoplasty at 345 Plastic Surgery is Planned through Precise Analysis

This procedure requires precise planning, accurate assessment,
and advanced surgical skills due to the use of rib cartilage.

First, Rib Cartilage Harvest via Minimal Incision

Harvest rib cartilage
through a minimal 2.5cm incision
after preoperative assessment.

Fourth, Postoperative Care

Thorough postoperative care is provided to promote recovery
and minimize complications.

Autologous costal cartilage test

At 345 Plastic Surgery, a rib series test is performed to assess the condition of the autologous rib cartilage.

In some cases, rib cartilage may be ossified.
Without proper assessment, unnecessary incisions
and surgical modifications may occur.
Therefore, we establish a precise surgical plan
through preoperative testing.

High-level surgical skills

Requires higher-level surgical expertise than general rhinoplasty.

It involves not only rib cartilage harvesting but also precise secondary sculpting tailored to the individual’s proportions, requiring extensive experience and expertise.

At 345 Plastic Surgery, experienced surgeons with abundant experience in rib cartilage procedures perform the surgery.

How, Why,

Frequently Asked Questions
About Rhinoplasty

Contracture is often caused by inflammation from implants like silicone or Gore-Tex. In revision surgery, it is recommended to avoid reusing implants. If contracture is implant-related, the standard is to remove the implant and perform the surgery without it.

Whether or not to use an implant is a matter of choice. However, there may be limitations to how much the nasal bridge can be raised without an implant, which will be explained during consultation. If the nasal bridge is of average height, enhancing the nasal tip can make the nose stand out, making implant-free rhinoplasty a viable option.

Since the implant is supported by the underlying bone, collapse of the nasal bridge is rare. However, if the nasal tip is lower than the bridge, it may appear as tip drooping. If the patient is prone to tip drooping, adjusting the bridge height or using supportive materials can minimize the risk. However, due to the constant pull of gravity, tip drooping may occur over 10 to 20 years as ligaments and surrounding tissues loosen with aging. Even without surgery, the nose naturally droops over time due to aging.
